Styles in a 22-minute main event. Lethal won clean with two Lethal Injections and Jerry Lynn&#8217;s cradle piledriver finisher. Lynn was at ringside on commentary as part of a mini-feud with Lethal leading into Final Battle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; War Machine (Hanson &amp; Ray Rowe) captured the ROH Tag Titles from The Kingdom&#8217;s Matt Taven &amp; Michael Bennett (w\/Maria Kanellis). It was a quick match with Taven taking a clean loss, likely writing off The Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Roderick Strong retained the ROH TV Title over Bobby Fish using the Undertaker-Brock Lesnar finish from Summerslam where Strong tapped out to Fish out-of-sight of the referee, Fish celebrated, and Strong pinned Fish to retain the title.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; All Night Express won a #1 contender match to the ROH Tag Titles over the Young Bucks and The Briscoes. This sets up Rhett Titus &amp; Kenny King as the next challengers to War Machine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dalton Castle re-acquired the services of his &#8220;Boys&#8221; duo. Castle lost to Silas Young, but the Boys re-joined Castle after the match.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; ROH&#8217;s part of New Japan&#8217;s Tokyo Dome Show is now complete. Lethal will defend the ROH World Title against Michael Elgin on January 4 after Lethal retained the ROH Title tonight.
