Cue the lights, cue the pyro! We are live for Night #2 of RoH’s 2nd ever PPV, All-Star Extravaganza! The camera pans around the sold out arena, showing the crowd going absolutely crazy, anticipating the finale of this weekend’s events.
Ranallo: Ladies and gentlemen, we are live in the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and we’ve got ourselves at packed house tonight! Mauro Ranallo here joined as always by my broadcast partner Corey Graves.
Graves: Night #2! Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Finn Balor for the RoH World Heavyweight Championship! The moment is finally here!
Ranallo: That’s not all Corey, we’ve got Triple H and Seth Rollins taking on The Kings of Wrestling in what is going to be a very interesting match following last night’s events!
Graves: Well Cesaro was too concussed to even know where he was last night, so we’ll have to see how he is during tonight’s match, but the big story is how Triple H and Seth Rollins will coincide as a team especially after that snake Seth Rollins eliminated Triple H in last Night’s All-Star Battle Royal match!
Ranallo: Speaking off that match, we’ll hear from Dean Ambrose tonight who, along with Bobby Roode, were the soul survivors in that match!
Graves: How can we not mention the biggest match of the night, James Ellsworth finally makes his final RoH appearance! Eric Bischoff said if he doesn’t wrestle Braun Strowman tonight he’s going to be fired! This means Bischoff will either fire Ellsworth, or Strowman will destroy him, this is great!
D-Von Dudley vs. Kyle O’Reilly
Partners Banned from Ringside
The referee tries to remove Bubba Ray from ringside as per the rules of this match, but Bubba is not willing to listen to a word he is saying, and stays on the outside. After numerous failed attempts to remove Bubba Ray, the referee is told by O’Reilly to just ring the bell as he makes it clear he isn’t going to be intimidated by Bubba’s presence during this match.
Ranallo: Kyle O’Reilly has given the referee the go ahead to start this match even with Bubba Ray refusing to head to the back. As you may have noticed, Bobby Fish is not here tonight, he suffered a Grade A concussion during his match last night with Bubba Ray and spent the night at Philadelphia General.
Graves: It could be a while before Bobby Fish is able to compete in a RoH ring, if ever. Too many of those were the cause of my career ending Mauro, so my thoughts are with Bobby Fish at this time.
O’Reilly and D-Von put on a solid opening card match up with slightly more action than Bubba Ray and Bubby Fish’s match did the night before. D-Von gets quite a bit of offense in on O’Reilly as Bubba Ray proves to be a major distraction almost every time O’Reilly looked to have taken control of the match. The finish comes after O’Reilly had locked D-Von in an ankle lock, but Bubba Ray jumps up on the apron to distract the referee. Having had enough of Bubba, O’Reilly grabs him and before he can do anything, sees D-Von coming from the corner of his eye and moves, causing D-Von to knock Bubba Ray off the apron. O’Reilly quickly seizes that opportunity to lock D-Von in the ARMageddon causing D-Von to tap out rather quickly.
Winner: Kyle O’Reilly by submission.
O’Reilly barely gets a chance to celebrate though as Bubba Ray attacks him from behind the moment the referee raises his hand, and continues to beat on O’Reilly as D-Von joins in on the attack as well. O’Reilly tries desperately to fend off his attackers, but it is no use as he quickly falls victim to Bubba Ray and D-Von’s assault. With O’Reilly barely able to fight back, Bubba tosses him against the ropes and The Dudley Boyz plant him down with a 3D.
Ranallo: A 3D by The Dudley Boyz, that’s enough! O’Reilly is defenseless and his partner isn’t even here to help him.
Graves: Dangers of the job Mauro.
Bubba and D-Von begin to exit the ring when suddenly Bubba stops. He surveys the damage in the ring as a sadistic look forms on his face. Bubba then turn’s to D-Von and shoves him.
Bubba Ray: D-Von, GET THE TABLES!
D-Von slides out of the ring and rather quickly returns with a table. He and Bubba set the table up as O’Reilly can be seen slowly starting to stir. It doesn’t matter though as The Dudley Boyz picks O’Reilly up and 3D him through the table.
