We are live on tape from Baltimore, Maryland and your announcers are Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness.
Kevin and Nigel welcome us to the show and we see people banging on the guardrails. Kevin mentions the match on March 4th at the Anniversary Show when Davey Richards and Kyle O’Reilly face Adam Cole and Eddie Edwards.
Kevin says that there will be no main event because of Shelton Benjamin’s suspension that will prevent us from seeing the Young Bucks versus Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas.
Charlie Haas makes his way to the ring and Haas wants to know whose fault it is that there is no main event. He says that it is Ring of Honor, Jim Cornette, and Mark Briscoe’s fault. He says that Mark is a dummy because he ran into a steel chair. Haas says that he is not going to deny the fans the ability to watch the greatest wrestler in the company. He says that he will fight either Briscoe tonight because he is the outlaw and he is that damn good.
The Briscoes make their way to the ring.
Jay says that if Charlie Haas wants a piece of the Briscoes, there is nothing between them but air and opportunity so he tells him to leap.
Haas says that he doesn’t know which one he wants to fight tonight.
Jim Cornette makes his way to the ring and he demands a match tonight.
Charlie says that he will face Mark but only if Jay is handcuffed to the ring post. Jay is okay with that because he knows that Mark is going to win.
Jim says that he is not going to have a stroke over him. Jim says that he knows that Shelton is not in Maryland so he knows that this is not a set up. He says that if the Briscoes want the match and don’t care about the handcuffs, then we have a main event tonight. Jim storms out of the ring.
