ROH presents FIRST BATTLE OF A NEW ERA December 15, 2012 Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN Tonight at FIRST BATTLE we will crown our first ROH World Champion! An 8 man tournament will be held with the finals being a NO DQ match to determine a champion! Lets go to the ring for our first match. Eddie Edwards vs Mike Mondo In our first ever match Edwards and Mondo tore the house down. Mondo showed No Fear as he took it to Edwards at the start of the match but Eddie soon turned things around, and after wearing Mondo down enough (4 Tokens) hit him with a sweet tiger suplex to get the three count and advance to the next round. Roderick Strong vs El Generico Before this match Strong told Truth Martini that he did not want him at ringside and was going to win the ROH World Title on his own. Truth reluctantly stayed behind, but Roddy proved he didnt need Truth as he and Generico took it to each other. Eventually they went outside the ring and Generico got careless refusing to listen to the ref to get Strong back in the ring. Generico tossed Strong hard against the announce table and then nailed him with a nasty Yakuza Kick that sent Strong flying up and over the announce table and drawing a DQ from the ref. Hopefully Roddy will be in a condition to continue on in the tournament. Jay Lethal vs Davey Richards This was another hard hitting match, as Lethal and Richards left nothing to chance. They wailed away on each other each taking the momentum away at key points in the match. Lethal finally hit Davey with LETHAL INJECTION but Davey kicked out! After a few more minutes of back and forth Lethal hit another LETHAL INJECTION and this time Davey couldnt kick out. Jay Lethal advances in the tournament. After the match Kyle O'Reilly hit the ring to help his mentor and partner. He then got in Lethal's face not liking the way Jay treated Davey. They suddenly started going at it and then Rhett Titus ran down to join in and help Lethal out. Davey finally got up and all four men went at it in a wild brawl. Security swarmed the ring to separate the four men when Nigel McGuinness came out and made the first match for ROH TV this coming weekend. In a first round match in a tournament for the ROH World Tag Team Titles, it will be The Young Wolves vs The New ANX! Kevin Steen vs Rhino This was a very quick match. Steen and Rhino just dont like each other and it showed as they started brawling right away and once they headed outside there was nothing the ref could do. He got in the middle of Steen and Rhino trying to separate them and get them back in the ring but Rhino shoved him out of the way and that automatically caused a DQ. The Briscoe Brothers vs S.C.U.M In non tournament action we had Mark and Jay Briscoe facing Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs. Dem Boys really took it to SCUM, and it wasnt long before The Zombie Princess fell to a DOUBLE FOOTBALL TACKLE and Mark got the pin. Roderick Strong vs Eddie Edwards Strong had sufficiently recovered from El Generico Yakuza Kick and was ready to go against Eddie Edwards. Strong used all the dirty tricks he had learned and put them to good use against edwards which frustrated Eddie enough that he made a crucial mistake and go caught in the STRONG HOLD. With no where to go Eddie was forced to tap out sending Roddy to the finals. After the match Adam Cole hit the ring and got right in Strongs face about the match. Roddy just smiled and went to walk away. When Cole turned his back to tend to Edwards Roddy jumped him and they started going at it. This brought out Michael Elgin to help Strong out and Edwards then entered the fray. For the second time tonight security had to empty out and separate four men and again Nigel came out to make yet another tournament match for ROH TV. The House of Truth vs Edwards and Cole! Kevin Steen vs Jay Lethal Wow what a wicked match this was. Steen and Lethal were as stiff as we have ever seen them. They hit each other so hard I think teeth actually flew out. At one point Lethal was prime pickings (5 Tokens) and Steen hit an F-CINQ but Lethal kicked out! Lethal fought on but finally fell (7 Tokens) to the F-CINQ. ROH World Heavyweight Title Match Kevin Steen vs Roderick Strong With no rest for the weary Strong bolted down to the ring to start the Title match and layed into Steen. With Steen worn down enough Roderick Strong was true to his word and cinched in the STRONG HOLD on Steen. Steen fought like a mad man but eventually had to tap and Roddy made good on his promise to win the ROH World Title on his own! Truth Martini ran down and celebrated with Roddy as the crowd booed. There was no denying though that Roderick Strong had earned the title, and he did it his way. NEW ROH WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RODERICK STRONGThank you for joining us tonight and we will see you this coming saturday for ROH TV as we begin the World Tag Team Title Tournament. Goodnight!

