Winners and still ROH Tag Team Champions: Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara
Just a big, bloody brawl to start the show. I know this is Dustin’s kind of match, but it was just too much for a short time feud.

Tony does the ticket sales spiel as Nigel gets ready for his promo.
Serena is in the back and says it’s time to talk about her and how she beat the hell out of Queen Aminata. She challenges Britt Baker at the Dynamite 5th Anniversary show.
Nigel is on the stage and says he challenged Bryan Danielson to a match at Grand Slam and Bryan has not answered his challenge. He says Bryan’s injury is fake and if he won’t do it for his family, he should do it for the fans.
Tony interrupts him and says Nigel’s claims are ridiculous and Bryan is not afraid of him, and is not cleared to wrestle.
Nigel says Tony is lucky because if anyone else would have said that, he would have knocked his head off. He tells Tony to go sit down and shut up. Tony obliges. Nigel says he doesn’t care why Bryan does it, he wants Bryan to meet him in the middle of the ring for the final chapter of their rivalry. He says ever since he retired that he has told everyone he was as good as Bryan, but nobody believed him.
He says only two people who know that what he is saying is true. Nigel and Bryan. And that is why Bryan has refused to answer his challenge. He knows if they meet, he will destroy Bryan and he will have vindication. Bryan is taking away the one thing he deserves, but if Bryan doesn’t show, the world will know why. He says if there is a God in Heaven, it will happen, and if it doesn’t, may the Devil hear his prayer.
