Lethal nailed the champion with several forearms but was caught with an overhead throw. He chopped Lethal against the ropes. Lethal blocked an Irish whip and nailed a big forearm.

Lethal pulled Castle to the outside and they battled all over ringside, taking out the ringside table. Lethal went for a dive but Castle moved, and Bobby Cruise was hit. That’s the first time I’ve seen Cruise used in an angle like that. Nice twist.

Lethal set up for a cutter off the apron but Castle blocked and nailed a big back suplex off the apron to the floor. That was insane. Just absolutely nuts.
Exhausted, they returned to the ring and faced off. They slapped and punches the other. The beat the hell out of each other. Lethal began nailing superkicks. He missed the Lethal Injection. They went into a series of reversals until Lethal was nailed with the Bangarang and pinned.
Your winner and still ROH champion, Dalton Castle!
Just a GREAT back and forth excellent main event. Lethal is in another world right now inside the ring and Castle more than hung with him. Absolutely awesome. This may have been my favorite Castle match to date.
A thoroughly enjoyable PPV.
