Ian and Quinn are back with a preview of Final Battle and Final Battle Fallout and they hype the ROH Proshop.

We see highlights of Jonathan Gresham’s victory over Jay Briscoe in London.  In order to do so, Gresham sprayed Briscoe’s eyes with ink (think green mist but they called it ink).  Later that night we see highlights from Jay Lethal vs Mark Briscoe.  Gresham came out and attacked Mark, busting him open.  Gresham brings a chair into the ring and confronts Lethal.  This brings out Jay Briscoe.  Lethal and Gresham argue and shove each other.  Lethal grabs the chair and clocks Jay Briscoe, turning full heel alongside his best friend Gresham.  Lethal and Gresham lay out the Mark but the referees and security come out and separate the two teams. 

We then go to the next night and an in ring face to face with Lethal and Gresham.  Lethal tells Gresham that because of his pride and love for both pro wrestling and Ring of Honor, he wasn’t understanding Gresham’s new attitude.  From now on, Lethal and Gresham will do whatever they want.  They want the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Title.  Lethal declares that ROH’s lack of title opportunities for Gresham is a crime against wrestling.

Later that night, Gresham interferes in a Lethal vs PCO match, causing Lethal’s disqualification.  This appears to the moment Lethal had his arm broken as he’s favoring it heavily.  Lethal and Gresham run PCO into a chair. The Briscoes come out and security separates them again.
