Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for February 11, 2017

Special thanks to PWPonderings.com for helping me get caught up with the main event.

Cody Rhodes asks if the world is ready for "The American Nightmare." We then see Cody pressing a cigar on the Wrestle Kingdom 11 logo, see the words "Cody is coming," and hear the beginning of the Bullet Club theme, revealing that Cody is the newest member of Bullet Club.

Mark Briscoe guests on commentary for this week.

Hangman Page beats Matt Sells. After the match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) show up and superkick Sells. They are soon joined by Adam Cole and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, and the crowd chants "Welcome home." Cody and Cole "Too Sweet" each other, then Cody states that he was waited 11 years for that reception, says it feels good, then asks the Atlanta, Georgia crowd what took them so long. He then says that the delayed reception strengthens his position that Atlanta is a garbage city and a wretched hive of scum and villainy, and that when his family moved into town, they were better than everyone else here. Cody then calls out Jay Lethal, and says Lethal is a shell of his former self since Cole beat him and says he is more of a doorman than the gatekeeper of ROH. Lethal shows up, and Cody says it was no coincidence that his first ROH match was against him as he knew he could beat him and cement his reputation off of him. Bullet Club then attacks Lethal, and Bobby Fish rushes in, but he doesn't fare any better until Jay White and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) show up and clear Bullet Club members out of the ring.

After the match, it is announced that Bobby Fish has challenged Adam Cole and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes to a match as he, they and Jay Lethal are all dressed to compete. This starts an impromptu but official tag team match.

Bobby Fish and Jay Lethal beat Bullet Club (Adam Cole and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) by submission with a knee bar by Bobby Fish to Adam Cole.

Dalton Castle asks his boys if they're ready for the main event...and they're ready.

Next week: "The Almighty" Christopher Daniels vs. Jay Briscoe in the finals of the Decade of Excellence Tournament!

"The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian says he should be tickled pink for "The Almighty" Christopher Daniels, but he is scared to death, as what is an opportunity for the other seven men in the tournament is a last chance for Daniels, and that he had always known it since the tournament began and that Daniels has painted himself into a corner with his own blood in a business where he might not have any more tomorrows. He says that Daniels has put more of an emphasis in the company than anyone else, and after the tournament, he will be friends with the man who is ROH World Champion or a man who is on his way out of the business.

Mark Briscoe suddenly remembers that he has a match and gets off commentary briefly.

Mark Briscoe beats Sal Rinauro.

Bobby Fish talks about his time in reDRagon with Kyle O'Reilly and how they decided to go their separate ways and go for something different, as well as breaking every preconceived notion of what he was capable of. He says that he made the ROH World Television Championship the top title while it was his possession, and that it will stay #2 if he never takes it again.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser guest on commentary for the next match.

The Rebellion (Kenny King, Rhett Titus, Caprice Coleman) beat Dalton Castle and The Boys. After the match, The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O'Ryan, Vinny Marsaglia) show up and openly mock Castle and his boys.