ROH TV #1 December 22, 2012 Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN
Welcome to ROH TV! We have an action packed night for you as we start the tournament for the ROH Tag Team Titles, lets get to the ring.
Young Wolves vs ANX No code was honored in this match as both teams went at each other. Both Richards and O'Reilly used what dirrty tricks they could and it eventually got them the win as Davey got Titus locked into the ANKLE LOCK. Lethal tried to make the save but O'Reilly came in and knocked Lethal right out of the ring and Titus had no choice but to submit. The crowd was really not happy with the Young Wolves and they acted like it was no big deal.
Tommaso Ciampa vs Mike Mondo Ciampa was in a very foul mood and he just steamrolled over Mondo in a matter of minutes. Mondo did manage to kick out of one PROJECT CIAMPA, but that just enraged Ciampa more and perfectly executed another PROJECT CIAMPA that Mondo could not kick out of this time.
El Generico vs Mike Bennett Maria accompanied Bennett out for this match and she looked outstanding! She tried to use her beauty to affect Generico during the match but it was no use. Bennett was just to match for El Generico and after a few minutes fell to an incredible BRAINBUSTAAAHHH!!!(+5)
Rhino vs Homicide This was a very back and forth match. Homicide looked to have the match won at one point and even got away with attacked Rhino with an unseen fork. This just angered the Man Beast and he went on a tear at seeing his blood. He took it to Homicide for a little while until Cide brought the fork out again and went after Rhino in full view of the ref who called for the DQ.
House of Truth vs Dojo Bros Strong and Elgin were looking to take it to the Dojo Bros and take them out of the tournament, and that is almost how it happened. After Strong made a good showing he tagged in Elgin who got schooled by Edwards and then by Adam Cole. It didnt take long for Cole to remember what Strong and Elgin did to Eddie last week and his temper got the better of him. Elgin bailed to the floor to regroup with Strong and Martini but Cole followed him out and grabbed a chair from ringside before blasting Elgin over the back with it drawing the automatic DQ. As the House ran for their lives Eddie had to stop Cole from going after them and calm him down. I doubt this is the last we have seen of these two teams going at it.
Thank you for joining us on ROH TV folks. Next week we continue the Tag Team Title tournament and also we begin the World TV Title tournament so join us next week!

ROH TV #2 December 29, 2012 Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN
Welcome to ROH TV! Tonight we have two more matches in the Tag Title Tournament as well as start the TV Title Tournament. We will also hear from Roderick Strong about who his opponent will be for our first big show of the year Anarchy in the Second City. Lets get to the ring!
Young Bucks vs The Dynasty The Bucks came into this match looking to take it to the Dynasty but it appeared to be the other way around. Both Joey Ryan and Scorpio Sky took it to Nick Jackson and Matt never got a chance to get into the match. In no time at all Sky hit a perfect ACE CRUSHER AND ROLL INTO DRAGON SLEEPER. Matt tried to save his brother but Joey cut him off and Nick had no choice but to tap and send the Dynasty into the next round.
Eddie Edwards vs Mike Mondo Eddie made it two and 0 over Mondo in another exciting match. These two just went at each other but soon Edwards got the upper hand and never let go of it. 5 minutes and a DIE HARD later Eddie Edwards was in the next round of the TV Title Tournament.
El Generico vs Adam Cole Both Generico and Cole were out to prove they have what it takes to be the TV Champion. Tonight El Generico was just a bit better than Adam Cole. It was a back and forth match with neither man giving up the momentum for very long. Then Generico threw Cole out to the apron and nailed him with a big Yakuza Kick that sent Cole flying. Cole hit the guardrail hard and was not able to answer the 20 count. El Generico advances in the tournament.
Following the match Eddie came out to help Cole who was clearly frustrated at another loss. Then the music of the House of Truth hits and Roderick Strong comes down to the ring.
RS: "Eddie, I am soooo glad that you are already down here so I didnt have to bother calling you out. You see, I am well on my way to becoming the first double champion in ROH history. Now mind you, I do not mind one bit pulling double duty at Anarchy in the Second City, but I still need an opponent. Now Eddie that is where you come in. See, even if you get to the finals of the TV Title tournament, which you wont, but IF, then you also have the chance to be a double champion, so Yes Eddie, I am naming you my first opponent to defend my World Championship against. One more thing, please for the love of god, leave your little side kick in the back."
That was all it took for Adam Cole to bolt into the ring and try to get after Roddy, but again Adam came up short as Strong was just too quick and high tailed it out of the ring and to the back with a big smile on his face as Eddie once again had to calm Cole down.
