* Former WWE Creative Team member & MLW owner Court Bauer will be working with ROH going forward with their marketing and branding.
* Main event of Final Battle went long due to waiting for Chris Hero to arrive. Hero opened the CZW Cage of Death show against champion Drew Gulak, then rushed from South New Jersey to get to New York City in time for the show closing angle.
* ROH’s next NYC show will be on May 14th, 2014.
* Outlaw Inc. went into the crowd after their match due to a fan hitting Eddie Kingston.
* Adam Cole & Matt Hardy are now a duo in ROH.
* Jimmy Jacobs, Roderick Strong and BJ Whitmer are now a faction called the Decade, with the idea that they have been the constant in the company while others have used ROH as a stepping stone. With that, Whitmer’s neck injury appears to not be as serious as everyone first thought.
* Ring announcer Larry Mercer is now working for the company in the merchandise end as well as voiceovers for the TV show.