{We head backstage to the parking lot where a black limo pulls in to the arena. As it stops, the door opens but we don’t see who is getting out.}
Best of 7 Series: Match #4
Zack Sabre, Jr. vs. Pete Dunne
(Dunne Leads Series 2-1)
Dunne attacks Sabre from behind as he’s walking down the ramp and tosses him shoulder first in to the barricade. Dunne leans over Sabre and begins to hammer down with hard right hands as Sabre is too dazed to properly defend himself. After a couple more shots, Dunne tosses Sabre down the ramp, before running and punting him in the stomach. Dunne then tosses Sabre in to the steel steps, and proceeds to smash his face off the ring steps before rolling him in to the ring and shouting that the referee start the match.
Ranallo: Pete Dunne looking to put a stranglehold this series with a win tonight, and he’s going to stop at nothing to make sure it happens!
Reluctantly, the referee calls for the bell and Dunne simply covers Sabre.
1………………………
2………………………
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sabre’s resiliency is in full effect as he manages to get a shoulder up at the last second. This of course enrages the Bruiserweight who begins to stomp on Sabre’s body. Dunne pulls Sabre up to his knees and slaps him in the face, he then slaps him again, and again, and again! On the 5th slap, Sabre ducks and grabs Dunne’s leg, taking him down and spinning in to a single legged crab, but Dunne is able to get to the ropes before too much pressure could be applied with the hold. From here on out a damaged, but fired up Sabre begins to put the fear in Dunne with multiple submission holds and an incredible display of technical wrestling that has Dunne struggling to muster any offense, eventually causing Dunne to have to retreat out of the ring to get away from Sabres’ offensive onslaught.
Ranallo: Pete Dunne is going to regret attacking Sabre to start off this match. Zack Sabre, Jr. is looking like a man on fire out here tonight!
Graves: He’s still hurt from that attack Mauro. Pete Dunne has had his number all month, that second wind if going to run out sooner or later!
Sabre rolls out of the ring after Dunne, but Pete Dunne quickly slides back in, maintaining a safe distance from Zack Sabre, Jr. As Sabre gets back in to the ring, he is attacked by Dunne, who tries to capitalize on Sabre’s vulnerability and get some more offense in. Sabre however is able to fight off Dunne, and battles his way back in to the ring. Sabre tosses Dunne against the ropes, as Dunne comes springing back, Sabre ducks and Dunne accidentally collides with the referee. Startled, Dunne freezes for a moment to take in what just happened, but Sabre, unaware of the referee’s collision wrestles Dunne to the ground and applies his Jim Breaks Armbreaker.
Ranallo: Jim Breaks! Sabre has Dunne locked in the Jim Breaks Armbreaker with nowhere to go!
Graves: The referee is down Mauro, do you not remember what literally just happened?
Sabre cranks the hold as Dunne screams out in pain, having no choice but to tap out! Sabre leaps off Dunne and begins to celebrate his victory when he finally see’s the referee laying on the floor outside, having rolled to the floor after colliding with Dunne. Sabre quickly rolls out to the floor and begins to shake the referee, trying to bring him back to consciousness to which he eventually succeeds. Sabre then helps roll the referee in to the ring, and goes back over to Dunne, who is still on the ground holding his arm. It turns out Dunne was playing possum though, and clips Sabre in the temple with a hard right that completely flattens him. The camera focuses on Dunne’s hand to see he had put on a pair of brass knuckles. Dunne tosses the brass knuckles out of the ring and pulls Sabre to his feet, planting him with a Bitter End and covering him for a slow 3 count to take a huge 3-1 series lead over Sabre.
Winner: Pete Dunne by pinfall. (Dunne leads the series 3-1)
{We get a quick promo video hyping Brock Lesnar’s return to RoH programing at next month’s PPV War of the Worlds}
I’M BACK!
AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Graves: Here comes Easy E!
Ranallo: The ever involved owner of Ring of Honor, Eric Bischoff is coming out here to address the RoH audience for the first time in this weekend’s historic 2-night PPV!
