* The Young Bucks def. War Machine and The Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Baretta) in a Triple Threat Tornado Tag Match to retain the ROH Tag Team Championships when they pinned War Machine with the IndyTaker and Death by Superkick. Best Friends were added to the match before the bell as they cut a promo requesting to be added after noting they had beaten the Bucks recently on ROH TV.
* Cody Rhodes def. Christopher Daniels to become the new ROH Champion with two Cross Rhodes. Marty Scrull tried to get involved at one point, but Kazarian ran out and chased Scrull to the back. Rhodes now will face Okada for the IWGP Title at the live NJPW G1 Special show on AXS TV on July 1 in a match that pits the IWGP Champion against the ROH Champion in a Champion vs. Champion Match.
