Cue the lights, cue the video package, and cue the pyro! We are live for another episode of RoH TV as Shinedown’s Devour blares through the opening video.
Ranallo: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to RoH TV! Mauro Ranallo here, joined as always by my broadcast partner Corey Graves. We are live in the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan New York, and we are only 4 days away from RoH’s first PPV under the Eric Bischoff administration, Death Before Dishonor!
Graves: At Death Before Dishonor we will finally crown our first RoH World Heavyweight Champion, but first we need to get through tonight. Due to last week’s attack, Ricochet and Matt Sydal have issued a challenge to the Kings of Wrestling tonight, and the RoH tag team Champions The Young Bucks are in action as well. We’re heading right to the ring now though, as RoH owner Eric Bischoff has something to say!
The camera switches over to the ring, where RoH owner Eric Bischoff is already standing, waiting for his cue to address the audience.
Bischoff: Last week, Seth Rollins was attacked from behind while preparing to give RoH TV a life interview. After consulting all week with numerous physicians, and getting some of the best medical treatment RoH could afford, Seth Rollins was informed late last night that the injury to his knee is serious enough to have to keep him out of action for the next few weeks, meaning unfortunately, Seth Rollins will not be competing in the Fatal Five-Way match this Sunday at Death Before Dishonor.
The crowd boo’s heavily, chants of Bullshit! and ”We Want Rollins!” break out.
I wish I could tell you otherwise, but it is in Seth Rollins best interest, and the long term interest of RoH to keep in out of action until he is fully healthy. I did however promise you all a Fatal Five-Way match, and I fully intend on keeping that promise, so tonight, in our main event, we are going to have an over the top elimination battle royal with the winner of that match taking the spot of Seth Rollins in the RoH Championship match this Sunday!

Kings of Wrestling vs. Matt Sydal and Ricochet
A brief video is shown before the bell, recapping the events that transpired last week leading up to this match. Matt Sydal is looking a little worse for wear, but has a determined look on his face. During the match, Tommy End was seen coming up to watch the match from the top of the ramp, but his appearance didn’t cause a distraction to anyone except for a brief moment when Matt Sydal was shown on camera taking his eyes off the match to stare over at End, missing a tag attempt from his partner Ricochet. The finish comes after a hot tag to Sydal who comes in the ring attempting to clean house. Sydal is able to take down Hero with a running clothesline, but Cesaro ducts a second clothesline attempt and tosses Sydal in to the air for a Very European Uppercut. With Ricochet still hurting from taking damage before the tag, Cesaro easily pins Sydal and gets the win for the Kings of Wrestling.
Winners: Kings of Wrestling by pinfall (Cesaro – Very European Uppercut)
Matt Sydal is upset with his performance after the match and walks out on his partner as he tries to reassure him on their loss.
Another video package hyping the debut of Moose, but this one ends with a different message, as the final screen reads ”The debut of Moose: This Sunday at Death Before Dishonor”.
MOOSE! MOOSE! MOOSE! MOOSE!
James Ellsworth Contract Opportunity Challenge with The Bronx Bombers
Corey Graves is in the ring with two superstars this week, as he announces tonight will be a tag team match for the dual RoH contracts. The two superstars introduce themselves as Jimmy and Joey Calzone aka The Bronx Bombers from Brooklyn, New York. Corey Graves informs the Bombers that their opponents tonight are a top RoH tag team so the match isn’t going to be…
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR
No tag team, instead Braun Strowman’s music plays as he makes his way down to the ring looking slightly more angry than usual. As Strowman gets in to the ring, Graves informs him that James Ellsworth had chosen The Guerrillas of Destiny for this tag match, but decides to get out of Strowman’s way when Braun just stares a hole through him. The referee has no choice but to ring the bell, and both Calzone brothers rush Strowman on both sides. Strowman pushes his arms put with such force, it sends The Bronx Bombers flying backwards. He then pick up Joey and tosses him in to the corner before charging in and hitting Joey with an elbow to the side of the head. Strowman then pics up Jimmy and tosses him in to Joey before splashing the two of them together in the corner. Strowman then grabs Jimmy and hits the Running Powerslam before doing the same to Joey as well. Strowman bellows out ”This for you Ellsworth!” before picking Jimmy back up and choking the life out of him with a Bear Hug. The referee calls for the bell, but Strowman refuses to release the hold. Multiple backstage officials and referees come running out to the ring, but none of them can get Strowman to stop. After what seems like minutes, Strowman drops the lifeless body of Jimmy Calzone down to the mat and pushes his way past the RoH officials who try to walk him to the back, but are also too afraid to get near him.
Winner: Braun Strowman by stoppage (Bear Hug)