Bischoff: To say I am proud is an understatement. To see what this company that I bought for mere cents on the dollar has blossomed in to after only 2 short months is astounding! Ratings have been sky high since we debuted our first episode of RoH TV, and I’m proud to announce both tonight and last night, we sold out the arena! Those of you who know me from my previous ventures know that I love 2 things, controversy and cash! Well tonight, I haven’t come out here to create controversy, I’ve come out here to create some growth! Now I can’t take all the credit for this growth, as there is one person in particular who has done a tremendous job this month of securing our biggest pay day yet for this company! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back, Nigel McGuinness!
Ranallo: it’s Nigel McGuinness Corey!
Graves: He’s alive! Hallelujah! I thought I was going to be stuck here with you for ever!
McGuinness: The last time you saw me here at RoH was exactly 1 month ago at our very first PPV Death Before Dishonor! Since then I’ve been away from Ring of Honor on very important business, which is what brings me here tonight! You see, next month on Saturday August 25th, 2017 Ring of Honor presents War of the Worlds! At War of Worlds we already know that our main event we see the winner of tonight’s RoH World Heavyweight Championship match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura take on Brock Lesnar in what will be a can’t miss match up! We made history last month when we presented our first PPV, and we made history this weekend by presenting our first 2-night PPV. It pleases me to announce that we will be making history again when we broadcast War of the Worlds live from the O2 Arena in London England! That is not all though, you see following tonight’s broadcast the entire RoH roster will board a charter flight to London as we will broadcast every episode of RoH TV leading up to War of the Worlds from London as well!
Ranallo: What a major announcement!
Graves: We’re going to London Mauro!
{A PPV graphic appears on the screen as the crowd roars, officially completing the announcement that next month’s PPV will now be known as War of the Worlds: UK!}
Braun Strowman vs. James Ellsworth
Ranallo: Here comes our General Manager, James Ellsworth making his in ring debut tonight against Braun Strowman!
Graves: I’ve been waiting all weekend for this match Mauro!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR
Graves: Here we go Mauro, the end of the James Ellsworth era in RoH, finally!
The bell rings and Ellsworth rolls out of the ring as quickly as possible, retreating over to the timekeeper’s booth to grab a microphone.
Ellsworth: Braun, wait a minute! Hold on just a minute Braun, I’ve got a proposition for you! I’m sure you know that Eric Bischoff threatened to fire me if I refused to wrestle this match, but he didn’t say anything about you refusing to fight! Braun, if you turn around and head back to the locker room I promise I’ll give you a shot at the RoH World Heavyweight Championship! Better yet, you can have the title, I’ll just give it to you right now! Hell, I’ll give you every title we have, I’ll even make new titles for you, what do you 7, 8 championships?
Strowman shakes his head no and slowly begins to walk towards Ellsworth.
Ellsworth: Okay ummmm….how about this? Last night I went out and I found some of the best superstars the world has to offer, all of these superstars want to fight you Braun, some even think they can beat you. You’ve said you wanted competition, well I found it for you and I found a lot of it! Anyone you want Braun, just name it and you can have the match, anyone!
Strowman pauses for a moment to think, but it’s only a game for him as he points towards Ellsworth and yells out ”You! Ellsworth!” before continuing to walk slowly towards the trembling General Manager. Ellsworth having no real line of defense against Strowman tries to catch Braun by surprise by throwing the microphone at him, but it just bounces off his chest and lands on the mat with a loud thud. Strowman looks down at the microphone, then looks back over to Ellsworth, he’s pissed now.
Ranallo: That wasn’t smart.
Graves: Hurry up and squash him like a bug Braun, I can’t wait any longer!
Strowman finally reaches Ellsworth, who is now cowering in the corner, holding on to the turnbuckle for dear life. Strowman easily grabs him and yanks him off of the turnbuckle, pulling him to his feet he rips Ellsworth’s shirt right off with one hand and tosses it out of the ring. Ellsworth continues to plead with Strowman for mercy, but Braun wants no part of it as he grabs Ellsworth by the throat. Just then, the lights in the arena go out.
