as the three non-tournament matches also happening on the show.\u00a0 &#8220;SCU!&#8221; opened the action in the arena.\u00a0 Kaz and Sky wore the ROH tag team titles, even though they haven&#8217;t won them on television yet.\u00a0 Daniels spoke about winning tonight&#8217;s tournament and becoming world champion again.\u00a0 Bruiser made his way through the crowd with a can of beer in one hand and a keg over his shoulder.\u00a0 His tag partner, Brian Milonas, was not with him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) BEER CITY BRUISER vs. \u201cTHE FALLEN ANGEL\u201d CHRISTOPHER DANIELS (w\/Frankie Kazarian

very quickly for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Christopher Daniels in 1:52.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 I was thinking than ten matches was a lot for one show so there we go.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-The commentators spoke about Colin Delaney&#8217;s past work including recent\u00a0<em>205 Live <\/em>appearances against Lio Rush and Hideo Itami.\u00a0 He also helped train one of his opponents here in Dalton Castle.\u00a0 Castle was without his usual robe, instead wearing a t-shirt over his trunks.\u00a0 Cabana pointed out that athletic tape appeared to be peeking out from under the shirt and wondered about Castle&#8217;s physical status following his return from injury.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) DALTON CASTLE (w\/The Boys) vs. \u201cHANGMAN\u201d ADAM PAGE vs. COLIN DELANEY

9:50.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 Fine match.\u00a0 Delaney didn&#8217;t get to show off too much but the other two are the ROH regulars so it makes sense they&#8217;re the ones to showcase.\u00a0 Is all the athletic tape on Castle for story purposes or legitimate?\u00a0 Where will the former world champ fit onto the card now that he&#8217;s back and we&#8217;re heading

MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As expected a quickly-paced mix of grappling and holds back and forth between the two.\u00a0 Things got heated up slowly and they evolved into suplexes and kicks.\u00a0 Williams hit a front-facelock DDT from the second rope that drove Gresham into the turnbuckle.\u00a0 Gresham with a hurricanrana.\u00a0 Williams with a death valley driver.\u00a0 They traded strikes at 10:00.\u00a0 Piledriver from Williams but Gresham kicked out at two and a half.\u00a0 &#8220;This is awesome.&#8221;\u00a0 Gresham dropkicked Williams off the apron.\u00a0 High crossbody.\u00a0 Gresham locked in The Octopus and swatted away at Williams&#8217; head.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Jonathan Gresham in 12:19.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 Very good match.\u00a0 Apologies if my coverage doesn&#8217;t do it justice.\u00a0 I think I find Gresham&#8217;s matches the hardest to cover out of anyone on the roster, partly due to the constant transition between holds and maneuvers and partly because I find myself waiting for a breath in the action to type something and suddenly three minutes have passed.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Riccaboni spoke of Andrew Everett competing for ROH in the past before he headed to Impact Wrestling for a three-year tenure.\u00a0 CMLL star Guerrero Maya Jr. was out second followed by Flip Gordon, who already won the ROH Sea Of Honor tournament last week aboard Chris Jericho&#8217;s cruise.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1598425339\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\"

