Although the tag team heavy card made it feel like it was booked by Teddy Long, this week’s ROH continued to play off the depth on the roster.
Check out this week’s ROH TV Power Rankings to see if The Addiction was able to fend off the Young Bucks and hold on the ROH Tag Team titles.
Honorable Mention: Punisher Martinez: BJ Whitmer’s new protege, it’s hard to not be impressed by Martinez’s speed and power in the ring.
5: Shane Taylor and Keith Lee: Wins over War Machine aren’t commonplace, so the ROH Tag Team Division should take notice. These guys want the gold.
4: The Cabinet: Their win over Dalton Castle and The Boys was expected, but with election season not garnering as many headlines as of late, The Cabinet has to find more ways to stay pertinent in ROH.
3: The Young Bucks: They did everything right, but still couldn’t bring home the ROH Tag Team titles. Is this feud over? Will The Bucks now focus on the Motor City Machine Guns? Either way, the Tag Team Division in ROH is deep as hell.
2: The Addiction: Their win over The Young Bucks this week on ROH TV proves that not all of ROH will be a victim to the Bullet Club. At the same time, the duo was lucky in the fact that The Motor City Machine Guns screwed themselves in the process, inadvertently handing the titles back to the team they hate and started a feud with The Bullet Club on top of it.
1: Adam Cole: It appears Cole will have to deal with Kyle O’Reilly first before Jay Lethal gets his rematch, but either way, Cole shakes up ROH in a major way.