Ranallo: The lights have just gone out in the arena! I apologize for the technical difficulties folks!
Graves: No not now, come on!
Just then white strobe lights begins to flicker around the arena, followed by a darkened red light shining at the top of the stage as a an era new age rock sound begins to play from the arena speakers.
Ranallo: Wait a minute! It looks like it wasn’t technical difficulties at all!
Graves: What’s going on Mauro?
Ranallo: Oh my!
Graves: Is that Pentagon, Jr? I can’t believe it!
Strowman turns his attention to the entrance ramp as Pentagon, Jr. makes his way down the ramp for the first time since being drafted by Ring of Honor. Pentagon gets in the ring and shows no fear walking right up to Braun Strowman. Strowman stands half a foot taller than Pentagon, but what The Mexican assassin lacks in size, he easily makes up for in strength. Strowman asks Pentagon if he is looking for a fight, to which Penta nods his head yes. Strowman throws a punch at Pentagon, but Penta manages to grab Strowman’s arm and quickly takes him to the ground much to the crowd’s surprise. With Pentagon having Strowman’s arm in both of his hands, and his foot on Strowman’s head, Pentagon, Jr. falls backwards, snapping Strowman’ arm the in the wrong direction as Braun lets out a thunderous roar in pain.
Ranallo: Oh my god!
Graves: That move is called The Sacrifice! It’s one of the reason’s Pentagon, Jr. has grown to be so feared in Mexico!
Ranallo: He may have just broken Strowman’s arm!
Strowman rolls out of the ring in pure agony, holding his arm he slowly retreats up the ramp as Pentagon, Jr. stands tall in the middle of the ring. Pentagon, Jr. has clearly gotten the upper hand in this first encounter, but has Braun Strowman finally found a man who could be a worth challenger?
Winner: No Contest.
{We head backstage to Colt Cabana}
Colt Cabana: Ladies and gentlemen of Ring of Honor, it’s time to get the inside scoop with Colt Cabana! My guests at this time, recent Ring of Honor addition, Dean Ambrose! Dean, last night you and Bobby Roode were the final two men left standing, winning the first ever All-Star Extravaganzia match, how do you feel after winning that match? Have you put any thought in to what’s next for you?
Ambrose: What’s next, what’s next? For me? Well I mean I did technically beat the Ring of Honor Champion before my own PARTNER throw me out of the ring to make the pin, so I’d be a little…crazy, if I didn’t say I’m going to throw my hat in the ring for a shot at the RoH World Heavyweight Champioship, maybe even this Wednesday.
Colt Cabana: Speaking off this Wednesday, Mike Bennett has already informed Eric Bischoff that if he doesn’t get a title shot himself by this Wednesday, he’s officially walking out of Ring of Honor. Do you think Bennett’s demands are going to be an issue for you in trying to get your title shot?
Ambrose: Nah, not really. I mean, if I have to fight Mike Bennett to get myself a shot at the RoH World Championship I’ve got no problem doing so. Hell, all the more interesting, if he wants to agree to making the match a triple threat, I’ll beat him and Nakamura at the same time.
Colt Cabana: Judging by your previous statement, I take it you’re pretty certain Shinsuke Nakamura will retain the RoH Championship tonight?
Ambrose: Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, it really doesn’t matter. All that matters is that I…..
Just then, Ambrose is attacked by behind from Bobby Roode who had appeared out of nowhere! Roode grabs Ambrose’s head and tosses him in to the lighting area behind Cabana as the two begin to brawl with each other, needing to be separated by RoH officials who quickly rush to the scene to split the two superstars apart before things get a chance to escalate any further.
