From Lakeland, FL:
1. Caprice Coleman, Will Ferrara, & Tadarius Thomas vs. the Decade (Roderick Strong, BJ Whitmer, & Adam Page).
No Jimmy Jacobs, but the Decade is clearly falling apart at the seams. Whitmer & Page went out of their way to keep Thomas from being a factor, since he left their group a few weeks back. Ferrara, in the time he was in the ring, showed a lot more potential. They apparently wasted him by teaming him with Benchmark Bill Daly, who wrestled a grand total of 1 match on TV for ROH. Coleman hit the hands-free huracanrana on Strong for a near fall. Strong came back and they got heat on all three faces for a time. It again came down to Strong & Coleman. Page grabbed a chair, not the usual folding kind, mind, and Strong tossed it away. Coleman hit the Trinity on Page, with Strong getting caught on the last suplex. Strong hit a superplex for 2. Coleman came back, and after a miscue between Page & Strong, Coleman hit the Holy Roller to end it.
Winners: Caprice Coleman, Will Ferrara, & Tadarius Thomas.
Page & Strong are having words after. Whitmer tries to break it up, but he & Page then attack Strong, who makes his own save. Strong tears up a Decade shirt, which means he's the 2nd man to leave the group.
Kevin Kelly tried to interview Ray Rowe, who is recovering from a broken arm sustained in a cycle accident 3 months ago, but back come Page & Whitmer. Whitmer cuts a promo on Strong, who is challenged to face Page at Final Battle on December 7.
Adam Cole cuts a backstage promo on Jay Briscoe, and they'll meet on 12/7.
2. ROH TV title: Jay Lethal (w/Truth Martini) vs. ACH.
These two were supposed to meet in Toronto at All-Star Extravaganza, but ACH had travel issues and was scratched. Matt Sydal is at the desk with Kelly and the returning Steve Corino. Very good main event. They did a sick spot where ACH took a bump over the top and hit his neck on the announce table. Refs & Sydal start to lead ACH to the back, but Lethal & Martini began gloating a wee bit too early. Back comes ACH to restart the fight. However, he had to sell the neck the rest of the match. Lethal finally hit the Lethal Injection, but only got a 1, which popped the crowd. Lethal then broke out a cradle DDT to end it.
Winner: Jay Lethal.
Post-match, Sydal teased joining the House of Truth, but instead is the next challenger for the TV title.
Next week:
Michael Elgin in action.
AJ Styles vs. Hanson.
In 2 weeks:
Sydal vs. Adam Cole.
