1. ROH tag titles: reDRagon def. the Decade. Kyle O'Reilly pinned Roderick Strong.

2. ROH TV title: Jay Lethal def. Will Ferrara.

3. ROH title: Jay Briscoe def. Mike Bennett.

 

Jay Briscoe opens, discussing his title defense vs. Michael Bennett. A universal translator might be needed if you don't comprehend what the champ is saying.......

1. ROH tag titles: reDRagon vs. Jimmy Jacobs & Roderick Strong (w/BJ Whitmer & Adam Page).

The Decade gets a tag title shot, but the internal issues within the now 4-man group may be a problem. Fans hate the Decade more, so the champs are default faces. No change in style, though. Best match on the show. Jacobs is trying for tag title #6 (Whitmer was one of his past championship partners, and his last one, Steve Corino, is in absentia for a 3rd week). Strong's been a tag champ, too, but it's been too long since he had the titles. Key point in the match came late. Page tried to give Strong a chair to use, but Roddy, choosing to use his own considerable skills, rejects it, and ends up paying for it, as he falls victim to Chasing the Dragon.

Winners: reDRagon.

2. ROH TV title: Jay Lethal (w/Truth Martini) vs. Will Ferrara.

This spins out of the Honor Rumble from two weeks ago. Lethal & Martini promised what amounted to a squash, but didn't deliver. Ferrara showed plenty of fire, but he's in the underdog spot. Apparently, "Benchmark" Bill Daly won't be back anytime soon, as he & Ferrara have split. Ferrara blocked the Hail to the King, but couldn't avoid the Lethal Injection.

Winner: Jay Lethal.

3. ROH title: Jay Briscoe vs. Michael Bennett (w/Maria Kanellis).

Also spinning out of the Honor Rumble. Bennett has earned his shot, and Maria, now his wife, seems to have calmed Adam Cole down. Unfortunately, it's not Bennett's time yet, though it wouldn't have been a problem to give him the belt as a weddiing present. Digressing. Cole didn't come out for the match, which might've been just as well. Maria tries sliding in her "title of love", but ref Todd Sinclair intercepts. It was a decoy, allowing Bennett a low blow and a piledriver, the latter he's forbidden to use after his feud with Kevin Steen (now with NXT). However, Briscoe kicks out, as Maria's distraction took too long. Briscoe comes back and hits the Jay Driller to retain.

Winner: Jay Briscoe.

Maria's upset, so Jay goes after her. Cole ambushes to make the save. Matt Taven returned, a heel again, and whacked Mark Briscoe, who came to his brother's aid, with the "title of love". Well, I guess Matt Hardy won't be back anytime soon, either, and Matt Sydal (formerly Evan Bourne), who returns next week, wasn't in the Kingdom's plans. Let's see how long it takes before the Kingdom implodes, because you know it will.
