We are one week away from Final Battle and we have the final announcements for the lineup of the show.
In the undercard, Michael Elgin will be taking on Jay Lethal. Colt Cabana will face Roderick Strong. Tommaso Ciampa and Mike Mondo will do battle. And finally C&C wrestle Factory will take on The Young Bucks.
After the intermission we have 4 huge matches. In the Fight Without Honor Kevin Steen will take on El Generico. This match has been a long time coming as these two have feuded around the country the last two years. Kevin Steen says he's ready. He's been on fire lately and El Generico spent the year battling the BDK in Chikara. Here's “Mr. Wrestling” Steve Corino to talk about it.
Corino: You probably are wondering where Kevin Steen is, why he isn't giving this interview. Well Kevin Steen is preparing for El Generico, and he can't be bothered with this interview. So “The King of Old School” is here to fill you in as to what is going to happen. El Generico, you spent the year in Chikara and you did OK for yourself. You got a shot at their Grand Championship, and you came up short against Brodie Lee. You otherwise had a passable win loss record and you barely beat Delirious in a series of matches at the beginning of the year. So what makes you think that you can come to Ring of Honor and resurrect a war with the man who made you famous and win? You've won one match here! You've already spent a few weeks on the disabled list in the short time you've been here. You've done nothing to warrant this match and the only reason you have this match, my masked friend, is because Jim Cornette is giving the fans what they want. Well, what they think they want. What you think you want. Because in reality you don't want any part of “Wrestling's Worst Nightmare” Kevin Steen.
Adam Cole said it last week, Kevin Steen may be the most dangerous man in this company. And look what Kevin Steen did to Cole. Look what he did to your buddy, Colt Cabana. Cabana spent his year in Chikara too. That just goes to show you that wrestling ants and ice cream cones does not prepare you for wrestling a man who doesn't care about his own safety, let alone yours. I'll tell you what's going to happen, El Generico. Kevin Steen is going to beat you. He's going to dominate you. You won't even be a bump in the road to him. And when he's done with you he will enter next year as the top challenger for the Ring of Honor World Championship. You're just padding his win loss record, and I thank you for that. Kevin Steen doesn't thank you, however. He's going to f@%&ing destroy you for your efforts.
Harsh words from a certified legend of the sport, that match will be something to see.
The Briscoe Brothers get another shot at the World Tag Team Championship after beating The Young Bucks to earn their shot. World's Greatest Tag Team is undefeated, but The Briscoes actually have more wins currently. Let's hear from The Briscoes.
Jay: I know what you all are sayin'. Dem Boys Have had their shot against Benjamin and Haas on several occasions, and they ain't got it done. Well, you'd be right to say that...
Mark: I said that...
Jay: Shut up, Chickin, I said you'd be right to say it. We got more wins than anyone in ROH in Tag Team matches, but keep losing to the WGTT! Well come Final Battle we fixin to change that.
Mark: They think because they college athletes they so special. But the Briscoes skipped college and went straight into the head bustin business.
Jay: Did they teach you how to deal with two down home brawlers in dem colleges, boys? See, it's really simple. Come Final Battle, we will take those Tag Straps and we will be on top of the Tag Team World. Ain't a damn thing you can do about it, it's just gonna happen. So shine them belts up nice for us, boys, in a week they'll be ours.
Kyle O'Reilly will face Adam Cole in a Two out of Three Falls Match for the new World Television Championship.
And in the Main Event, a Triple Threat Match for the World Championship, Davey Richards vs. Eddie Edwards vs. World Champion Rhino. Eddie has really changed the landscape of this match by beating both Davey Richards and Rhino in separate matches. Rhino has been otherwise dominate, and Richards is always a player. This will be a huge match for The Championship. Let's hear from Eddie Edwards.
Eddie Edwards: I keep hearing about how Eddie Edwards upset things. I didn't set out to upset anything. But I do always strive to be the best wrestler I can be. That's what led to me beating my good friend Davey Richards. That's what led to me pinning World Champion Rhino. Now Jim Cornette thinks that has earned me a spot in the World Title Match at Final Battle. Well I'm honored. Davey, Rhino, it's no disrespect to you. You both earned your spots in that match, but now so have I, and there's no way that “Die Hard” Eddie Edwards is going to let this opportunity pass him by. I intend to walk out of Final Battle as the new World Champion. May the best man win.
Final Battle will be one to remember. Our last show of the year will set the tone for next year. You can't afford to miss this amazing event with so much on the line.
