ROH World Tag Team Title Match: The Addiction vs reDRagon vs The Kingdom vs War Machine

We do the standard start to these kinds of matches where everyone tags in and out on each other as Adam Cole joins Kevin and Steve at the broadcast booth. He give us some interesting comments about how he hasn't talked to his Kingdom teammates, doesn't know their strategy for this match, and got no help strategizing for his match with Dalton Castle earlier tonight. Cole is very complimentary of reDRagon as War Machine take control, overpowering both members of the Addiction. Bobby Fish tags in and gets caught by the Addiction, who trap him in their corner (cutting the ring in quarters?) and double team him for several 2 counts. Fish remains in peril as the Kingdom blind tag in off of the Addiction and take control, but that only lasts for a moment before Raymond Rowe tags in and cleans house on both members of the Kingdom. reDRagon comes in after they clear out and double team Daniels, then do a sexy party before going for Chasing The Dragon on Kazarian. Bennett comes in and breaks that up with a spear, then Taven is in and double teams O'Reilly, War Machine come in and double chokeslam Taven, and all heck breaks loose as everyone is brawling in the ring. Rowe Cactus clotheslines Kazarian to the floor, Daniels takes him out with an Arabian press, Fish takes everyone out with a slingshot senton, O'Reilly comes off the apron with a flying knee, Taven takes everyone out with a knee off the apron, and now Hanson heads to the top and comes off with a somersault dive that takes out everyone in the building. Okay, not really, but it looked awesome. He rolls both of the Kingdom into the ring and is promptly double superkicked, then Bennett hits a Twist of Fate on Rowe and Taven hits a Swanton and make a cover, but Rowe is out at 2. Cole leaves the broadcast table as reDRagon hit Chasing the Dragon on Bennett, and Cole heads to the back as they cover Bennett and the Addiction breaks it up at 2. The Addiction is in and hit a double team powerbomb on Fish for 2, Taven superkicks Daniels into next week, Kazarian hits a slingshot DDT on Taven, O'Reilly comes in and kills Daniels with martial arts, Bennett superkicks O'Reilly, Fish Samoan drops Bennett, and War Machine comes in and destroys everyone. War Machine hit an aweoms series of double teams on Daniels and set him up for their finish, but Kazarian drills Hanson with one of the belts, then Daniels goes after Maria with the other. Everyone winds up back in the ring and the Kingdom hit their own series of double teams on O'Reilly, but the Proton Pack fails to put O'Reilly away. Fish flying forearms Bennett, Taven springboard enziguiris Fish, but Fish gets the knees up on a Lionsault attempt from Taven and hit a double team German on Taven for 2. reDRagon hits Chasing the Dragon on Taven, but Kazarian blind tags in and the Addiction hit Celebrity Rehab on Fish for the win.

Winners: The Addiction

That match was absolutely insane, there was a TON of action going on here and you really didn't know who was coming out on top until the final three count. That's the way to do it, best match on the show so far, hands down.

