ROH World Title Match: Michael Elgin vs Jay Briscoe

They go at it right off the bell, and Elgin stomps Jay down in the corner. Jay comes back, but Elgin catches him with a kneestrike to the head and comes off the second rope with a somersault guillotine legdrop. Jay tells Elgin to come on, so Elgin goes about crushing Jay with more hard hitting offense. The announcers, joined by Nigel McGuinness, have an interesting discussion about the toll holding the ROH World Title takes on a man as Elgin hangs Jay up in the corner and boots him to the floor. They trade forearms on the outside, and Jay lays Elgin out with a roaring elbow. Elgin responds by powerbombing Jay onto the ring apron, and the crowd gives him a big pop. I think Elgin is the only defending champion to ever be over with the Toronto crowd. Jay reverses a whip and sends Elgin into the ringpost, but Elgin picks Jay up and back suplexes him onto the ring apron. Elgin pulls a table out from under the ring, bashes Jay in the face with it, and then gives Jay an STJoe through a folding chair. They go back inside and Jay desperately tries to fight out of a waistlock, but Elgin elevates him into a bridging German suplex for 2. Jay fights his way out of the powerbomb, nails Elgin with a roaring elbow, and hits a Rude Awakening for 2. The announcers shout out Cary Silkin and mention his recent exploits on Twitter as Jay puts Elgin on the top rope, but Elgin fights him off, leaps off the ropes, and catches Jay with a Codebreaker. Oh yeah. Elgin takes Jay's head off with a clothesline for 2, Jay gets Elgin with a Death Valley Driver for 2, and both men are down. Elgin blocks the Jay Driller, Elgin hits a dragon screw legwhip, and catches Jay in the Sharpshooter. Jay makes the ropes and rolls out to the apron, Elgin goes out with him and goes to toss Jay through the table he pulled out earlier, but Jay reverses and hits a Jay Driller through the table. He quickly picks Elgin up and rolls him inside, he makes a cover, and Elgin somehow gets out at 2. Jay takes forever to go back after Elgin, but eventually he starts firing right hands into Elgin's skull as Nigel says that if Jay has an opportunity, this is it. Jay continues firing shots at Elgin, who motions for Jay to keep coming. Elgin piefaces Jay, so Jay nails more right hands, but Elgin nails Jay with the spinning backfist, hits the buckle bomb, but Jay escapes the powerbomb and hits the Jay Driller to regain the ROH World Title.

Winner: Jay Briscoe

Wow, I did not think Jay was winning the title tonight, but he has finally regained the ROH World Title he never lost, and is now only the second ever two-time ROH World Champion! Holy heckity heck, this is good to see. Elgin shoves the referee off as he gets to his feet, and instead of following the Code of Honor, he snatches the belt out of Jay's hand...and puts it around the new champion's waist. Wow, totally shocking outcome, but good stuff.

We see a video package hyping Matt Sydal's return to ROH on 9/27 in Wheeling, West Virginia.

And as if all that wasn't enough, it's...MAIN EVENT TIME!

ROH World Tag Team Title Match (2/3 Falls): reDRagon vs Young Bucks

O'Reilly and Matt do a bunch of lucha stuff to start, then reDRagon gets tired of that and start beating the crap out of the Bucks. The Bucks turn things around and send both Fish and O'Reilly into the barricades, then they double hiptoss O'Reilly and hits the double cartwheel dropkick. O'Reilly gets a hockey stick from somewhere and hits Nick with it, but the Bucks come right back with a double dive through the ropes. Fish avoids the double double team in the corner and reDRagon takes over on Matt, hitting the Decapitator for 2. Bucks hit O'Reilly with the neckbreaker over the knee, then they dump Fish to the floor and Nick wipes both of them out with a springboard moonsault. Fish tackles Matt into the barricade, but Nick is able to hold his own against both of them and hits Fish with a springboard facebuster before taking O'Reilly out with a moonsault off the apron. Nick goes to the top rope and hits Fish with a Swanton for 2, then he goes for the kill on Fish but O'Reilly comes in and hits Nick with the hockey stick behind the referee's back and Fish covers to win the first fall.

reDRagon leads the Young Bucks 1-0.

There's no break between falls, so reDRagon keeps up the pressure on Nick, hammering him with MMA strikes including a nasty running diving knee to the back of Nick's head by O'Reilly. Nick finally hits a superkick and sends both of reDRagon out to the floor and makes the hot tag to Matt. He takes Fish out with a diving dropkick through the ropes, then he and Nick hit a nice series of double teams on O'Reilly, Nick boots Fish's face off as Matt covers O'Reilly for 2. O'Reilly hits the Regalplex for 2, but the Bucks have a superkick party and give Fish the spike Tombstone on the floor and double superkick O'Reilly for good measure. They roll Fish back inside and hit a superkick/package piledriver combo on Fish to win the second fall.

The Young Bucks tie the match at 1-1.

The fans chant Kill Bucks Kill as they go for More Bang For Your Buck, but Fish bails to the floor as the Bucks work O'Reilly over and hit the running powerbomb/enziguiri combo. O'Reilly double legwhips both Bucks and gives Matt a brainbuster for 2, then he goes to a cross armbreaker. Fish comes off the top rope with a diving headbutt to Matt, knocks Nick to the floor and takes him out with a somersault senton, but Matt rolls O'Reilly to his back for 2. O'Reilly gets a guillotine choke for 2, Fish stops Nick from breaking it up, but Matt northern lights suplexes O'Reilly for 2 as O'Reilly turns it into a front guillotine. Nick finally takes Fish out with a superkick and comes off the top rope with a 450 to O'Reilly, but he kicks out at 2. They go for the springboard double Tombstone on O'Reilly and hit it, but Fish pulls the referee out of the ring before he can count 3. Nick takes Fish and the ref out with a dive, and they go for More Bang For Your Buck on O'Reilly, but O'Reilly catches Nick in a triangle choke as Matt and Fish go through a table. O'Reilly changes it up to a cross armbreaker and Nick taps out.

Winners: reDRagon

Hell of a main event to finish off an absolutely top notch night of wrestling. Tommaso Ciampa comes out of the crowd after reDRagon leaves and lays waste to the Young Bucks, hitting Matt with Project Ciampa and then pulling up a corner of the mat and drops Nick on his head on the bare wood underneath as the show goes off the air.

All Star Extravaganza VI was an absolutely awesome show. The Jay Briscoe title win caught me completely off guard but in a good way, AJ Styles and Adam Cole blew the roof off the place, the main event was excellent, and everything on the show was awesome at a bare minimum. This rivaled Wrestlemania 30 in terms of just being an awesome overall show, and AJ-Cole gave us a MOTYC to boot.

Highly recommended show, and I'll be back with a postgame audio in the Elite section in the next couple of days. Thanks for reading and supporting PWInsider.com!
