[c]<\/p>\n<p>-Returning from commercial, Brian Johnson is shown doing dips, in preparation for his upcoming match.\u00a0 P.J. Black approaches Johnson with his phone, to show Johnson clips of their previous match.\u00a0 Johnson quickly shuts this down, and storms off.\u00a0 As Johnson leaves, Black says, \u201cPhase two is about to begin\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>-Ian and Quinn are back on-air, selling future dates and matches already scheduled for these towns.\u00a0 Ian then throws it to highlights of Bully Ray and Maria Manic in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>-Bully Ray is already in the ring with a microphone, and calls out Maria Manic.\u00a0 Coming from the crowd, Maria answers his challenge and walks to ringside.\u00a0 After prompting and taunting by Bully, Maria enters the ring, and immediately spears Bully.\u00a0 Maria has the upper-hand, and appears to be about to put Bully through a table, before The Allure (Mandy Leon and Angelina Love), storm her from behind.\u00a0 Love hits Maria in the face with a high-heeled shoe, knocking her out.\u00a0 Then, The Allure holds down Maria on a table, allowing Bully to belly-flop on her, through the table. \u00a0[c]<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1124755518\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Ian and Quinn are back, promoting tonight\u2019s main event and the new merchandise available at the ROH Pro Shop.\u00a0 Ian says he often wears a P.J. Black shirt, which gives Quinn an opportunity to talk about P.J. Black trying to mentor Brian Johnson.\u00a0 They then kick it to the ring, for our television main event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) THE BOUNCERS (Beer City Bruiser &amp; Brawler Milonas) v<\/strong><strong>s. P.J. BLACK &amp; BRIAN JOHNSON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As The Bouncers approached the ring, a pre-taped promo was shown, saying there were several makeshift teams in the ROH tag division, but none were unified like they are.\u00a0 They finished a solid, but similar promo to two weeks ago with, \u201c2020 is the Year of the Beer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Black and Milonas begin the action, with Milonas using his size to overwhelm Black, before Johnson tagged himself in.\u00a0 The Bouncers continued to use their size advantage to work over their opponents, especially Johnson, who did not get an offensive maneuver in for many minutes. \u00a0[c]<\/p>\n<p>Returning \u201clive,\u201d The Bouncers continued to work over Johnson, before he finally got a hot tag to Black nearly six minutes into action.\u00a0 Johnson finally gains an advantage on Bruiser, putting him twice into a headlock and attempting to use the ropes for leverage.\u00a0 Black knocked his feet off the ropes both times.<\/p>\n<p>The finish occurs when Brian Johnson brought a chair into the ring, but of course, Black does not allow it to happen.\u00a0 Bruiser then bumps Johnson into Black, knocking P.J. outside the ring.\u00a0 This gives Bruiser the chance to grab Johnson, and Milonas hit their \u201cClosing Time\u201d finisher for the victory.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: The Bouncers at 8:27<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: This was an entertaining match, with the contest advancing the turbulent mentorship with Black and Johnson, while giving The Bouncers another victory on television.\u00a0 The Bouncers are piling up wins in 2020, and I am curious to see if this push leads to a title run later this year.)<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1512594656\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Post-match, Black is obviously frustrated by Johnson\u2019s cheating tactics, while Johnson\u2019s obviously upset that Black stifled his opportunity to win the match.\u00a0 Both blame each other as we go to a graphic on-screen, hyping the main event. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-When we return, there is a cameraman following Johnson backstage, asking Brian, \u201cWhat happened\u201d?\u00a0 Johnson furiously starting saying he was about to win their match, before Black interrupted him mid-diatribe.\u00a0 Black said you must first defeat your opponent with your mind, and you never use a chair.\u00a0 Johnson began to argue, before Black interrupted him again, telling Johnson he agreed to listen to his advice.\u00a0 Black told Johnson to take two deep breaths: on the second breath, Johnson walked away and out of the building.\u00a0 Black then says, \u201cThis is going to be harder than I thought\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>-Next a graphic is shown on-screen, featuring next week\u2019s television main event, consisting of Jeff Cobb, Dan Maff, Jonathan Gresham and Jay Lethal, against The Bouncers and Two Guys One Tag.<\/p>\n<p>-We then go to the ring for our main event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) LA FACCION INGOBERNABLE (Dragon Lee &amp;
