– Claudio Castagnoli defeated Necro Butcher. Lots of quick offense by Butcher early on in match until they brawled to the outside. The finish saw Jimmy Rave interfere spitting in the face of Necro allowing Castagnoli to hit a low blow and roll up for the win.
– A video package runs noting that Austin Aries is now the new ROH World Champion.
– MsChif defeated Nevaeh. Fairly short match here. MsChif locked on a submission on Nevaeh bending her leg backwards. Jimmy Jacobs ran down to distract the referee allowing MsChif to spit in the face of Nevaeh and hit the Desecrator for the win. Lots of interference and spitting tonight.
– Colt Cabana and Brent Albright have a new segment called “The Art of Pro Wrestling.” They were standing near the merchandise table and Cabana asked Albright what they do with people who ask questions. Albright responded, “We punch them in the face!” They plugged ROHwrestling.com and new DVD releases.
– Photos are shown of Austin Aries’ ROH Title win.
– A promo was shown with Ric Flair where he put over ROH saying the company was awesome and that they treated him great.
– Kenny King defeated Kenny Omega. Very good match here with lots of fast paced offense from both. The finish saw Rhett Titus attempt to interfere, but it backfired when King took him out on the ring apron allowing Omega to hit a huge reverse huracanrana followed by an electric chair german suplex to get the pinfall.
– Bryan Danielson & Tyler Black vs. The American Wolves is announced for next week.
– Eddie Kingston defeated Andy Ridge. Quick match here that saw Ridge get in a few kicks only to take a huge backfist from Kingston to get the win.
– Jimmy Jacobs cut a promo hyping his “Fight Without Honor” match with Delirious next week.
– KENTA defeated Roderick Strong in the main event. Another solid match on the show with lots of back and forth action between the two. Strong countered Go To Sleep attempts by KENTA many times towards the end. The finish saw Strong attempt a Gibson Driver, but was countered and took a Go To Sleep from KENTA for the win.
