KEVIN KELLY
After a 4 month hiatus, we welcome you to Ring of Respect Over-Drive! (The crowd cheers wildly) I'm Kevin Kelly alongside my broadcast colleague King Corino, and what an incredible line-up we've got planned, including our double main event. The first main event sees the brand new Ring of Respect Wrestling Television champion and leader of the Kingdom, Adam Cole put the title on the line as he defends against the leader of the Decade, BJ Whitmer.
KING CORINO
I can't wait for that match. You know who I'm rooting for. In addition to that match, the brand new Ring of Respect Wrestling Tag Team champions, the "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Kazarian, the Addiction, go up against their former rivals Red Dragon, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish, in a non-title match.
KEVIN KELLY
During our hiatus, several new stars have signed to Ring of Respect, and some of them will be making their television debuts tonight, including the two teams in our opening contest, so let's take you up to the ring with Bobby Cruise for the introductions.

His opponent, wrestling out of Baltimore, Maryland and weighing in at 300 pounds, Moose! (The crowd chants "MOOSE! MOOSE! MOOSE!" as Moose makes his way down to the ring. Once he enters the ring, Ring of Respect match maker Nigel McGuinness leads a team of referees and security personnel down to ringside to escort the other members of Bullet Club back to the dressing room, ensuring that this match will remain a one on one contest.)