EVERETT \u2013 SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST QUALIFYING MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All three men looked for dropkicks at the same time to no avail.\u00a0 The Americans decided to team up on Maya temporarily.\u00a0 Everett and Gordon fell into a flip-off competition.\u00a0 Maya prevented Sinclair from counting three on an Everett pinfall attempt on Gordon.\u00a0 Springboard back elbow from Maya to Everett.\u00a0 Gordon with a springboard dropkick right to Maya&#8217;s face.\u00a0 Pele kick but Gordon appeared to hurt his knee and Everett went after it.\u00a0 Everett chopped Maya, who asked for more.\u00a0 Tilt-a-whirl backbreakers from Maya to both men.\u00a0 Maya hit a crossbody off the top rope onto both opponents on the floor.\u00a0 Gordon hit a moonsault onto Maya.\u00a0 Everett followed with a top rope shooting star press of his own.\u00a0 Kinder Surprise to Everett.\u00a0 Gordon looked for a 450 on Maya but a big fan in the front row threw a streamer at him.\u00a0 He hit the 450 successfully on Maya but turned his attention to Bully Ray rather than go for the pin.\u00a0 Gordon springboarded off the top rope at Ray but didn&#8217;t appear to clear the distance and hit the steel barricade.\u00a0 Ray threw a forearm at him on the way down as well.\u00a0 Everett looked for a second shooting star press but Maya had plenty of time to recover and hit the Mayan Sacrifice on Everett for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Guerrero Maya Jr. in 9:21.<\/p>\n<p>-Cabana was completely stunned by what happened with Gordon.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 Fun one up until the finish.\u00a0 All signs point to that being a legit misstep as they didn&#8217;t replay Flip&#8217;s leap and didn&#8217;t show him on camera again after the hit.\u00a0 Hopefully we hear an update on his condition by the end of the show.\u00a0 It was hard to get a good look at where and how he hit the steel fencing but Cabana&#8217;s comments really sold how scary it was for him and Riccaboni to witness. )<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-South African wrestler PJ Black (f\/k\/a Justin Gabriel in WWE) refused to slap hands with fans on the way to the ring.\u00a0 Half-dinosaur, half-luchador Luchasaurus (f\/k\/a Vibora in <em>Lucha Underground<\/em>) was his opponent in a match straight out of the Aztec Temple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) LUCHASAURUS vs. \u201cTHE DAREWOLF\u201d PJ BLACK \u2013 SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST QUALIFYING MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luchasaurus fended Black off with kicks.\u00a0 Black sent him to the floor with a hurricanrana.\u00a0\u00a0Luchasaurus caught him with a superkick off a springboard attempt.\u00a0\u00a0Luchasaurus with a moonsault off the apron to Black on the floor.\u00a0\u00a0Double knees in the corner.\u00a0 Knee to the face.\u00a0 Black countered a chokeslam into a cradle driver.\u00a0 Springboard moonsault took down\u00a0the dinosaur.\u00a0 Double stomp for a two-count.\u00a0\u00a0Luchasaurus hit a C4.\u00a0 Taekwondo moves from\u00a0Luchasaurus followed by a chokeslam and standing moonsault for two.\u00a0 Dueling chants for both men.\u00a0 Tombstone piledriver from\u00a0Luchasaurus.\u00a0 He went up top for Event Horizon but Black moved and pinned Luchasaurus after he splatted on the mat.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: PJ Black in 6:56.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 Black didn&#8217;t get to do much and appeared a step off a couple times but maybe he was just conserving himself for the main event later on.\u00a0 Luchasaurus got to look great.\u00a0 The fans seemed a little quiet to start, maybe unfamiliar with LU, but were vocal by the end.\u00a0 I&#8217;d love to see both men make return appearances in the future.\u00a0 Black vs. guys like Sabin and Lethal would be a treat and Luchasaurus is like Punishment Martinez&#8217;s older brother who got really into whatever you call the dinosaur equivalent of furries.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Rhett Titus strutted onto stage in tiny trunks and covered in baby oil.\u00a0 Cabana and Riccaboni made jokes about him being the fittest man in ROH.\u00a0 He joined the commentary booth and posed for the camera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) \u201cTHE VILLAIN\u201d