Seth Rollins & Triple H vs. The Kings of Wrestling
Seth Rollins starts the match with Chris Hero which makes the most sense after last night’s dust up between the two. Rollins with a headlock, but Hero muscles out and sends Rollins towards the ropes. Hero goes for a shoulder block, but Rollins catches him with a diving blockbuster to counter it, sending Hero down to the mat hard. Rollins with another headlock on Hero this time on the mat, but Hero rolls out and hooks the ankle of Rollins. Rollins though, pulls himself to his feet and connect with an enziguiri that drops Hero to the mat hard. Rollins tags out to Triple H who comes in and starts to hammer down with solid right hands to the head of Chris Hero, being forced to break before the referee’s 5 count for using a closed fist. Hard stomps to the body of Hero as he tries to roll away from The Game, but he isn’t able to escape. Triple H tosses Hero in to the corner and delivers a hard running clothesline before tagging Rollins back in to the match.
Ranallo: They may not have the best relationship, but some excellent teamwork here earlier on in this match between Triple H and Seth Rollins!
Graves: Don’t get too ahead of yourself Mauro, it’s still early and these guys have a lot to hate each other for. Don’t think Triple H forgot about Rollins eliminating him last night!
Rollins delivers 3 hard right hands while Hero is still in the corner before dragging him out to the middle of the ring for a snap suplex that Rollins quickly transitions to a head scissors, squeezing on the head and neck of Chris Hero who really needs to make a tag. Rollins releases the hold and pulls Hero to his feet, but Hero quickly reacts with a thumb to the eye of Rollins. The referee rushes over to scold Hero for his illegal maneuver, but Hero simply pushes passed him and tags out to Cesaro, who is looking a lot more conscious then he was last night. Cesaro runs in and clutches Rollins, taking him down with a belly-to-belly suplex. Cesaro then shows some real power by keeping his grip around Rollin’s waist, and pulling him back up to his feet before sending him back down to the mat with a Bulldog. Cesaro motions to the crowd it’s time for the Cesaro Swing, but winds up being distracted by Triple H who exchanges words with his opponent on the apron. Cesaro heads over to knock Triple H off the apron, but The Game grabs him, and drops Cesaro’s neck on the ropes, choking him as he stumbles back in to an Avada Kedavra from Seth Rollins.
Ranallo: Avada Kedavra by Seth Rollins!
Graves: Thanks to Triple H! Rollins would have been swinging in circles until he puked if it wasn’t for The Game!
Rollins covers Cesaro, but Cesaro gets a shoulder up at 2. Rollins heads towards his corner to make another tag, but is tripped by Cesaro who grabs his leg, wrestling him to the ground. Cesaro then quickly gets up and knocks Triple H off the apron before driving his elbow in to the spine of Seth Rollins. Rollins rolls over in pain as Cesaro looks around at the booing crowd before signaling a second time for the Cesaro Swing. This time however, with Triple H knocked off the apron, Cesaro manages to successfully pull off the maneuver, swinging Rollins around and around.
Ranallo: Rollins is trapped in the Big Swing!
Graves: Round and round Seth Rollins goes, where he stops, nobody knows!
Cesaro continues to swing Rollins around until the move is finally stopped by Triple H who slides in to the ring and catches Cesaro with a perfectly times high knee to the face. The Game isn’t allowed any more offense though as the referee quickly forces him back out of the ring. Dizzy and in pain, Cesaro begins to crawl to his corner as Seth Rollins tries to do the same. Cesaro makes the tag to Chris Hero who comes running in to the ring and grabs Rollins before he is able to tag Triple H, dragging him to the middle of the ring as the crowd showers him with boos. Hero locks Rollins in a modified Indian Deathlock as Rollins screams out in pain. With nowhere to go, things are looking bleak for Seth Rollins, who is trapped in the middle of the ring. Reaching back behind him, Rollins is just able to grab a hold of Hero’s jaw, trying to pull it out of place in order to get Hero to loosen up the hold, Hero sees no other option than to bite Rollins’ fingers, which ends up being the wrong decision as the referee forces Hero to release the hold after the illegal maneuver.
Ranallo: Chris Hero just bit Seth Rollins!
Graves: With nowhere to go he was so close to tapping out too Mauro, what a mistake by Chris Hero, let’s just hope this doesn’t cost him later on!
