Eddie Edwards def. Mike Mondo w/Truth Martini by pin
Edwards makes quick work of Mondo, taking him out with Die Hard.

El Generico def. Mike Bennett by pin
The Prodigy is on the offense early and strong. He hits both of his finishers but Generico kicks out each time. Generico turns the tide and quickly puts Bennett down with the Brainbustaaahhh!!! Bennett is beat at that moment but Maria jumps up on the apron, distracting the referee. Generico then hits Bennett with three straight Spike Brainbusters. Bennett kicks out of the first two and after the third Brutal Bob puts Bennett's foot on the ropes to stop the count. A frustrated Generico continues his offense despite some more interference from Brutal Bob. Two more Spike Brainbusters and Bennett is finally down for the count.

Inside Ring of Honor reviews the line up for the upcoming Best In the World iPPV. The Briscoe Bros. will face the Young Bucks to crown new ROH World Tag Team Champions. Rhino and Adam Cole will have a rematch for the Television Title. Roderick Strong will defend the ROH World Championship against the winner of tonight's main event.

Tomasso Ciampa w/Truth Martini def. Davey Richards by pin 
Richards tries to get the jump on Ciampa at the Code of Honor but Ciampa is ready overhead suplexing Richards. Ciampa continues the offense until he climbs the top turnbuckle. Richards leaps up to meet him and superplexes him to the canvas. Davey gets on a roll punishing Ciampa with kicks and suplexes and Martini has to cause a distraction to save his man from defeat. From this point the match is an all out war. Tomasso lays into Richards with a barrage of knee strikes while Richards returns the favor with kicks. The match comes to a close as Richards is again blasted with running knees in the corner and it is too much for him to kick out of again. Tomasso Ciampa is now the number one contender for the ROH World Championship.

Next week: Champions vs. Challengers!

Jay Lethal def. Kyle O'Reilly w/Truth Martini by pin
This was a competitive match with O'Reilly attempting multiple times to put Lethal away with a Guillotine Choke. Lethal came out on top with the Lethal Injection.

Steve Corino comes down to the ring with Bobby Fish. Both men are dressed in suits and wearing glasses. Corino asks for a microphone: "It's been a little while now since Nigel McGuinness banished myself and S.C.U.M. from Ring of Honor. (Corino impatiently waits while the crowd cheers) I haven't talked to Kevin or Jimmy since then and I don't really know what they are doing. Myself: I went to Japan and while I was there I ran into this gentleman here. For all you non-smarks out there, this is Bobby Fish. You are looking at two of the most successful Gaijin wrestlers to ever compete in Japan. When I decided to return to ROH I called Bobby up and asked him to be my partner."
Corino hands the mic to Fish: "That's right, Steve. It's very simple. When you take two great wrestlers and put them together as a team, everyone pays attention. And now that we have your attention, let it be known that whoever wins the ROH World Tag Team Championship tonight, will be seeing us in their rear-view. At that point they can speed up and try to get away, or slow down and face the inevitable."

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

The Briscoes def. The Young Bucks by pin
This match was a wild one as these two teams fought to fill the vacant title spot. First Nick Jackson, then Mark Briscoe fell victim to their rivals double-teaming. As the Briscoes began wearing the Bucks down, and it looked like it might be over, Truth Martini appears at ringside distracting the ref. The Bucks get back into the match and bust Jay's head open on the ring post. Even with Martini's help the Briscoes end up on top and become the new tag champs.

ROH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Roderick Strong def. Tomasso Ciampa w/Truth Martini
Neither man can get his offense going until they end up outside of the ring. Roddy gives Ciampa backbreakers on the announcer's table and the barricade. Back in the ring he puts Tomasso in the Strong Hold but Martini causes a distraction. Roddy follows with a Sick Kick and Martini jumps in the ring and tries to hit him with the Book of Truth but Strong takes it from him and clobbers him with it. Roddy then goes full steam with a brutal series of backbreakers and Sick Kicks. Ciampa is tough and kicks out a few times but the assault proves too much and he goes down. After the match, Martini tries to console Ciampa but the 'Sicilian Psychopath' snaps and puts him in a crossface and cranks on it. The Young Bucks come to Martini's aid and eventually pull Ciampa off. Ciampa menaces the Bucks and then jumps out of the ring, stomps up the ramp, turns around freaks out before heading through the curtain.

O'Reilly tries to say something in Truth's defense but Mondo will have none of it. "You didn't even do anything out there! I thought I had a partner and a manager but all I have is a lame and a goof! This is a joke! I'm done!"

The House of Truth have some promo time. Truth Martini downplays Mike Mondo's defection last week. "Mike Mondo, there are two kinds of people in this world.

"That's right Truth..." Kyle O'Reilly starts to interject but Martini signals to the Bucks: "Let's go, fellas."
O'Reilly stands befuddled in front of the camera for a moment then follows.

Davey Richards def. Rhino by submission
