We've got two more shows before Final Resolution and the card is starting to come together. It feels like a filler PPV until we get to something a lot bigger. The interesting thing will be if Storm is allowed to wrestle again as he's really getting hurt by being injured as the mini-feud with Roode he had made him the real star out of the whole thing. But it's a concussion so it's hard to say when he'll be better. Let's get to it.
We open with a video of Roode's family talking about how he's pretty much abandoned them and it's all about him anymore. Cool idea given how he was pushed as this family man when he was going for the title.
Sting opens the show and says everyone is trying to run this place. Right now, he's going to deal with Bobby Roode, so get on out here. Roode says let's get this over with. Sting talks about how Roode has done all this stuff and jumped Styles and Hardy to end the show. Roode calls it great TV and says Sting is welcome for what he's done recently. Sting says he runs the place and it's run his way. For every bad thing Roode does, there's a consequence, which starts right now.
Cue AJ and Roode says Sting is fighting AJ's battles now. Sting also brings out Hardy who asks why Roode doesn't respect Sting's authority. Sting says screw you Bobby and makes it a three way match for the main event tonight.
The Knockouts are in robes while Karen yells. She gets in Velvet's face and yells about disrespect and all that jazz. Tonight they're going to wash six cars and then the rest of them. Oh and they'll be in swimsuits. Madison gladly disrobes and looks pretty good underneath it.
Jeff Hardy says he and AJ are about to go talk strategy. Jarrett comes up and takes his jacket off. He wants to know why Hardy thinks he belongs here. Hardy says this is his last shot. Jarrett throws his jacket in Hardy's face and beats him down. Here's your backstage brawl of the week.
Bischoff meets with Ray in the back because they don't have an office anymore. Eric wants Ray to wait before killing his kid. Yeah brilliant there dude. Instead, let's get rid of Abyss. Ray put him through a table and it did nothing so Eric suggests talking to him. Ray thinks he's nuts (both Eric and Abyss) so he'll get Scott Steiner to help talk. Oh geez.
The Knockouts are in bikinis and washing cars and Tara is forced to disrobe. ODB gets a street fight with Mickie James for some reason. If she hurts Mickie she's the new #1 contender.
Mexican America vs. Ink Inc vs. D-Von/D'Angelo Dinero
Winners are #1 contenders. D-Von and Pope clear the ring until we get down to Pope vs. Anarquia with the street preacher taking over. The Mexicans finally take over until it's a hot tag to D-Von. There's nothing interesting going on here. I still want to know why they think pushing D-Von is a good thing. Neal tags himself in, spears Hernandez but walks into a spinebuster from D-Von for the pin at 5:06.
Here's Austin Aries to talk a bit. He says he has a problem as the greatest man that ever lived. His plan was to revitalize the division and bring in some greatness, but his greatness is so far ahead of everyone else. It's time to call this the A Double division. No one can hold a candle to him so....oh dang it here's Kid Kash.
He talks about Turning Point and how Aries screwed him over after Kash took out Sorensen for him. It's an old vs. new argument and Aries says he's champion. Kash says he held it before. Aries says shake my hand and you have a shot. They shake hands and punch each other at the same time. I think that's supposed to be a face turn for Kash.
Gunner goes to find Garrett Bischoff at a gym.
AJ says he'll win tonight.
Gunner tries to find Garrett Bischoff but finds someone else who he beats up. No one else seems to care. He keeps looking and annoys someone else. Gunner beats up two more people and then the original guy comes back. There's a clothesline for him and then he chokes the guy down. He hurts a guy's arm and tried to be menacing, saying he's coming for Garrett.
Sting yells at Jarrett, telling him to stay out of the main event tonight. Jarrett says Sting has no room to talk because he was in the match with Hardy at Victory Road. Sting says there will be consequences if Jarrett interferes. Jarrett says he might be willing to pay that consequence.
More parenting stuff from Roode's wife.
The Knockouts are still washing cars. Taz's car is in line for later and a bus or something like that comes up.