While Hero is stuck dealing with the referee, Rollins begins slowly making his way over to the corner. Hero sees this and tries to prevent Rollins from reaching Triple H, but isn’t able to get the referee out of his way in time as Rollins finally tags out to Triple H! The Game comes running in to the ring, he charges at Hero, backing him up in to the corner and hammering down with rights and lefts, taking a second to knock Cesaro off the apron with a hard right hand as payback from earlier before focusing back on Hero. The Game tosses Hero off the ropes and plants him down hard with a Spinebuster.
The Game gets the crowd fired up, screaming for a Pedigree when suddenly the referee jumps in and begins trying to force Triple H back to his corner.
Ranallo: What the hell is the referee doing?
Graves: He didn’t see the tag Mauro! The referee was too busy dealing with Chris Hero for biting Rollins that he never saw Triple H make the tag!
Arguing with the referee proves to do no good, as Triple H is forced out of the ring, and Rollins made to return to action. Hero goes to tag out to Cesaro before realising the Cesaro had been knocked off the apron, and instead rolls out of the ring to catch his breathe. This allows an annoyed Seth Rollins to make a tag to Triple H again, bringing the came back in to the ring as both superstars make it a point to make sure the referee couldn’t miss this tag. Triple H rolls out of the ring to grab Chris Hero, but meets a hard clothesline from Cesaro instead, knocking him down on the floor as the Kings of Wrestling begin to put the boots to Triple H on the outside, ignoring the referee’s start of a 10 count. Seeing his partner in trouble, Rollins gets in to the ring, charging towards the ropes and launching himself over the top and on to both Cesaro and Chris Hero on the floor.
Ranallo: Rollins with a dive on to the outside to save his partner!
Graves: I can’t believe these two are still working well as a team!
With all 4 men down on the outside, the referee begins a 10 count, but that is broken up as Triple H is able to get to his feet and roll Chris Hero in to the ring as well. Triple H pulls Hero in for a Pedigree, but Hero is able to flip Triple H over top of him instead. Hero struggles to pull himself up to his feet, hoping to make a tag, he sees Cesaro and Rollins still haven’t got themselves back to their respective corners yet. Hero turns is attention back over to Triple H, stomping him in order to keep The Game down which is simply buying time for Cesaro to get back to his corner. As Rollins pulls himself back up to the apron, Cesaro slowly does the same. Hero goes for a tag, but Triple H springs to life! He kicks Hero in the stomach and Pedigrees him before collapsing on top of Hero for the cover.
Ranallo: Pedigree! Out of nowhere!
Graves: I can’t believe it!
1…………………………
2………………………………..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Cesaro dives in the ring, breaking up the pin at the last second, before rolling back out of the ring, obviously still not 100% recovered from Rollins’ suicide dive only moment earlier. Triple H crawls to tag in Rollins, but Hero grabs his leg, trying to use his weight to slow Triple H down, Hero crawl on to Triple H’s back and puts him in a Crossface, but The Game is able to roll out of it and DDT Hero as they both got back to their feet. Rollins stick his arm out yelling for a tag, as Triple H grabs Hero by the hair and begins to drag him over to The Game’s corner. Triple H reaches out to make the tag, but before it can connect, Hero pushes The Game who stumbles forward with such momentum, he smashes heads with Rollins, knocking him off the apron. Triple H rebound off the ropes and turns towards Chris Hero who levels him with a Discus Clothesline and collapses himself on top of The Game as the referee counts.

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DING! DING! DING!
Ranallo: The Kings of Wrestling have done it!
Graves: It didn’t matter how well Triple H and Seth Rollins managed to work as a team, a real tag team like Chris Hero and Cesaro were able to overcome all odds, and pull out their biggest win since coming to RoH!
The Kings of Wrestling stumble up the ramp celebrating their major victory over two of RoH’s top stars while Triple H and Seth Rollins begins to exchange words with each other over The Game accidentally knocking Rollins off the ring apron which essentially cost them the match.
Winners: The Kings of Wrestling by pinfall.