Kevin Steen vs Rhino For some reason Rhino seemed off his game as in this rematch he had no answer for anything Steen threw at him. Steen was just all over Rhino and never let up, then made sure Rhino would not get up period with a picture perfect PACKAGE PILEDRIVER.
The Briscoe Brothers vs Philly's Most Wanted Would the outsiders from CZW come into the Briscoes house and take them out of the tournament? Not even close. The Briscoes took it to both Blk Jeez and Joker with ease, and really made this match an extended squash. Multiple CUT THROAT DRIVERS and JAY DRILLERS were dished out, but Jay and Mark kept picking their opponents up. 10 minutes in play time was over and Mark nailed Joker with a massive CUT-THROAT DRIVER to finally end this massacre and send Dem Boys into the next round.

ROH TV #3 January 5, 2013 Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN
Welcome to ROH TV! Tonight we conclude the first round of the Tag Title Tournament and continue the World TV Title Tournament. I am also told that Adam Cole has something to say and will say it tonight. Lets get to the action!
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team vs C & C Wrestle Factory This was a pretty back and forth match. Eventually Haas got Cedric Alexander outside and grabbed a chair only to smash him with it causing the automatic DQ.
Rhett Titus vs Mike Bennett No matter what Bennett did Titus kept frustrating him at ever turn. When Titus would get the upper hand he would walk over and flirt with Maria, which only disgusted her, and angered Bennett. Finally the flirting went too far and Bennett attacked, brawling all around the ring with Titus before throwing him out of the ring. Bennett ignored the refs instructions to get Titus back in the ring and dropped him with a PHOTO FINISH. That was enough for the ref to call for the DQ sending Titus into the next round of the TV Title Tournament.
Bennett was not done yet, and he let Maria get a few kicks in for good measure before throwing Titus back into the ring and hitting a couple of BOX OFFICE SMASHES. Finally Jay Lethal ran down to the ring to save his partner but the damage was already done. As medical officials got Titus and took him to the back Homicide came down to the ring and wanted to get their match started right now!
Lay Lethal vs Homicide Lethal dominated this match for a good bit of time. Then he made a mistake, throwing Homicide outside Lethal went for a plancha but Cide moved out of the way and Lethal went splat. Homicide decided to try the same thing but at the last second Lethal moved and Homicide splatted all over the outside. From there it was back and forth, with Homicide even introducing Lethal to his trusty fork. Finally Homicide got tired of playing around and hit Lethal with a mighty DA GRINGO KILLER to put him in the next round of the TV Title Tournament.
We have just received word that Rhett Titus has a minor injury and he will need at least a week to recover.
The music of the Dojo Bros hits and Adam Cole comes to the ring. He is clearly still frustrated with recent events but slightly calmer than before. Getting in the ring he gets a mic.
AC: "It seems that I am on a bit of a losing streak, through no fault of my own, but that still does not excuse the actions of one Roderick Strong! Strong you called me a side kick? I am nobodies side kick! Eddie and I are partners and friends, I am not his side kick. With that in mind, Strong, I am challanging you to a match next week! Now I know it wont be a title match since I have not earned a title match yet and Eddie is getting that shot at Anarchy in the Second City.......
The music of the House of Truth hits and out comes Roderick Strong with a big smile on his face.
RS: "Adam, adam, adam, do you really think that I am afraid of you? The Robin to Eddies Batman, the Stimpy to Eddies Ren, the Cornfed to Eddies Duckman? If you really want a match with me next week then fine, I accept your challange. I need a tune up match anyway.
AC: "For the last time, I am not a side kick! But I will be kicking your butt all over this ring next week! Now I have a tune up match of my own right now so get out here Ciampa!"
Adam Cole vs Tommaso Ciampa Well Tommaso Ciampa was no push over in this match. Cole had a hard time putting him away and almost lost in the process, but Cole did bounce back and threw Ciampa out of the ring who made a hard landing that knocked him loopy. Adam Cole simply followed him out and threw him back in before nailing a FLORIDA KEY to get the win and a bit of momentum heading into next week!
S.C.U.M vs QuackenSaw The Chikara visitors put on a clinic against S.C.U.M. and never let Corino get into the match. Jimmy Jacobs never even got to pull his spike out as much as he tried and that cost them the match in short order as Jigsaw hit a picture perfect JIG N TONIC to send QuackenSaw into the next round of the tournament.