Steiner is lifting weights when Ray comes up to talk about Abyss. CAN WE HAVE A WRESTLING MATCH ALREADY??? Steiner suggests offering a freak to Abyss to get him to join their team again.
Mickie James vs. ODB
Street fight. It's a brawl on the ramp to start and they roll towards the ring. Street fights mean falls count anywhere here I guess. Mickie's rana is countered into a powerbomb. They go into the crowd and Mickie fights back in front of a handicap ramp. ODB hits her with a lot of metal stuff and Mickie looks a bit dead. We do the odd hardcore match thing where people insist on walking around.
She walks around even more until Mickie gets in a chop. Gee, I wonder if the minute long walk had anything to do with her getting a second wind. Back to the ring and Mickie starts her comeback. ODB breaks up the jumping DDT and gets a chair. Like any idiot, she holds it in front of her face to allow Mickie to kick the chair into her face for the pin at 7:00.
Storm (at home) says he's still out with a concussion. Angle interrupts and asks Storm how it felt to have his head bashed in and how his daughter reacted to it. Angle blames Storm for losing the title so Angle says be here next week to confirm a match at Final Resolution. Storm says it'll be a beating, not a match.
Some chicks are in the back and looking for Abyss.
We see the long version of Roode's family complaining. Roode says he got them a bunch of stuff with the money so if he's a user, so are they.
TV Title: Rob Van Dam vs. Robbie E
Why do I have a feeling the obvious ending isn't the one that is going to happen? RVD dominates to start and sends Robbie to the floor quickly. Big Rob gets in a shot to take over and Robbie pounds away a bit. Back to the floor and here's Eric Young in underwear with a fire extinguisher. RVD gets a kick to the face and hits the Five Star but Eric has the referee. Daniels runs in and hits Angel's Wings on RVD so Robbie can get the pin at 4:02.
Rating: Rob. What else do you want me to call it? This was about as predictable as you could want it to be, which isn't saying much. The match wasn't the point here obviously and the idea was to have Daniels run in and Young to be all wacky because that's all he knows how to do.
Steiner's girls are all messed up after meeting Abyss.
The Knockouts get in a fight with the water and soap. Karen comes in with garden hoses and sprays them all down.
Robert Roode vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy
This has over twenty minutes to go so maybe it'll be good. This is non-title of course. Roode immediately hits the floor and we get our first contact about a minute in with both guys beating on Roode. He gets ping-ponged between the two of them and then clotheslined to the floor. Time for the face showdown....or not. Instead they get in a mini argument over who gets to dive to the floor. Hardy hits a baseball slide as we take a break.
Back with Roode hitting a belly to back suplex for one as Hardy makes the save. AJ gets his eyes raked and accidentally hits Hardy, giving us the showdown we've been waiting for. AJ hits his drop down into a dropkick sequence but Hardy takes over and gets two of his own. Roode comes back in and beats both guys down before focusing on Hardy. Spinebuster gets two.
AJ pops back up with the springboard forearm and backflip into the reverse DDT on Roode. Roode takes over again and hits a fisherman's suplex on AJ which Hardy breaks up. Twist of Fate to Roode and he loads up the Swanton, but here's Jarrett to crotch him. Roode covers Hardy for the easy pin at 14:30.
Sting comes out and makes Jeff vs. Jeff in a cage at the PPV. If Jarrett escapes first, Hardy is gone. If Hardy escapes first, he gets the title shot at Genesis. Karen comes out to yell so she'll be handcuffed to Sting during the match.

A few weeks ago I saw a graphic on my screen that said that due to a local contract dispute, I might lose the channel that airs ROH. If that happens, I'm done. I know that's not something I often say, but in this case it's all I can say. There's just nothing on ROH that makes me want to keep watching it. From the total lack of psychology to the lack of character development to Davey Richards reaching levels of uninterest I didn't think existed, I'm probably done with this after Final Battle. Let's get to it.
We open with a recap of the TV Title situation last week. I still don't see why Generico is supposed to be part of the title picture but that's wrestling for you.
