Ring of Honor returns to Buffalo, NY tonight, with the following card:

James Gibson vs. Colt Cabana- ROH World Title Match. Cabana earned this match with Gibson by defeating Nigel McGuinness last Saturday in a "Soccer Riot" match. Gibson won the ROH Title from Cabana's longtime friend CM Punk in Dayton on 8/12 in a 4 way elimination match. The next night, Cabana defeated Punk in a 2 out of 3 falls match. Gibson defended the title last week against Spanky & Homicide in a match that ended in two non-finishes, and then defeated Spanky one on one later that night.

Samoa Joe vs. Nigel McGuinness- ROH Pure Title Match.Joe has been the Pure Champ since Manhattan Mayhem, and last week he retained the belt against Christopher Daniels. That same night, Nigel lost to Colt Cabana, but now he has a Pure Title shot against Joe. Nigel lost to Joe at It All Begins earlier this year.

AJ Styles vs. CIMA- Dragon's Gate Dream Match. CIMA is one of the two stars from Dragon's Gate making a special appearance in ROH tonight. He takes on Styles tonight, who has been with ROH since 2002 off and on. I'm not overly familiar with CIMA, but lots of people who are seem to be excited about this match-up.

Christopher Daniels vs. Shingo Takagi- Dragon's Gate Dream Match. Much like the match listed above, this is a special appearance from a Dragon's Gate superstar, and he'll be taking on one of ROH's founding fathers in Daniels.

Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs. Spanky & Jimmy Rave- Embassy vs. Generation Next showdown. Spanky is filling in for Alex Shelley in this match. Spanky isn't part of the Embassy, as this is a one night only deal for him teaming with Rave. The Embassy & GeNext have been feuding since The Homecoming, with GeNext picking up more wins than losses so far, including a big 6 man tag win in Dayton on 8/12, and because of that, Matt Sydal became part of GeNext.

Homicide vs. El Generico. Generico gets moved up to this match from the 4 way when Spanky moved from this match to the tag match. Poor, poor Generico.

Jimmy Jacobs vs. Chad Collyer vs. Kevin Steen vs. Davey Andrews- Four Corner Survival. Jacobs is half of the reigning ROH Tag Team champions with BJ Whitmer. Collyer, Steen, and Andrews are all irregulars on ROH main shows, but they all get a chance tonight to pick up a win over half of the tag champs.

Ricky Reyes vs. Puma This will see a member of the Rottweilers take on a member of the Embassy. Who knows, maybe it could spark something huge?

Plus more to be added, including The Ring Crew Express.
