ROH World Tag Team Championship
FTR (c) vs. Top Flight

The Ass Boys clapped and ate popcorn on the ramp as FTR stared them down.

We get a vignette of Hobbs driving through his hometown of Oakland. He says, “Just like everyone has taken everything that’s meant something to me, I’m taking everything that means something to you.”
In-Ring: Chris Jericho, JAS, Claudio Castagnoli
JAS come out to cut a promo. Jericho asks who is the one to unseat him as ROH champion and Claudio answers. He says he wants his title back, but Jericho says no. Daddy Magic says if Claudio loses he joins JAS; Jericho likes it, Claudio agrees and that’s the match for Final Battle.
Backstage: Toni Storm
Storm, who has two black eyes after her match with Jamie Hayter at Full Gear, is interviewed by Renee. Storm says that deep down, she’s proud of Hayter, but we didn’t see Hayter beat Storm 1 on 1. She needed Britt and Rebel again. If she can look in the mirror and be cool with that, that’s cool, but Storm could never do that. “And that’s the difference between me and Jamie Hayter.” She says she broke her face losing that title and she’ll break it getting it back.
Darby Allin vs. Anthony Henry
Good match showcasing Henry a little bit more; he got a lot of offense in on Darby and even hit an Inverted Tower of London. JD Drake interfered but was taken out by Sting; Darby wins when he counters a superplex into a Scorpion Death Drop followed with a Coffin Drop for the win.
Winner: Darby Allin
Backstage: Athena

Athena interview; she was suspended and docked pay but that doesn’t matter to her and challenges ROH Women’s Champion Mercedes Martinez.
Hikaru Shida vs. Queen Aminata
Nothing squash match; The Bunny and Penelope Ford distract Shida allowing Aminata to boot her; Shida quickly recovers and hits a Falcon Arrow and Katana for the win.
Winner: Hikaru Shida
Trios Match
Rush, The Butcher & The Blade vs. The Dark Order (John Silver, Alex Reynolds & 10)
Mark Henry sets us up for the main event; 10 is missing from Dark Order’s side.
More of a storyline blow-off as opposed to a big match; Dark Order had the early advantage though 10 wasn’t at ringside. LFI take advantage and isolate Silver for a large portion of the match. Silver nearly got the hot tag to Reynolds but couldn’t; Evil Uno and -1 waved 10 out to the ring. He ran down and squared off with RUSH before turning on Silver and wiping him out the a Lariat. RUSH follows with the Bull’s Horns for the win.
Winners: Rush, The Butcher & The Blade
Post-Match, Uno tries to make the save but gets wiped out by Butcher and Blade; 10 takes out Reynolds with a Lariat. They rip Uno’s mask off and 10 chokeslams Reynolds through a table on the outside. 10 throws his mask at -1’s feet on the ramp and LFI celebrate around him as Rampage ends.
