“Pretty” Peter Avalon vs. Trent Beretta

This was surprisingly good, if only for the fact that Avalon usually never gets anything resembling shine.

Beretta had the upper hand until Avalon sent Beretta into the corner post, before following up with a crossbody to the floor. Avalon got in Cassidy’s face, which allowed Beretta to hit a big back body drop on the floor. Beretta went for a spear into the barricade – the Roman Reigns Special – but Avalon moved, with Beretta crashing into the barricade. Avalon hit a high cross for a nearfall.

Avalon went to the middle rope, but Beretta yanked Avalon down into a Saito suplex. Beretta hit a pair of German suplexes before hitting a half-and-half suplex. Beretta hit the running knee for a nearfall. Avalon pushed out of a tornado DDT before hitting a superkick. Avalon followed with a springboard crossbody for a nearfall. Beretta went for a top rope hurricanrana, but Avalon rolled through for a nearfall. Avalon reversed a piledriver into a Tombstone of his own for a nearfall.

Beretta sent Avalon to the apron. Avalon went over the top for a sunset flip, but Beretta caught him in with the Strong Zero for the win.

Winner: Trent Beretta via Pinfall.

It was announced that next week, Beretta will challenge ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata for the title next week.

Backstage: Dalton Castle

Dalton Castle was backstage with Lexy Nair. He was confident heading into his ROH World Title match against Eddie Kingston because he was better than Kingston. Castle said that Kingston’s only chance at winning would be to score a knockout.

The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) defeated Sebastian Wolfe & Jacoby Watts

Watts took the microphone to introduce himself and his partner before the Outrunners jumped them from behind. They worked on Wolfe for a few minutes before Wolfe got the tag out to Watts. Watts ran wild before the Outrunners sent him to the floor. The Outrunners hit Wolfe with a double-team powerslam for the win.

Winner: The Outrunners via Pinfall.

Backstage: Matt Sydal, Christopher Daniels

Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal were backstage with Lexy Nair. They knew that their tenure didn’t mean anything when going against their opponents El Hijo Del Vikingo & Komander, but they were ready for the challenge.

Emi Sakura vs. Kel

The taller Kel teasingly called for a test of strength, but Sakura punched her in the gut and locked her in a surfboard stretch. Kel came back with a bicycle kick for a nearfall, but Sakura avoided a corner kick and repeatedly chopped Kel. Sakura hit a crossbody in the corner before hitting a butterfly backbreaker for the win.

Winner: Emi Sakura via Pinfall.

Backstage: The Outrunners

The Outrunners were backstage with Lexy Nair. They hyped themselves up as the best team in ROH.

The Boys wrestled with modified peacock masks on. The Bollywood Boys hit a tag team combination in their corner, ending with a middle-rope bulldog from Harv for a nearfall. Brandon got the tag out to Brent, who ran wild. He hit a dive onto Harv before double-stomping Gurv for a nearfall. The Bollywood Boys hit a Demolition Decapitation for a nearfall that was broken up by Brandon. Brent hit Sole Food before hitting a pendulum slam for the win.

Winner: The Boys via Pinfall.

Backstage: Tony Khan ROH TV Title Announcement

The logical decision was to crown a new champion at Final Battle. The qualifying matches will add some juice to the television shows for the next few weeks.

Tony Khan was backstage, where he announced that a new ROH Television Champion would be crowned at Final Battle in a six-way Survival of the Fittest match. Qualifying matches would be happening in the next few weeks to determine the competitors in that match.

Backstage: The Renegade Twins, Maria Kanellis

Charlette & Robyn Renegade were backstage with Lexy Nair. They talked up their chemistry as sisters and as a team as opposed to their opponents, Leyla Hirsch & Rachel Ellering. Maria Kanellis entered the scene, asking to have a word with the Renegades off-screen.

Athena & Billie Starkz vs. Brooke Havoc & Johnnie Robbie

Athena feigned a handshake before punching Robbie in the face. Robbie outpaced Athena on the apron, but Athena countered a sunset flip into a powerbomb. Robbie hit Starkz with a jawbreaker before tagging Havok, who hit a wacky bodyscissors into a DDT for a nearfall. Athena cut off Havok with a knee to the back, allowing Starkz to forearm Havok. Starkz menaced the referee, much like Athena usually does. Athena tagged in and hit the Despicable Knee for the win.

Winner: Athena & Billie Starkz via Pinfall.

After the match, Starkz put Robbie in a crossface before Athena put Havok in one as well. Athena looked impressed with her minion.

Backstage: “All Ego” Ethan Page, Mark Sterling, Tony Nese

Ethan Page was backstage with Lexy Nair. He was happy with costing Tony Nese his match last week before Nese and Mark Sterling entered the scene. Sterling and Nese complained before reminding Page that Nese had already beaten him. Page challenged Nese to a rematch as he did weeks ago, this time with Nese accepting the challenge.