ROH TV #4 January 12, 2013 Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN
The Briscoes vs The Young Wolves Davie and Kyle were extremely cocky coming into this match sensing that they had it in the bag, but it was not meant to be. Both Briscoes pounded them all over the ring and in short order Jay and Mark hit Kyle with a SLINGSHOT LARIAT to send The Briscoes into the final match.
Eddie Edwards vs El Generico Now this was a match. Neither man pulled any punches and the crowd was super into it. Eddie fought off two BRAINBUSTAAAHHH!!! attempts by Generico to stay in it and almost pulled out the win, but El Generico fought back and the third time was the charm as Eddie could not fight off this BRAINBUSTAAAHHH!!! and El Generico gets the win and advances to the finals of the TV Title Tournament.
Bryan Danielson vs Mike Mondo This was a very hard hitting match. Both Danielson and Mondo just laid into each other. Finally they spilled out of the ring and continued the fight both ignoring the refs instructions to get back in the ring. Finally it was too much and both guys just brawling around the ring the ref finally counted both men out.
C&C Wrestle Factory vs The Dynasty Both teams wanted to be in the finals but only one could make it in. Momentum switched back and forth quite often but in the end 3 different spears by Joey Ryan finally kept Cedric Alexander down for the count and The Dynasty advance to the finals.
Adam Cole vs Roderick Strong w/Truth Martini This wasnt so much a tune up match as it was Roddy taking advantage of the situtation. Cole was dominating and would have put Strong away with the FLORIDA KEY but Truth stuck his nose in and distracted both the ref from making the count and Cole from getting the win. With the ref dealing with Martini Strong hit Cole from behind and locked in the STRONG HOLD. Cole was able to hold out but could not overcome a Death by Roderick that got Strong the win.

ROH TV #5 January 19, 2013 Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN
The Young Bucks vs S.C.U.M. The Bucks tried the finess route against Jacobs and Corino but it just didnt work. Jacobs almost got to use his Spike also but the ref stopped that from happening. Finally in the end Corino hit Matt Jackson with a couple of diving leg drops and Jacobs cut Nick off from making the save as S.C.U.M. is victorious.
Rhett Titus vs Homicide Fresh off his one week injury Titus was looking to take it to Homicide and go on to the final match. Cide had other plans though and it was a pretty back and forth match. Pretty soon Maria came out and was looking to distract Titus but he simply ignored her attention and focused on Homicide much to the anger of Maria. Soon Cide was frustrated at not being able to put Titus away so he threw him outside and grabbed a chair. Ignoring the ref to put the chair down Homicide went on the attack drawing the DQ but hurting Titus in the process.
Rhino vs Delirious Delirious was making his return to ROH and Rhino was looking to make it a one night deal. Rhino had the match well in hand when Delirious snapped and tossed Rhino to the outside and went on the attack. He dragged Rhino all around the ring and over to the announce table where Delirious ignored the ref even more and planted Rhino through the table with a PRAYING MANTIS BOMB to draw the automatic DQ.
Kevin Steen vs Claudio Castagnoli Steen and Claudio put on one heck of a match, with nobody knowing who was going to win. Back and forth they went and Claudio almost got the duce with a RICOLA BOMB but Steen kicked out. Finally Steen got Claudio outside the ring and hit him with two powerbombs onto the ring apron and simply rolled Claudio back into the ring for the 3 count.
House of Truth vs QuackenSaw The fans were expecting a spectacular match from these two teams but Strong and Elgin had other plans and finished off QuackenSaw in no time flat. Jigsaw never even got in the ring as in 5 minutes flat Elgin was tagged in and nailed Quack with a SPINNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB to put the House into the final match and end the Chikara expermint.

ROH Presents Anarchy in The Second City January 25, 2013 Chaifetz Arena, St. Louis/Chicago, IL
Jay Lethal vs Bryan Danielson These two kicked off Anarchy in The Second City and they did not disappoint. They both beat the crap out of each other with Lethal even injuring Danielsons' leg at one point. With Bryan on the defensive Lethal went on the attack and finally managed to apply a figure four leglock that Danielson tried to fight but his leg was too hurt and he finally tapped out.
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team vs The Young Bucks The Bucks finally lived up to their ROH hype against Haas and Benjamin. All four men did things not seen in quite a long time and the bucks managed to stay in the match surviving a couple LEAPS OF FAITH, HAAS OF PAIN and a couple of PAY DIRTS. After 15 minutes Nick Jackson got hit with a move that made him just groggy enough to succumb to a PAY DIRT from Shelton to send the Bucks home losers.