off the top ropes into a double armdrag on both men.\u00a0 Young found himself trapped between both opponents on the apron and took a barrage of chops and kicks.\u00a0 Stuka and Scurll took each other out with kicks.\u00a0 Referee Paul Turner started counting out all three men.\u00a0 The men prevented each other from re-entering until Turner hit 19 at which point they all slid in.\u00a0 Stuka powerbombed Scurll onto Young.\u00a0 Scurll with a superplex to Stuka but Young broke up the pin.\u00a0 Super back rake from Young to Stuka.\u00a0 No arms diving splash from Stuka to Young for a big near-fall.\u00a0 Scurll hit Graduation on Stuka for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Marty Scurll in 8:30.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 Another fun one.\u00a0 The CMLL guys are always a blast because their styles and approaches are so different from what we usually see in ROH.\u00a0 #wheresLittleWilly?)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) MADISON RAYNE vs. DR. BRITT BAKER, DMD \u2013 QUALIFYING MATCH FOR THE WOH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FOUR-CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH AT <em>FINAL BATTLE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baker hit a running neckbreaker early on.\u00a0 A slingblade earned her a two-count.\u00a0 Swinging neckbreaker for another two.\u00a0 By 5:30 Rayne had got almost zero offense in.\u00a0 Chance Of Rayne got her a two-count.\u00a0 Superkick from Baker.\u00a0 Pumphandle fallaway slam from Baker.\u00a0 Rayne hit a knee to the chin out of nowhere for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Madison Rayne in 7:20.<\/p>\n<p>-Twisted Sisterz (Holidead &amp; Thunder Rosa) hit the ring and beat down both women.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 It pains me to say that I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ve ever seen anything by Rayne that really stood out to me.\u00a0 Just in the past few months I watched her at\u00a0<\/em>All In<em>, in the\u00a0<\/em>Mae Young Classic<em>, and competing against Sumie Sakai for the WOH title and I don&#8217;t remember much about her involvement in any of those.\u00a0 Luckily I&#8217;m very high on Rosa and Holidead so the post-match there is very exciting!\u00a0 Both women competed at the start of this year in the tournament to crown the inaugural WOH Champion but this is the first we&#8217;ve seen of them as a duo in ROH.\u00a0 If they&#8217;re going to be regulars going forward that alone will make them stand out from the other singles acts in the division.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-The Kingdom entered first for their six-man title rematch.\u00a0 They lost the titles due to the illegal man being pinned so they demanded two referees for this one.\u00a0 The Young Bucks came out together and then Cody separately with no Brandi or Burnard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(8a) THE ELITE (Cody, Matt Jackson, &amp; Nick Jackson) vs. THE KINGDOM (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, &amp; TK O\u2019Ryan) \u2013 ROH WORLD SIX-MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marseglia and Nick started.\u00a0 Paul Turner was the referee inside the ring while Todd Sinclair was at ringside.\u00a0 The Elite hit a flurry of signature offense in the early minutes.\u00a0 Cody with a delayed vertical suplex to Marseglia.\u00a0 Taven tagged in and renewed his long feud with Cody.\u00a0 The Kingdom isolated Cody and double-teamed him while both referees were busy on the other side of the ring.\u00a0 They ran him into the guardrail.\u00a0 The Kingdom continued to tag in and out as they worked over Cody.\u00a0 Hot tag to Matt at 8:30.\u00a0 Triple sharpshooters to all three Kingdom members at 10:50.\u00a0 Sinclair got taken out by a stray kick at ringside.\u00a0 CrossRhodes to Marseglia.\u00a0 Taven looked for a springboard kick on Cody but he ducked and Turner went down too.\u00a0 CrossRhodes to Taven.\u00a0 O&#8217;Ryan with a baseball bat to The Elite.\u00a0 &#8220;You suck&#8221; chant.\u00a0 Rockstar Supernova to Cody.\u00a0 A short referee in a baseball cap ran out and counted two before stopping.\u00a0 Brandi Rhodes pulled off her hat and gave Taven the finger.\u00a0 They cornered her but The Elite returned and Cody hit CrossRhodes on O&#8217;Ryan.\u00a0 Brandi counted three and called for the bell.\u00a0 After a pause it rang and Cody&#8217;s music hit.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: The Elite in 14:13 to retain the six-man titles?<\/p>\n<p>-Turner, Sinclair, and the ring announcer consulted.\u00a0 The music cut out.\u00a0 As they huddled in the corner Taven went after Cody and Brandi was knocked down in the process.\u00a0\u00a0The real referees clarified that Brandi was not a legal official so the match must be restarted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(8b) THE ELITE (Cody, Matt Jackson, &amp; Nick Jackson w\/Brandi Rhodes) vs. THE KINGDOM (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, &amp; TK