The main event is a tag match of course. You do have to give them this: they're pushing the tag teams like no one else.
Tommaso Ciampa says he's dominant and awesome. He's undefeated at this point.
Shiloh Jonze vs. Tommaso Ciampa
Yes it's spelled that way. Even the announcers admit this is going to be domination. Jonze takes a beating to start but gets in a few punches. Jonze hits a top rope forearm and that's about it for his comeback attempt. Ciampa hits five running knees in the corner to the head of Jonze so that Project Ciampa can end it at 4:02.
The Briscoes complain about what happened last week where they were chased into the streets.
The All Night Express says they're still awesome and that they'll prove it next week against the champions. It'll be a proving ground match. Shouldn't we hear from the champs here? No? Ok then.
Time for the big angle with Steen and Cornette. Cornette insults Steen's lawyer and then tells Steen that he's awesome. He says Steen is awesome and wins matches but there's one problem: he's crazy. He's also too whiny (this is Jim Cornette saying this remember) because he always has all these issues. Steen takes all that as a compliment and calls Cornette a hypocrite. He says Cornette hates him because he became a star without Cornette. Steen also runs down Richards again which sounds like a big match they're planning.
Corino is there too and he'll make the official offer to Steen. Corino says he caused all this and that he created this monster inside Steen. After Final Battle last year, Corino decided he had to change. Steen's future is him though, but Corino is cut off before he gets to explain that. Steen goes on a rant against Corino and Jimmy Jacobs (he helped Corino rehabilitate), talking about how they're as weak as Cornette now.
Corino makes the offer that they have a match at Final Battle. If Steen wins, he's back in ROH but if Corino wins, he's gone forever. This will be the old and evil Corino though, for one last time. Jacobs will be the referee according to Cornette and Steen is happy with everything. Steen says it'll be his Ring of Honor and spits at Corino, prompting a big brawl to end the segment.
Time for Inside ROH.
The TV Title match will now be a triple threat at Final Battle. Bennett almost has to win the title now.
And of course we have to talk about Dan Severn because this is an MMA show in disguise. Edwards says he'll be ready to beat Richards again. He says he needs to step out of the shadow of Richards again. See right there, that's ALL you need to say to build this up. Why in the world do we need Severn and the training videos and all that nonsense?
Richards says Severn is a great trainer so Edwards is going to be all awesome and stuff. Also, the whole Severn aspect is out of nowhere as Martini has been in this whole thing since the beginning, but we can't have Edwards team up with him because that would make too much sense. We need Dan Severn, who is far more famous in MMA than wrestling right?
Strong continues to prove why he should never talk, ranting about how he should be in the main event.
The Blossom Twins, an ROH female tag team of British twins, shill merchandise.
The Young Bucks say they're awesome already and don't need to respect anyone. They want to know where their respect is. They make fun of old guys including Booker T because those guys can't hang with them.
Young Bucks vs. Futureshock
Futureshock is Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly. Ok so their names are Matt and Nick. Got it. We'll say that's Nick vs. Cole to start us up. They fly around a lot and then O'Reilly has to get in his strikes because he's part of Team Richards. We finally get down to O'Reilly vs. Matt but the Bucks cheat to take over. We take a break and come back with the Bucks beating down O'Reilly even more.
Nick goes up but a top rope splash hits knees. Hot tag brings in Cole who hits a double dropkick to take over. He easily fights off both Bucks, including a sweet wheelbarrow suplex to Nick to send him back first into the barricade. Top rope cross body gets two on Matt. O'Reilly hits his rolling butterfly suplexes and Futureshock takes over. The Bucks avoid the finishing sequence and hit a bunch of kicks, including a double superkick for two on Cole.
Futureshock avoids More Bang For Your Buck and hits an overly complicated finishing sequence into a guillotine choke by Kyle. Nick comes in and punches and kicks him in the head a bunch which doesn't break it. Does he think he's Meng or something? He puts it back on but Matt still won't tap. Nick hits a slingshot Edge-O-Matic to break it up and now More Bang For Your Buck hits for pin at 13:18.