World TV Title Tournament Finals El Generico vs Rhett Titus These guys pulled out all the stops since they both wanted to be the TV Champion. Back and forth they went, with Titus getting the upper hand then Generico taking that momentum away. Titus even fought off two BRAINBUSTAAAHHH!!! attempts and hit a MUFF DRIVER on Generico, but he kicked out. They even brawled around the outside of the ring both just avoiding Disqualification multiple times. Eventually Titus caught Generico with an inverted overdrive to take the win and the TV Title.
NEW World TV Champion RHETT TITUS
Rhett didnt have time to celebrate his victory though as just as soon as his hand was raised Mike Bennett and Maria hit the ring and Bennett attacked. He nailed Titus a few times then held him up so Maria could get a couple of shots in. Finally with Titus pulling himself up by the ropes Bennett got a running start and hit Titus right between the eyes with the TV Title Belt and left the ring a happy man.
Adam Cole vs Delirious Delirious did not seem interested in engaging with Cole in this match at all and Cole took advantage of that by easily handling Delirious and finishing him with a FLORIDA KEY in just 5 minutes.
World Tag Team Title Tournament Finals Gauntlet Match The House of Truth vs The Briscoes vs The Dynasty The Briscoes and Dynasty started this match off and went at it. Both teams used multiple finishers with Joey surviving a couple of DUAL SUPERKICKS and Sky survived a SLINGSHOT LARIAT. Mark even survived an ACE OF SPADES from Sky. Eventually Ryan was tagged back in and took the brunt of more punishment before falling victim to a DOOMSDAY DEVICE as the Briscoes sent The Dynasty packing back to Hollywood. Strong and Elgin hit the ring right after the three and started brawling with both Briscoes. The Briscoes had the win at one point after DUALING SUPERKICKS on Strong but Truth Martini pulled the ref out of the ring and then Elgin was tagged in. That would spell doom for the HOT as Elgin just couldnt keep the advantage and Jay nailed Elgin with a mighty JAY DRILLER to get the three and bring the Tag Titles home to The Briscoes.
NEW World Tag Team Champions THE BRISCOES
Tommaso Ciampa vs Claudio Castagnoli This was like the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object. This had to be the stiffest match of the night. Both men just pounded on each other not giving an inch. Finally they both tumbled out to the floor where the brawl resumed and both men ignored the refs instructions to get back in the ring. Claudio then took matters into his own hands and nailed Ciampa with Swiss Death to draw the DQ from the ref.
Kevin Steen vs Sami Callihan Since this was not an Ultraviolent match that CZW is famous for Sami had a hard time with Steen and Steen took advantage of that handicap. He brutalized Callihan, but Sami did make one small comeback. It was not enough however as Steen retook the advantage and planted Callihan into the mat with a PACKAGE PILEDRIVER to get the three.
ROH World Heavyweight Title Match Eddie Edwards vs Roderick Strong(c) Strong was not in the greatest of moods coming into the match since his quest to be a double champion was denied, and he took that out on Eddie. Edwards tried to mount a comeback but Strong was just not in the mood and took it to Eddie from pillar to post. Eddie survived a couple of SICK KICKS and a STRONG HOLD to stay in the match. Finally Strong hit Eddie with a Death by Roderick and was about to get the pin when familiar music hit.
From out of nowhere CM Punk and Colt Cabana hit the ring and attacked Strong and Edwards. Cabana hit Eddie a couple of times then tossed him out of the ring while Punk pounded on Strong and then brought him over to the corner only to hit Strong with a PEPSI PLUNGE! The crowd was going insane as Punk left Strong face down and collected a mic.
Punk: "Welcome to the Straight Edge Revolution! ROH you wanted Anarchy in The Second City? Well you got it! Now if you thought you could bring your little show here to Chicago and not invite CM Punk, then you were sorely mistaken. Colt and I are here for one reason, and one reason only, the World Heavyweight Title! Eddie, I am sorry about what Colt did to you, that was nothing personal, just business. Roddy on the other hand, that was personal. Strong I know you cant hear me right now in your unconscious state, so when you wake up have your pitiful little manager explain what happened. "
Punk: "I have sat back long enough and let you parade around as Champion Roddy! It made me sick to my stomach when you won the title last month, and I vowed that I would be the one to come back and take it off of you. You see Roddy, I helped build this company while you came in and reeped all the benefits. Now that is all going to change, because The Second City Saints are here, and I am not about to let you benefit anymore from MY hard work! I am sorry did I say MY hard work, I meant to say OUR hard work. There are more of US here, in fact WE have been here for awhile now, on a scouting mission as it were. So Roddy, this is your only warning, the ROH World Heavyweight Title WILL be mine. WE are here, and WE are not leaving anytime soon! I am CM Punk! I am Straight Edge! Roddy, I am better than You!"