The Renegade Twins (Charlette & Robyn Renegade) vs. Rachael Ellering & “Legit” Leyla Hirsch

Hirsch handled the Renegades by herself, hitting the pendulum dropkick in the corner for a nearfall. Ellering tagged in, hitting a double shoulder block with Hirsch. Charlette covered Hirsch’s eyes with her headband before tagging in Robyn, who hit a high crossbody for a nearfall. The Renegades double-teamed Ellering, hitting a double suplex for a nearfall.

Ellering fought her way to the corner and tagged in Hirsch, who ran wild on the Renegades. She hit a gutwrench suplex on one Renegade onto the other before hitting a running knee for a nearfall. Hirsch set up Ellering for a running uppercut for a nearfall. The Renegades tried to double team Ellering, but Ellering sent them into each other and got the win with a sunset flip.

Winner: Rachael Ellering & “Legit” Leyla Hirsch via Pinfall.

Hirsch was on the floor tending to her braced knee, when Maria Kanellis came out to check on her. Hirsch got helped from ringside.

Backstage: Lexy Nair, Billie Starkz, Athena

Athena & Billie Starkz were backstage with Lexy Nair. Athena was mildly impressed with Starkz, then told Starkz and Nair that they would either step up as minions or Athena wouldn’t be happy.

Marina Shafir vs. Amira

Shoutout to Rich Latta on the track for Marina Shafir. Shafir controlled the match early until Amira fought her off and made a small comeback. Shafir booted – well, footed – Amira in the face before hitting a judo slam. Shafir locked on a Darce Choke and got the stoppage.

Winner: Marina Shafir via Submission.

Matt Sydal & Christopher Daniels vs. El Hijo del Vikingo & Komander

An awesome tag match here. I love ROH hosting these lucha showcases every week, as they have the talent in AEW to keep up with the AAA stars.

Sydal and Vikingo got into a pinning predicament before reversing each other’s armdrags. Daniels and Komander tagged in, with Komander entering the ring with a flourish. Daniels got double-teamed by Vikingo and Komander, with Vikingo vaulting off of Komander’s back to hit a dropkick. They hit a double 619 before Komander hit a standing moonsault for a nearfall. Sydal held onto Daniels on an Irish Whip, allowing Daniels to drop Komander on the ropes and tag out.

Daniels and Sydal worked on Komander, with Sydal hitting a corkscrew senton for a nearfall. Daniels hit a pair of bodyslams before clubbing him with a lariat. Sydal hit a vaulting Meteora for a nearfall before tying Komander up into a bow and arrow submission. Sydal caught Komander with a back kick, leading to a Daniels STO for a nearfall. Komander fought his way to the corner and tagged in Vikingo, who ran wild on both men. Vikingo hit a double-jump Crucifix Bomb for a nearfall broken up by Daniels. We got a Pier Six brawl that ended with a Daniels STO.

Daniels and Sydal hit a powerbomb/meteora combination for a nearfall. Komander hit a plancha on Sydal as Vikingo hit a springboard crossbody on Daniels. Vikingo hit running knees in the corner, then set him up for Komander’s ropewalk 450 splash. Komander dove onto Sydal as Vikingo hit a frog splash for the win.

Winner: El Hijo del Vikingo & Komander via Pinfall.

ROH World Championship
Dalton Castle vs. Eddie Kingston (c)

This was a gritty fight between these two, which while against character for Castle, was a great battle between the two.

Castle stalled for a while before taking Kingston to the mat with a single-leg takedown. Kingston chopped Castle away, but Castle caught Kingston with a back elbow. Castle hit repeated splashes to the stomach before Kingston got his knees up. Castle hit another back elbow to take Kingston down again. Kingston fought off another Castle takedown, kneeing Castle in the gut before hitting a double stomp to the gut for a nearfall.

Castle caught Kingston in the corner with running knees before hitting a Slingblade bulldog for a nearfall. Kingston caught Castle with a boot on a corner charge, but Castle booted Kingston to the apron before Castle kneed him to the floor. Kingston hit a lariat to cut Castle down. Kingston hit the machine gun chops in the corner before sending Castle flying with a T-Bone suplex. Castle feigned going down before hitting a pair of suplexes of his own.

Castle laid in strikes before going for Bangarang, but Kingston hit the Backfist for a nearfall. Kingston pulled Castle up and hit a second Backfist. Castle tried to fire up, but Kingston hit a half-and-half suplex before hitting a third Backfist to score the win.

Winner: Eddie Kingston via Pinfall to retain the ROH World Championship.

After the match, Kingston said that this match was for Mr. Brodie Lee, whom both men were close to.

Backstage: Eddie Kingston

After replays, Eddie Kingston was backstage with Lexy Nair. Kingston was tired, not because of his schedule as champion, but because he saw other World Champions not doing their job. They would get six or seven segments a show, while not raising the tides of the company that they worked for. Guys like him, Orange Cassidy, and Moxley were the tide, and he would be a true champion for the fans of Ring of Honor. I would call that a veiled shot at MJF, but a veil provides some kind of cover.
