Commercial
Back from commercial, ROH match-maker Nigel McGuinness is in the ring. Nigel talks about Death Before Dishonor and the semi-finals and finals of the ROH World Title tournament. Nigel says at the end of the finals, how proud he was to be in ROH, but after what Adam Cole did to Jay Briscoe and Michael Elgin after the finals, how embarassed he was. Nigel announces the Champions vs. All-Stars main event at Glory by Honor XI on 10/26. Adam Cole, reDRagon & Matt Taven vs. a team of ROH all-stars. If someone pins Cole, they get a ROH World Title shot. Michael Elgin will be on the all-star team.
Jay Briscoe’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Jay says to Nigel how can he have that match without the real ROH World Champion in it. Jay knows he is still injured, but he will be cleared soon. His dad told him if whoever won the ROH World Title did so like a man, then to hand the title to that person, but Adam Cole superkicked him and that makes Adam Cole a b***h. Jay says he will be cleared 5 days before Glory by Honor XI. He has done what Michael Elgin could not do at Death Before Dishonor and that’s beat Adam Cole.
Michael Elgin’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Elgin says that he had the match won against Cole, but the ref was knocked down. Jay did not defend the ROH World Title against him when Jay was champion. I’m not looking at the past, I’m looking at the future. It doesn’t matter who is on his team at Glory by Honor, he will beat every champion and get another title shot. For 6 months, he fought for Nigel’s defintion of honor, but now, I’m done. I now fight for own defintion of honor. Jay claims he is the real ROH world champion, but I am the uncrowned champion.
Referees come in to get in-between Jay & Elgin as we go to commercial.
