Do you know who I’ve beaten here? People that call themselves Mr. ROH, Mr. Wrestling, American Wolves, I’ve beaten everybody. A guy with a mohawk and a bum wheel, that doesn’t faze me one bit. By the time we face each other, I will already be the longest reigning ROH TV Champion in company history. So after this lay-up of a match, Tommaso, I want to invite you and everyone else on my long list to the greatest celebration of all-time. The celebration of me, the celebration of HOOPLA and a celebration of this title. This title that has been around the waist of the face of ROH for the last 9 months and for the next year, its gonna stay right here.

Kevin Kelly announces that at Final Battle, Outlaw Inc. will indeed challenge reDRagon for the ROH Tag Team Titles.

We need that champions’ money, do you know how much this caradigan costs? This is J-Crew, I could have bought from last season, but this is 2013, the year of reDRagon. You think we will be the laughingstock of our coffee place on Poetry Tuesday? Bobby Fish says we wouldn’t be caught dead without these titles. O’Reilly says that “Ca-Priest” and “Cedric the Sports Entertainer” will have to pry these titles from our cold, dead hands.

Commercial

Back from commercial, we go to a promo from the ROH World Champion Adam Cole. Cole says that December 14th is supposed to be the biggest night of my career. I get to main event Final Battle, ROH’s biggest event of the year and I’m going in as the ROH World Champion. But the problem is, what I’m perplexed with and what I don’t seem to understand is that there are 2 people that I am facing that night, both claiming to be the REAL ROH World Champion and more disgusting than anything else, some people actually believe it. There has been so much talk of my recent attitude change and let me make something clear, I’m perfectly balanced. I have a chip on both shoulders and those two chips are Michael Elgin and Jay Briscoe. Michael Elgin, you have continued to complain and make excuse after excuse after excuse as to why you should be the REAL ROH World Champion, why you should take this belt from me. Michael Elgin, get used to being #2, because as long as I am in this company, it will always be that way. Jay, you wanna talk about a crybaby, you wanna talk about somebody that can’t accept reality, Jay, you’re the worst of them all. You actually got to a point where you actually created a fake championship for yourself and walking around, claiming to be the REAL ROH World Champion. Jay, take a hint, your time has gone and my time, well, its right now. Final Battle is so very fitting because FINALLY, I prove to the world, FINALLY, I prove to you two that the REAL ROH World Champion is and always will be Adam Cole. How fitting is it that a man I admire, a man I look up to will be in attendance to watch me do what I do best and that’s be the very best. New York City, get ready. ROH, get ready. More importantly, Michael Elgin, Jay Briscoe, get ready. Because the champ is going nowhere.

Steve Corino is in the ring and introduces Jay Briscoe. Jay makes his way to the ring with his ROH World Title belt. Corino thanks Jay for accepting this interview. Corino brings up the fact that ever since Jay vacated the ROH World Title, he’s a different person. Corino asks Jay for his thoughts on his match at Final Battle. Jay says first of all, I never got beat for the ROH World Title so I’m still the champion. “Still World Champ” chants by the crowd. Corino says he understands Jay’s frustration, never before with the ROH World Title vacated, but Adam Cole is the ROH World Champion and as unpopular as that may seem, you aren’t the ROH World Champion. Corino goes to ask Jay another question, but Jay says that since Corino said that I’m not the ROH World Champion, that means you are calling me a liar. I do have an open challenge for this belt and I’m sure these people in Columbus, Ohio wouldn’t mind seeing a World Title match. Corino says he isn’t calling Jay a liar and I’m not looking to accept your open challenge, I’m asking for your thoughts on Final Battle. Jay says that if he was Corino, I would take those pretty little sunglasses off, because I’m getting ready to whoop yo ass! All of a sudden, Silas Young runs out and attacks Jay from behind. Silas takes off his belt and goes to whip Jay with it when Mark Briscoe runs out to make the save. Mark grabs Silas’ belt and whips him with it, sending Silas to the outside. Mark and Silas brawl on the outside as Mark wraps the belt around Silas’ neck and they go to the back. As this is going on, Adam Cole runs out and goes to hit Jay with the ROH World Title belt. Jay ducks the belt shot and unloads on Cole with right hands. Michael Elgin then runs out and nails Jay with a spinning backfist! Elgin goes for the Elgin Bomb, but Cole superkicks Elgin in the back of the head! Cole grabs the ROH World Title belt and wallops Jay with it! Cole grabs Jay’s title belt and holds both belts overhead. Cole then drops Jay’s title belt to the ground and holds up the ROH World Title belt as we go to credits.
