From Philadelphia, it's championship night!
1. Ring of Honor tag titles: The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian w/Chris Sabin) vs. the Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson).
A few minutes in, Sabin gets involved, and gets tossed by ref Paul Turner. He refuses to leave, so the Bucks serve up a double superkick to force him out. Daniels now wears an Army General's jacket to the ring. He's begging for heat, isn't he? Ring general or not, he's lost credibility with the Addiction's antics of late. Late in the match, the Kingdom come down and hassle both teams. Matt Taven & Michael Bennett face the winners. Daniels with a belt shot, but that doesn't get it done. Maria gets on the apron. Nick goes after her, but Kazarian rolls him up. The announcers say he grabbed the tights, but the camera didn't pick up the infraction.
Winners: The Addiction.
Nigel McGuinness isn't digging. He reams out Daniels for the shortcuts, and threatens to take the Kingdom's title shot away. Instead, because of the contract already signed, he can't do that, but he can add the Bucks to make things fair, since they now have issues with both teams, for 9/18 in San Antonio at All-Star Extravaganza. Should've made it an elimination match, especially considering where this show was taped.
Inside ROH: Mandy Leon looks at the Dalton Castle-Silas Young feud. That culminates at All-Star Extravaganza, too. Young is due.
2. ROH World title: Jay Lethal (w/the House of Truth) vs. Roderick Strong.
No consistency in the officiating. Senior ref Todd Sinclair saw Donovan Dijak & J. Diesel interfere, but didn't throw them out. He's done it before. It would've made more sense to get rid of the clutter, since Lethal won the World title after Truth Martini was thrown out. The story was Strong's dogged determination to win his 2nd ROH title. He even hit Hail to the King for 2. As with Hanson last week, Lethal needed two Lethal Injections to win the match.
Winner: Jay Lethal.
Post-match, reDRagon came out. Lethal faces Bobby Fish for the TV title, and Kyle O'Reilly for the World title, in San Antonio. This is what WWE is copying with the inferior, credibility-challenged Seth Rollins.