cleared Cody and Nick and hit House Of A Thousand Horses on Matt for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: The Kingdom in 14:47 to capture the six-man titles.<\/p>\n<p>-O&#8217;Ryan took a mic.\u00a0 He declared them three-time six-man champions and said The Kingdom conspiracy is dead.\u00a0 &#8220;You still suck&#8221; chant from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 It&#8217;s hilariously dumb how fragile the women instantly become the second men are around.\u00a0 Brandi is a professional wrestler who competes in full-length matches but one little jostle here and she&#8217;s dead to the world.\u00a0 If you ever thought ROH might actually be open to intergender wrestling look no further.\u00a0 As to all the shenanigans, I don&#8217;t mind them when they&#8217;re used sparingly.\u00a0 This was the first screwy finish of the night and probably the last.\u00a0 The story here is likely less about The Kingdom winning the titles again and more about getting the gold off The Elite in lieu of an impending departure from ROH.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Kenny King joined the commentary booth.\u00a0 He was scouting the world champion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(9) ROH WORLD CHAMPION JAY LETHAL &amp; ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION JEFF COBB vs. ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS SOCAL UNCENSORED (Frankie Kazarian &amp; Scorpio Sky) \u2013 NON-TITLE MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kaz and Lethal started things off.\u00a0 Cobb tagged in briefly early on to no-sell some offense from Sky but things quickly wound up with Lethal being isolated by the tag champs.\u00a0 He came back with a cutter to Kaz on the floor at 7:50.\u00a0 Hot tag to Cobb.\u00a0 He hurled Sky with a belly to belly suplex.\u00a0 Back suplex.\u00a0 Standing moonsault.\u00a0 Cobb lifted Sky for a delayed vertical suplex.\u00a0 With Sky upside down Lethal tagged in and Cobb handed Sky to him.\u00a0 Lethal continued to hold Sky upside down before finally dropping him.\u00a0 Roles reversed with Sky now being isolated from his partner.\u00a0 He put up a bit of a fight at 13:30 with Sky and Lethal both ending up down on the mat.\u00a0 Tag to Kaz.\u00a0 He fired up on Lethal.\u00a0 Cobb dragged Lethal to their corner and tagged himself in.\u00a0 Cobb with a bridging German suplex to Kaz but he kicked out.\u00a0 Things broke down when The Briscoes walked out onto the stage.\u00a0 They threw a steel chair at Sky.\u00a0 Kaz took a Tour Of The Islands from Cobb.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Cobb &amp; Lethal in 18:14.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 This was our first glimpse of Cobb in something other than a squash match in ROH.\u00a0 He is without a doubt someone they could build their entire promotion around with the sole problem being that he&#8217;s so good and so strong and so quick that it&#8217;s almost tough to buy anyone as a credible threat to him.\u00a0 You should have anticipated a screwy finish to this one so that no champion would have to be pinned clean.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t yet know how SCU won the titles from the Briscoes but it&#8217;s clear their feud will continue as we head toward\u00a0<\/em>Final

turnbuckle.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective:\u00a0 The first seven minutes there were a lot of fun.\u00a0 Gresham looked so good at one point that I actually thought he might win the whole thing but he was of course eliminated about twelve seconds later.\u00a0 After his elimination things went downhill quickly as it just turned into a slow, basic tag match.\u00a0 I like that Daniels and Black were able to work together and didn&#8217;t end up turning on each other and things did finally pick up again after Black&#8217;s elimination but that long, slow stretch of ten minutes there really brought the energy down needlessly.\u00a0 Scurll winning isn&#8217;t all that exciting seeing as how he&#8217;s already challenged for the world title multiple titles and is established as a main eventer (a clean pinfall loss to Hurricane notwithstanding).\u00a0 I had called Page going in but, as we saw with the six-man titles, there&#8217;s a definite vibe in the air that Cody, Page, and the Bucks are not long for the company.\u00a0 Scurll is around until April at least and undeniably one of the most popular names with the live crowds so it makes sense to get the most out of him that they can for the next five months.\u00a0 I suspect he doesn&#8217;t get his title shot until sometime in January or February, though.)<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Find Harley on Twitter <a
