Davey Richards is out to address the crowd. He puts over the tag match. He says, ” I love wrestling, more importantly, I love it in a ROH ring.” He also name drops Samoa Joe & Bryan Danielson. Says he’s very ashamed of the person he’s been out of the ring the last year. That he put his trust in the wrong people but that the WOLF is back! Says he’s gonna come out later and watch a match later in the evening, probably the O’Reilly/Cole match and says he’ll be at Death Before Dishonor in Chicago.
Mike Posey defeats Jeff Lewis Neal via a top rope leg drop
Post match Corino and Jacobs attack both men. ROH Kevin Steen is out to talk. Says that since Cornette isn’t here tonight he is cancelling the main event because he doesn’t want to get injured before DBDH. Titus comes out & all three men beat him up. Briscoes are out for the save to a huge pop.
Ring Announcer Corky Franks announces that Officials will fine Steen if he doesn’t compete tonight so the Main Event is on.

Haas being very aggressive with ringside fans who are now chanting “Roid Rage” at him. There is a lot of trouble between Elgin and Strong already. Strong slapped Elgin at one point and has led to the WGTT being in control. Elgin went for a hot tag but Strong bailed on him. When Strong was put in the submission, he could have broken it up but left the ring.

Davey Richards is out to watch this match. O’Reilly thus should be getting a future shot at the TV title.
MAIN EVENT SIX MAN STEEL CAGE WAR

It has taken 30+ minutes to set up the cage. Keep with us folks. Said to start on the floor and just a really brutal brawl. Blood is already flowing. Took about five minutes to even get it in the cage with both Briscoes already bleeding. Mark took a long time to make it into the cage. It was a 3 on 2 advantage for SCUM against Jay & Titus. Jay is losing a lot of blood and it is showing. Mark Briscoe climbs the cage and hits moonsault from top of cage.
Post match Lethal comes from the back to attack the heels trying to prove his killer instinct to end the show.
