Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for August 13, 2016

Lio Rush beats Donovan Dijak after reversing Feast Your Eyes into a crucifix pin. Dijak and Prince Nana stomp a mudhole in Lio Rush after the match. Jay White makes the save, but Kamaitachi attacks Jay White. Officials have to hold Dijak back.

The Cabinet (Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman) interrupt Dalton Castle's backstage promo. Rhett Titus tries to borrow one of Castle's boys, and Caprice Coleman says he can't protect his boys forever, but Castle says that his boys are like him and that they know what they're doing. Needless to say, The Cabinet want Dalton Castle removed from wrestling.

We see exclusive footage from earlier today where War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) are attacked by Shane Taylor and Kevin Lee.

Kenny King interviews "The Hangman" Adam Page, who says that every move he makes is for the bidding of Bullet Club, and they plan to grab any gold that they can find. He says The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) have something he wants: the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. Jay is supposed to be the most violent, but at Death Before Dishonor, the ring is his gallows, and the crowd wil see how much he can man up before he "puts his mangy ass down." Jay Briscoe shows up as if on cue and attacks Page, and backstage crew have to hold both men back.

During the commercial break, The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) proclaim they have the night off now that War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) cannot compete for the tag team titles, but Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero) show up and challenge them for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up wanting a piece of the action as well, wanting to make the match a five-star classic. Nigel McGuinness says that as much as he'd like to make this a three-way dance, there is no way he can make the match. He says Roppongi Vice have deserved a title shot, but the Bucks have not. With War Machine and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) out, he makes a match between Roppongi Vice and The Young Bucks, and the winners get a tag team title shot in two weeks.

The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) guest on commentary for the next match.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero) to earn a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Championships. After the match, The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) attack the Bucks in revenge for being superkicked during the match.

Adam Cole and Jay Lethal show up for their contract signing for Death Before Dishonor, with Nigel McGuinness moderating. Both men are allowed final words before ink is on paper. Adam Cole asks Jay Lethal if he is sure he wants to defend the ROH World Championship, saying that if he's angry now, he'll be even angrier when he takes the title from him. He says that he shaved Lethal's head to prove he can take anything from him, including the World title, because Lethal walks around thinking he's the best when it's Adam Cole who really runs the show. Lethal may be the best, but so is he, and the only thing he intends to steal at Death Before Dishonor is the title, not the show. Jay Lethal tells Adam Cole that just about every match he has had in Ring of Honor has always been about a Ring of Honor World Championship, no matter what. He says that ROH titles are the most prestigious in the wrestling business, and for the first time, it's not about a championship...it's personal. All he can think about is revenge, and he needs it every time he looks in a mirror and is reminded of what Adam Cole did to him. He has no catch-phrases or one-liners, and at Death Before Dishonor, he's coming to fight. He signs. Adam Cole makes a promise, saying that Lethal signed away the World Championship. As Cole signs, Lethal tosses a pair of scissors onto the table. Cole picks them up and looks at them. Lethal slams Cole's head on the table and both men brawl. Adam Cole picks up the world title and says it's already his, but Lethal hits a low blow and is about to take the scissors to Cole's hair when The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) pull Cole to safety. Lethal raises the World title in the air as he stares down Adam Cole and the Bucks to close out the show.