Voice: At one time I called this place home….
{The house has not been kept well as the walls are peeling, the furniture is turned over and there is junk all over the counter tops meaning someone either left in a hurry, or this place has been used by squatters recently.}

{The man pulls out a cigar and lights it as he begins to walk back to the front door of the cabin.}

Team Roddy vs. The Bullet Club
The Bullet Club quickly enter the ring and surround Strong and Dreamer who appear to be alone as no third teammate has come down to join them. Laughing, Scurll instructs the G.O.Ds to attack on his command as the 3 members of the Bullet Club ready their attack.
Ranallo: Roderick Strong and Tommy Dreamer appear to be on their own here!
Graves: Couldn’t find a partner huh? That’s because the RoH locker room knows better than to mess with The Bullet Club!
Just then……..
Ranallo: Think again Graves, it’s Tommy End!
Graves: What? We haven’t seen Tommy End in weeks, how the hell did they convince him to come help them?
End heads in to the ring to even the odds as the match begins. It’s your basic 6-man tag with Tommy Dreamer playing the role of damsel in distress for most of the match, taking beating from all 3 members of The Bullet Club as they isolate him from his team. End gets himself in to the ring and cleans house with the hot tag, but its Roderick Strong who gets the last laugh, pinning his own rival Marty Scurll to pick up the win for his team after End backs Scurll right up in to a Death by Roderick. Strong now carries the momentum of this feud thanks in large part to Tommy End who almost guaranteed Strong another title shot with this victory.
Winners: Team Roddy by pinfall.
Finn Balor vs. Shinsuke Nakamura ©
RoH World Heavyweight Championship
With this being a title match, we’ve got the Demon out tonight instead of regular Finn Balor much to the delight of the crowd who have waited for this match. Nakamura and Balor start off in the centre of the ring, shaking hands and bowing to each other as an ode to their longstanding rivalry back in New Japan. We start off at a quick pace as Balor and Nakamura lock up. Balor grabs Nakmura’s arm and twists it, allowing himself to get behind Shinsuke where he grabs him by the waist, only to transition in to a front face lock, taking the champion down to the ground. Nakamura gets to his feet quickly and ties up with Balor once more, again Balor is able to hook a front facelock, but this time it’s Nakamura getting the advantage as he grabs Balor’s waits and picks him up, slamming him to the floor to break the hold, but nothing further as the champion waits for Balor to get back to his feet. Balor comes in to grab Nakamura but takes a high knee right to the chest, stopping him in his tracks. Nakamura tosses Balor towards the ropes, but Balor grabs a hold of the ropes to stop him from rebounding in to an attack by Shinsuke. Nakamura comes forward as Balor goes to attack, and grabs Balor by the waist, pushing him back against the ropes where Nakamura taunts Balor by stalling with his head pushed up against Balor’s chest and his arms dangling loosely. Balor responds to this by grabbing Nakamura and putting him against the ropes where he ”Too Sweet” taunts Nakamura right off the top of his head. This is met by a roar from the crowd and a laugh between both competitors.
Ranallo: There’s no denying these two are about to have a great match tonight!
Graves: The only thing that makes a match like this even better is when the two opponents are really enjoying what they’re doing in the ring. This match has the makings to be one of the greatest in history!
Nakamura grabs Balor by the head and takes him down before going for a side kick, but Balor quickly rolls out of the way and catches Nakamura with a quick 1-2 kick/punch combination before running off the ropes and catching Shinsuke with a double kick to the side. Balor jumps down for a double knee strike, but Nakamura moves. Both me quickly get to their feet. Balor tries to whip Nakamura in to corner, but Shinsuke reverses it and tosses Balor over the ropes. Balor grabs on to the ropes and holds himself on the apron as Shinsuke comes charging over. A punch by Shinsuke is blocked by Balor. Balor throws a punch of his own, blocked. He tries a high kick, but that is blocked too as Nakamura counters with a high kick of his own, catching Balor flush on the side of the head and dropping him down on the mat. Balor rolls in to the ring, and slowly crawls over to the corner, where Nakamura meets him with a running knee strike. Nakamura then begins to choke Balor with his boot while in the corner, taking almost all of the referee’s 5 count before breaking the hold. Balor rolls out of the corner, but Nakamura is right on his tail, dropping a double knee drop to the face of Balor.