When we return from commercial, RoH Tag Team Champions, The Young Bucks are in the ring. ”Once again, the champions are here on free tv, but the Hardys are not. Are you surprised?” Their comments get a mixed reaction from the crowd who have always has a soft spot for the Buck even though they have been heels throughout the majority of their careers. Nick Jackson informs that crowd that once again, they have decided to defend their titles here on free tv. Matt says they looked far and wide, and tonight’s opponents are former tag team champions themselves. The Bucks then introduce their opponents for tonight’s match, Kenny Doan and Mikey Mondo, The Spirit Squad !
The Young Bucks vs. The Spirit Squad
RoH Tag Team Championship
Another showcase for the RoH Champions who are really trying to push the fact that they show up every week, while The Hardys only appears in video segments. The Bucks wrestle a fast paced match both inside and outside the ring, with The Spirit Squad working more of a heel role in this match the crowd was really starting to get behind The Bucks. The finish came after stereo Superkicks to both Mikey and Kenny, followed by a double pin for the 1,2,3! And the 4,5,6!
Winners: The Young Bucks by pinfall. (Superkick Party)
Just like last week, The Young Bucks begin to celebrate like they had just won for the first time in their careers. Matt Jackson takes a microphone and begins to lay in to The Hardys for never showing up. Matt tells the crowd that Sunday will be their easiest victory yet, as they have defend their titles two against top team in wrestling while Matt and Jeff sit around at home. Suddenly, the lights go out.
When they return, The Young Bucks are standing face to face with Matt and Jeff Hardy in the middle of the ring. Startled, The Bucks take a step back, but then quickly turn back in to their cocky selves. The Bucks raise their tag titles high in to the air while The Hardy Boyz lead the Broken Universe in a very loud “DELETE” chant as we slowly fade out to our last commercial break of the evening.
DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!

Things start to look bleak for Roode, as Big E gets him halfway over the ropes, but Roode is saved by Chris Hero who starts beating on Big E from behind.

Chris Hero uses that momentum to guide Big E over the top rope, eliminating the final New Day member.

As the two superstars go to fight other opponents, Strong who hasn’t gone to the back yet grabs Scurll’s foot. Scurll turns around trying to kick Roddy’s hand off his leg. Seeing an opportunity, Mike Bennett tosses Scurll over the top rope, thus ending their very quick truce.

Scurll is enraged, he sucker punches Strong who then charges back at Scurll. As referees try to force the two rivals to the back, we go back in to the ring where Roode is trying to eliminate Tommy Dreamer, and Okada is working on Pete Dunne. Noticing the ring has emptied quite a bit, Roode turns his head to see Okada in a vulnerable position. At the same time, Okada does the same and the two superstars meet in the center of the ring where the both begin to trades punches. Okada picks Roode up for a Rainmaker, but Roode slips away. An attempt at a Roode Awakening is thwarted when Okada pushes Roode back. The two continue to go out it as the rest of the superstars have started to gather and watch the brawl.

4 of the final 5 superstars in the ring all decided to try and eliminate Strowman again, but to no avail. As things started to look bleak for the other stars, James Ellsworth comes out to the stage with a microphone in his hand. Ellsworth yells for that he’s removing Strowman from the match due to his actions earlier. Ellsworth demands Strowman get out of the ring, but Strowman refuses. This distraction proves to be beneficial for the rest of the superstars in the ring though, as Chris Hero and Tommy Dreamer each grab one of Strowman’s legs and send the big man over the top rope, crashing to the floor below.
Braun Strowman has been eliminated!
Strowman can’t believe it! He is complete beside himself. The referees all surround Strowman trying to force him to the back, but Strowman pushes them away.

Strowman than tosses Dreamer out of the ring and goes out after him. Strowman pick up Dreamer and slams him down on the steel steps before tossing him head first in to the barricade.

Mike Bennett and Zack Sabre, Jr. are your final 2. Bennett using his slightly larger size controls the momentum of the match, wearing down ZSJ. He tosses Sabre over the top rope, but Sabre is able to hold on, his feet just dangling above the floor. Smart enough not to start celebrating yet, Bennett turns over to see Sabre hanging there.

TIME TO PLAY THE GAME
Ranallo: What? Triple H?!
Graves: The match was announced as a 20-Man Battle Royal Mauro. By my count there were only 19 superstars in that ring, Triple H must be number 20!
Triple H gets in to the ring and is met by an overzealous Sabre. Zack throws punches at The Game, but Triple H lands a perfectly timed knee to the gut and level Sabre with a Pedigree. The Game then picks up Sabre and tosses him over the top rope.
Zack Sabre, Jr. has been eliminated!
Winner: Triple H
Triple H waited for his moment and he took it. The Game celebrates in the middle of the ring. He now has Seth Rollins’ spot in Sunday’s Fatal Five-Way. The crowd boo’s loudly, they were happy with Sabre being the winner and putting everything together it make sense that Triple H may very well have been the person to attack Seth Rollins last week.
Speaking of Rollins, he’s here! Rollins limps down to the ring followed by countless members of the RoH locker room trying to stop him from heading to the ring. Triple H looks over, surprised to see Rollins as Seth roll himself in to the ring against the RoH official’s orders. Triple H stands there, not wanting to lay a finger on the injured Rollins, but Seth seems to have other plans in mind. Rollins gets right in to Triple H’s face screaming ”I know it was you Hunter, I know you did it!” but Triple H says he has no idea what Seth is talking about. The Game continues to maintain his innocence, but Rollins has heard enough talking and attacks Triple H. Rollins backs Triple H in to the corner and starts to hit him with lefts and right as The Game tried to defend himself as best he can. Before things can get any more heated, RoH security enter the ring and pull Rollins away from Triple H. Rollins continues to scream ”I know it was you!” at Triple H, but The Game continues to deny being any part of it as we slowly fade out with many new questions left to be answered this Sunday.