The fans continued to go nuts for CM Punk and Colt Cabana, even breaking out into Welcome Back chants. With a final disgusted look on his face at Roderick Strong Punk and Cabana left the ring. What will the repercussions of this attack be? Will Punk have more to say, and will we find out who this WE are? Tune in to ROH TV next week to find out!

ROH TV #6 February 2, 2013 Amsoil Arena, Duluth MN
As soon as the show has started Roderick Strong storms to the ring clearly not in a happy mood. He gets a mic and paces around the ring.
RS: "Punk! You think that taking me out last week was a good idea? Let me set some things straight with you! First, I did not need your help to keep MY title, and second, attacking Eddie Edwards also did you no favors. Third, this World Heavyweight Title is not going anywhere! I have worked my butt off in this company to get this title, while you left for greener pastures my friend. You may have helped build this place, but you sure didnt stick around long enough to reep the benifits as you call it. I have been here a long time, and finally got what was coming to me. I am not about to let you walk back in and take it! In fact PUNK, what gives you the right to demand a shot at MY title anyway? You have done nothing to get at me, and I am going to make sure that you stay as far away from me as possible!"
Nigel suddenly comes out to the walkway mic in hand.
NMG: "Roderick, that is where you are mistaken. You see as man in charge around here I signed Punk and his friends to contracts, so if he wants a shot at you, then he will get one, on conditions of course. First, Punk will have a series of matches of the next couple of weeks. If he wins those matches then at the next show Midwest Showdown you will be defending the World Heavyweight Title against CM Punk!"
RS: "You cant do this to me! He has done nothing to get a title shot! I will not allow him to get a chance at MY title, do you hear me Nigel!"
Strong jumps out of the ring and continues his rant at Nigel as they head to the back and the show gets officially under way.
Delirious vs Kyle O'Reilly Delirious was all business in this match, trying to avenge his last couple of losses. O'Reilly was with him every step of the way and managed to stall Delirious' momentum a couple of times but Delirious came back and nailed O'Reilly with a BIZZARO DRIVER to get his first win.
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team vs The Briscoes Even though this was a non title match Haas and Benjamin fought like it was. In fact this was the longest match of the night clocking in at 15 minutes. Many finishers were hit and kicked out of on both sides, but on LEAP OF FAITH try by Shelton instead of landing on Jay Briscoes backs Shelton landed on the back of Jays legs injuring him. After that it was all WGTT, and Jay was no match for a HAAS OF PAIN, giving Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team a hard fought victory and possible title match down the road.
Mike Bennett vs Rhett Titus Rhett Titus came into this match looking to prevent Bennett from getting a title shot next week, and he failed. In quick fashion Bennett was all over Titus and he couldnt answer anything. Then Bennett distracted the ref and that allowed Brutal Bob to get on the ring apron and sucker punch Titus. Titus staggered forward and Bennett hit a perfect PHOTO FINISH to get the win and earn a TV Title Match next week.
Eddie Edwards vs Colt Cabana Eddie did not take to kindly to Colt attacking him and costing him his match with Strong last week and was looking for a bit of revenge. To his credit Colt tried to apologize, saying it was nothing personal, but Edwards was not hearing it. He went on the attack and never let up on Cabana. At times it seemed like Colt wasnt even trying as Edwards just bullied Colt around the ring and eventually finished him off with a DIE HARD.
CM Punk vs Davey Richards This was Punks first test on his road to a World Heavyweight Title match and Richards was looking to make an example out of Punk. The crowd was behind Punk all the way and he did not let them down. Davey almost had the match won on a couple of occasions but Punk battled back. Not long into the match Roderick Strong came out and watched from the aisle way but that did not distract Punk from the task at hand and he managed to put Davey down with a mighty PEPSI PLUNGE to get his first win. Following the match Punk was celebrating while Strong had a fit on the outside.