Ranallo: Nakamura showing a real mean streak tonight!
Graves: The champion has to do what it takes to retain his title Mauro!
Nakamura pins Balor, but Finn kicks up rather quickly. Shinsuke then pulls Balor to his feet and tosses him against the ropes again. Nakamura charges at Balor, but Balor drops back and catches Shinsuke with a double legged dropkick right to his knee, sending the champion crashing down on the mat in pain. Balor, knowing he needs to be aggressive himself, begins to work over the knee of Nakamura. Balor tosses Shinsuke in to the corner and charges in. Nakamura gets a boot up, but Balor saw it coming and stops short. He grabs Shinsuke by the leg and throws a high kick to the knee before bending Nakamura’s foot back, trapping it in the bottom rope and jumping on it. Nakamura hits the mat screaming in pure agony as Balor heads up top. Seeing his chance, Balor launches himself off the top rope and down on to Nakamura with the Coup de Grace.
Ranallo: Coup de Grace! Do we have a new champion?!
Graves: The Demon era in RoH is about to begin!

Nakamura just manages to get a shoulder up in time as Balor was so close to becoming the new RoH Champion. Balor pulls Nakamura to his feet and tosses him back in to the corner. He then charges at Nakamura with his signature corner dropkick, but Nakamura moves causing Balor to crotch himself off the ring post. Nakamura is quick to attack the defenseless Balor and he stops down on the torso of Balor who has essentially trapped himself in a modified tree of woe. Nakamura continues to punish Balor until the referee steps in forcing a break so that Balor can get himself out of the corner. The moment Balor is able to get himself up to his feet, Nakamura comes charging in again and connects with an elbow to the side of Balor’s head. Nakamura goes for a DDT, but is able to reverse out of it and plants Nakamura with the 1916.
Ranallo: 1916! This can only mean one thing, Balor is going to attempt to put Nakamura away again!
Graves: This match has been crazy! What a back and forth contest!
Balor heads up top, lining Nakamura up perfectly before jumping off the top rope for a second Coup de Grace, but Nakamura moves! Balor crashes to the mat hard as Nakamura charges to the corner and climbs the middle rope. Nakamura waits for Balor to get back to his feet and connects with a flying Kinshasa!
Graves: Kinshasa!
Ranallo: Nakamura with a Kinshasa off the top rope, but why isn’t he pinning Balor?
Nakamura decides against covering Balor, knowing his rival long enough to realise it’s going to take more than one Kinshasa to beat the Demon, Nakamura lines himself up in position for another Kinshasa as he waits for Balor to get to his feet. The crowd is going crazy, hyping up the pause in action while maintaining the momentum of the match as Balor slowly begins to rise to his feet.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Graves: KINSHASA!
Ranallo: Nakamura with another Kinshasa! He goes for the pin!

Graves: What a match!
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura by pinfall.
(Shinsuke Nakamura retains the RoH Championship!)
Ranallo: Oh, my God!
Graves: HE’S HERE! BROCK LESNAR IS HERE!
The music of Brock Lesnar booms from out of the arena speakers as The Beast Incarnate makes his way out from behind the curtain followed by his advocate Paul Heyman. Lesnar however doesn’t come down to the ring, instead electing to applaud Nakamura’s performance from the top of the stage while motioning to him that his title reign ends next month in London. Never one to back down from a fight, Nakamura raises his title in the air, telling Brock he’s ready for him as we fade out to end this historic 2 night PPV.
Ranallo: Nakamura faces his biggest challenge yet, Brock Lesnar in 4 weeks!
Graves: That’s if he gets there Mauro, there are 3 superstars are waiting in line for a title shot. I’m sure the next 4 weeks are going to be very busy for Nakamura!
