Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for September 30, 2017

War Machine (Hanson and Raymond Rowe) beat Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) and The Tempura Boyz (Sho and Yo) in a three-way Tornado Rules Tag Team Match. After the match, Raymond Rowe says everyone knows War Machine and what they are capable of...except Ring of Honor, as it has been over a year since they were screwed out of the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Last time, they gave them a title shot againt The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). They were prepared, but three hours before the match, another team showed up and were put in the match without their knowledge. He says playing nice is over, and that nobody is going to like the new War Machine. Hanson says it's been blood, guts, gore and gold throughout ROH, and that this is War Machine and world machine.

We see the TitanTron for Flip Gordon, who is up next.

Flip Gordon gets his first singles victory in Ring of Honor against Corey Hollis when Hollis' attempt to put Flip's fingers in the gap of an unprotected turnbuckle bolt fails.

"The Heavy Metal Rebel" Kazarian says he went through 19 men to earn a shot at the ROH World Championship. As much as he wants the title, his objective is not only to fulfill his destiny, but to piss off every ROH fan and official. He wants the idea of him being World Champion so sickening that Joe Koff throws up all over himself. In Atlanta, Georgia, he will become "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' new nightmare.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes retains the ROH World Championship against "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian. During the match, "The Almighty" Christopher Daniels yells at referee Todd Sinclair from the apron. "The Villain" Marty Scurll goes after Daniels, but Daniels gets the upper hand. He hands the ROH World Championship to to Kazarian to use as a weapon, but Cody turns it into an inside cradle that Kazarian kicks out of due to Daniels distract the ref. Shortly after that, Kazarian knocks Cody into Todd Sinclair, and sends Cody towards Daniels, who uses the ROH World Championship as a weapon to help Kazarian win. Cody kicks out, however. As Todd Sinclair is dazed, Scurll pushes Kazarian off the top rope and sends Daniels into the ring, where he and Cody take care of him. Kazarian pushes Cody into Scurll, who is on the apron, in a roll-up attempt that Cody kicks out of. Cody then hits Cross Rhodes to retain.