ROH World Title Match: Jay Lethal vs Roderick Strong

They do some basic feeling out stuff to start, but Lethal has trouble with Strong as he repeatedly outmaneuvers the champion. Lethal takes a break on the floor, but Strong regains control as the champ comes back in and gets a 2 off a full bodyslam. Lethal manages to dump Strong out to the floor, follows him out and rams the challenger into the barricade. Lethal brings Strong back inside and covers for several 2 counts, but can't put Strong away. Lethal yanks Strong out of the corner into a powerbomb and locks him in the hanging Kondo Clutch. Strong escapes the hold, so Lethal goes to the knee, viciously stomping it before tying Strong's leg around the middle rope to exert more pressure. Strong starts firing back and drives Lethal back out to the floor, then follows him out and dishes out more punishment before taking a shot at J. Diesel. Strong hits a slingshot suplex for 2, but Lethal regains control briefly before Strong wipes Lethal out with a running leg lariat. Lethal tries to escape under the bottom rope, but Strong gets a Mexican surfboard in the ropes, breaking just before 5 and double stomping Lethal's back before covering for 2. Lethal regains control and locks Strong down with a chinlock, but Strong comes back with some hard chops. Lethal goes for a Jay Driller, but Strong backdrops out and goes for a gutbuster, Lethal blocks and hits a superkick followed by the Lethal Combination for 2. Lethal distracts the referee while Donovan Dijack takes a cheapshot at Strong on the floor, and Strong just manages to beat the count, sunset flipping in and getting dumped right back outside by the champion. Dijack again stalks the challenger, and both he and Diesel jump Strong while the ref's back is turned. Lethal comes out to get Strong and gets chopped right in the chest, but he nails Strong as they head back into the ring and ties him up in a camel clutch. Strong reverses to a camel clutch of his own, but Lethal makes the ropes to force a break. Strong opens up with the chops and gets Lethal in a seated abdominal stretch, Lethal gets out and Strong immediately dropkicks Lethal in face face. Lethal tries to bail to the floor, but Strong goes after him, rolls him back in, and quickly goes for a cover for 2. Strong hits a backbreaker and gets Lethal in a bodyscissors, but Lethal reverses to a surfboard and rolls that into a leg guillotine for 2. Lethal with a clothesline for 2, then he dumps Strong to the apron and knocks him to the floor with a running elbow. They wind up slugging it out on the floor and Strong comes out on top, rolling Lethal back inside and covering for 2. Strong hits a gourdbuster and goes for the Sick Kick, but Lethal's cronies grab his ankle and slow him up just long enough to allow Lethal to get his boot up as Strong charges in. Lethal ditches Strong to the floor and goes for a dive, but Strong sidesteps and sends Lethal crashing into the barricade. Strong quickly goes back inside and takes Dijack and Diesel out with a dive. Lethal whips Strong into the barricade, goes inside to break the count, then comes back out and runs into Strong as he pops Lethal up and gives him a backbreaker onto the barricade. They quickly go back in and Storng hits another gutbuster for 2. Lethal goes to the top, Strong quickly runs up and goes for a superplex, Lethal fights him off and hits a tornado DDT, then rolls through into a guillotine choke. Strong gets to the ropes to force a break, and Lethal gets a rear naked choke using his wrist tape. The referee catches it and forces a break, but Lethal quickly baseball slides Strong to the apron and gives him a neckbreaker over the top rope. Strong falls to the floor right in front of his former manager Truth Martini, who mocks Strong as Lethal whips him to the barricade, then they head back inside where Strong hits a Billy Robinson backbreaker. Lethal sidesteps a charge and ditches Strong to the floor, then he takes Strong out with a trio of dives through the ropes. Strong barely beats the count back inside, and Lethal dumps Strong right back out to the floor to restart the count. Strong makes it back to the apron and Lethal suplexes Strong back inside, covers for 2, and goes to a crippler crossface. Strong makes it to the ropes, but Lethal goes back to ramming shoulders into Strong's midsection and unloads with chops that rival Strong's in intensity. Strong suddenly fires back with chops of his own and dumps Lethal over the top rope and to the floor, Lethal comes back inside at 19 and Strong hits a leaping enziguiri, Lethal ducks a clothesline and goes for the Lethal Injection, but Strong counters to a cradle backbreaker for 2. Lethal blocks another gutbuster, Strong rolls Lethal up and gets Lethal in the Stronghold. Lethal fights his way to the ropes and nearly taps out two or three times, but makes the ropes and forces the break. Strong puts Lethal on the top rope, smacks him in the face, and goes for a superplex. Lethal knocks Strong to the canvas and hits Hail to the King for 2. Lethal hits the Lethal Combination again and goes right into the Koji Clutch, but Strong reverses to a cradle for 2. Lethal tries to nail Strong with the Book of Truth, Strong ducks and goes for a sick kick, but Lethal drills him with the Book of Truth while Truth Martini had the referee distracted. Lethal covers, but only gets 2, Strong rolls to the apron and Lethal chokes him with his boot, then he goes out to the apron as well. I sense bad things for Jay Lethal. Sure enough, Strong gives Lethal a backbreaker onto the apron, shoves Lethal into the ring and covers for 2. Lethal savate kicks Strong and goes for the Lethal Injection, Strong dodges and goes for the sick kick, Lethal counters to a superkick and goes back to the top. Strong is up and nails Lethal, he follows Lethal up and goes for a superplex and nails it, keeps hold and hits a gutbuster, nails a sick kick and covers Lethal for 2.999999. Lethal counters a suplex and hits the Lthal Injection out of nowhere, but Strong kicks out at 2. Lethal is physically struggling as he goes back after Strong, hammering him with hard forearms. Strong fires back, they trade blows in the middle of the ring, both men go down after a simultaneous shot, they trade blows again, Storng hits a pair of leaping knees, a roaring forearm, Lethal hits a superkick, and the bell rings to signify that the time limit expired.

TIME LIMIT DRAW

Awesome, awesomeawesomeawesome main event, and the fans start a match of the year chant as both men are down and completely worn out after the match we just saw. Lethal makes his mark right off the bat as the ROH World Champion, and Roddy marks himself as someone who could take the title on any given night. Great main event and a terrific way to finish off this awesome show.
