It will be under elimination rules, which can occur at anytime via pinfall or submission. A coin flip was held earlier today to determine the man advantage, which was won by SCUM. Two men will start for five minutes, after those five minutes, a member of SCUM will enter the match. Every two minutes thereafter, a new member from each team will enter the match. The team who stands tall at the end, after all other members on the opposite team have been eliminated, will be the winner. If Team ROH wins, SCUM must disband. If SCUM wins, Steve Corino will become the new ROH match-maker.
