Four decent matches and little storylines fueled an average episode of ROH that did little to build upon The Bullet Club’s dominance or put over any new talent.
Matches:
The Tempura Boyz: Sho Tanaka and Yohei Komatsu vs. Colt Cabana and Dalton Castle w/The Boys: Lots of funny spots here, but just enough chain wrestling to make it entertaining. The Boyz were solid and worked well with Cabana and Castle, but thanks to a T-Bone Suplex and his Dead Lift German, Castle got the advantage and after a Bangarang, he got the win.
Jon Gresham vs. Kyle O’Reilly: Gresham worked O’Reilly hard and didn’t look out of place with the ROH star. But after a modified Brainbuster, O’Reilly got the win. After the match however, Hangman Page hit the ring and beat on O’Reilly until Bobby Fish made the save. Soon enough, Adam Cole was in the ring and Fish and Cole traded shots until Page entered the ring with a chair and finished off Fish.
Will Ferrara and Cheeseburger vs. BJ Whitmer and Punishment Martinez: An absolute squash and Whitmer destroyed Ferrara with strikes and although Cheeseburger got the hot tag and the team managed some offense including a Tornado DDT and a Flying Knee, Martinez got the win with the Modified Superman Punch, although Whitmer was too kind to perform the pin. After the match, Kevin Sullivan and Steve Corino hit the ring as Martinez destroyed Cheeseburger with Sit-Out Chokeslam.
Tetsuya Naito and Evil vs. The Motor City Machine Guns: Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley: The Guns did everything right here, but Naito got the win with a beautiful Tilt-a-Whirl Reverse DDT.
