TV Rating:
1. The Addiction def. Coast to Coast. Frankie Kazarian pinned Leon St. Giovanni.
2. Shane Taylor def. Eli Isom-KO.
3. ROH 6-man tag titles: The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega def. Rocky Romero & Best Friends. Omega pinned Romero.
1. The Addiction vs. Coast to Coast.
Standard match. CTC hasn't won a significant match yet as of this episode, while the former champs are looking to either get back in the title hunt or disrupt it. In dubbed commentary, Ian Riccoboni & Colt Cabana brought up how the Addiction are now targeting the 6-man titles. Hmmmmm. Not a case of veterans doing the honors for up-&-comers as a result. The end here has Christopher Daniels landing the Best Meltzer (Driver) Ever on Leon St. Giovanni, with Frankie Kazarian making the cover.
Winners: The Addiction.
Post-match, St. Giovanni & Shaheem Ali decide they'll have one more match, and if they lose, they'll split up. The frustration is there, but is this necessary?
2. Shane Taylor vs. Eli Isom.
Squash. Taylor landed a KO punch about 2 minutes in, and that was it.
Winner: Shane Taylor.
Coleman's Pulpit: The guest is Brandi Rhodes. If you're DVR'ing the show, I recommend fast-forwarding because this offers nothing of substance.
3. Ring of Honor 6-man tag titles: The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega vs. Rocky Romero & Best Friends.
It's evident that there are still some issues between Romero & Trent Barreta, or more specifically, Romero and Chuck Taylor, but they did a group hug later. The Bucks hold the 6-man titles with Adam Page, but the Bullet Club has managed to get it so that the Bucks can pick any other member to defend the titles with them on a given night. Whatever issues Omega may have had that kept him out of the US have long been resolved, so he makes his first appearance in an American ring for ROH on TV in quite some time. Fans clearly were cheering for the Elite here. The challengers landed the Dudebuster/Strong Zero twice, but no pins. Of course it got wacky at the end, and Omega pinned Romero after a One Winged Meltzer Driver (One Winged Angel dropped into the Meltzer Driver).
Winners: The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega.
