Drama in all three title divisions and a great main event ensured that this week’s ROH TV was anything but filler. With the Bullet Club, Naito and Evil all on the show, along with The Addiction and Briscoes, the 50-minute experience was a unique one.
Matches:
Caprice Coleman w/Rhett Titus and Kenny King vs. Dalton Castle w/The Boys: Lots of pandering here as the charismatic Castle worked the crowd. After Titus and King got thrown out for messing with Castle’s Boys, things were evened up, but soon enough, King and Titus were back ringside. After The Boys took King and Titus, Castle nailed Coleman with the Bangarang for the win.
Donovan Dijak w/Prince Nana vs. Manny Lemons: A pure squash as Dijak hit the Feast Your Eyes for the win.
Lio Rush and Jay White vs. IGWP Tag Team Champions Mark and Jay Briscoe:Â There was a ton of spots here from Rush and White, but Mark and Jay were dominant with strikes and counters, making it a unique match with a solid pace. After White got rolling and Rush took out Mark on the outside, Rush and White pushed the Briscoes to their limit. Jay then turned the tables on Rush and Mark nearly won with the Fisherman Buster. After a Jay Death Valley Driver, Mark hit the Froggy Bro, but White broke up the pinfall. After they took out white with the Stereo Elbows, the Briscoes got the win on Rush with the Doomsday Device.
