"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up to start the show. Cody points at a man in a ski mask jumping around with a sign in his hands. He then talks about how earlier today, people thanked him. This starts a "Thank you, Cody" chant in the crowd. He says that today is the final stop on the Global Wars tour, and that tour happens to be the most lucrative and financially successful tour in the history of Ring of Honor. After wiping a dollar bill on himself to cool himself off, he says he wanted to thank everybody in the crowd, but says a tweet got under his skin, saying that the most important part of the tweet is "#WalkOverTalk." He thought that the person's tactical vest covered up this person's pot belly as well as failed drug test (an obvious dig at Roman Reigns), but it covered something much worse: envy. He says that ROH isn't an indy federation, it is a club, and everybody in the crowd is Bullet Club. This starts a "Too sweet, whoop whoop" chant. Cody then expresses his gratitude to the crowd, and has the same thing to say to the crowd that he has for Roman Reigns: kiss the ring. He then asks who wants to kiss the ring, and then picks Carey Silkin, who is sitting at the timekeeper's table. The man in the ski mask is seen behind Corey Silkin, who refuses to kiss the ring. Cody then says he will pick the best fan to not only kiss in the ring, but also stand in the ring with him. The man in the ski mask is helped over the guardrail, then the masked man gets in the ring. Cody Rhodes then decides to take a video of himself with the man for Being The Elite. The man unmasks and is none other than Dalton Castle, who has not been seen in a little while. He beats up Cody Rhodes, who is forced to run to the ring. Dalton Castle raises the ROH World Championship in the air.
"The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser beat Best Friends (Trent Baretta and Chuckie T) after The Beer City Bruiser hits Chuckie T in the back with his beer keg behind referee Todd Sinclair's back.
"The Villain" Marty Scurll beats Hiromu Takahashi with the Chickenwing. During the match, Scurll holds Daryl hostage, then tries to use the ropes for leverage during a pinfall only to get caught. As Scurll confronts the referee, Takahashi tosses Scurll's umbrella to Scurll, then tries to use the ropes for leverage during a pinfall only to get caught. Both men confront the referee before chopping each other in the chest.
The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) beat KUSHIDA and Cheeseburger. After the match, The Addiction set up a table in the middle of the ring, but before Kazarian can put Cheeseburger through it, Bully Ray shows up and puts Kazarian through it with a choke slam. He then helps Cheeseburger up, then asks for the microphone. He says he did not plan to come out and do what he just did, but you do not just pull out a table in Chicago, Illinois. Bully then talks about how, in the exact same venue in 1999, he and D-Von Dudley lit a table on fire and put Balls Mahoney through it. He then says "it's about that time for [him]," and says it is time. For the first time, he has had to worry about himself and his own health. This leads to the crowd giving Bully Ray a standing ovation, followed by "Thank you, Bubba!" Bully says it does not get any better than that, and thanks the fans, saying that Chicago, Illinois is one of the top places that he loves to wrestle at. He then kicks a piece of the broken table off, then asks a young boy named Chase to come to the ring. Tonight, Chase represents every fan that Bully Ray has ever been in front of, and says he finds it hard to thank every single person and has Chase represent everybody in the world tonight. He says "thank you," then Bully and Chase hug. He then says the table in the ring is probably the last table he will ever break, and asks him to hold the piece of the table in his hands up to show everybody in the world what he has tonight. Chase heads back into the crowd, then Bully Ray apologizes for taking the time of everyone in the back, then says that ROH was a place that he wanted to be and that he and ROH were a perfect fit. If this is his last day, then he wants to thank God that he stepped foot in an ROH ring. With this, Bully Ray - the former Buh Buh Ray Dudley - retires from professional wrestling.
Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) beat Search and Destroy (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Jay White, Jonathan Gresham).
The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) beat One Mean Team ("Number One" Brian Jackson and "Meanest in the Game" Justin Pusser). After the match, Jay Briscoe shows up, scares The Daws from ringside, then beats up One Mean Team and scares off their valet Miss Jasmine. He then takes the microphone, then tells referee Todd Sinclair to "turn them bitches around" to tell them to wipe their feet before entering his house. He then says he is in the ring to address one person: his brother Mark Briscoe. He tried to tell him that they had to get back to being the baddest tag team on the planet, and says worrying about everything else got him sitting at home with a busted elbow. He tells Mark Briscoe to ice that elbow up and heal up quickly, because it is time for The Briscoes to "take this shit over."
Shane Taylor shows up. He says he gets paid to take people out and put people down, and the bigger the fight, the bigger the check. Right now, the biggest pay-out in the game is when you get in the ring with Suzuki-gun. When Mark Briscoe got hurt, an opportunity presented itself, and he is not letting this slip away before he can cash in. Whether Jay Lethal and Kenny King like it or not, he is officially their tag team partner for this match.
Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Lance Archer, Davey Boy Smith Jr.) beat Shane Taylor, Jay Lethal and Kenny King. After the match, Suzuki sends referee Paul Turner out of the ring before reminding everybody who Suzuki-gunis.
Colt Cabana beats Toru Yano in a very comedic match that sees three turnbuckles get ripped off and Colt Cabana get his wrists taped together before winning with the Superman pin. At the beginning of the match, Cabana and Yano trade DVD's, then throw their opponent's DVD out of the ring, leading to near-falls on schoolboy pins. Yano ends up selling his DVD, while Colt gives his away.
"The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay beats Flip Gordon. Both men show respect after the match.
"The Cleaner" Kenny Omega retains the IWGP United States Championship against YOSHI-HASHI. During the match, referee Todd Sinclair is knocked out of the ring inadvertently when he unintentionally backs YOSHI-HASHI into Sinclair. After this, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and "The Villain" Marty Scurll show up. They try to interfere, but he calls them off so he can day Ten Boots. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and "Hangman" Adam Page show up for Ten Boots, but YOSHI-HASHI counter the attempt into a Backstabber. He then calls out CHAOS, who show up with Best Friends (Trent Baretta and Chuckie T) and Flib Gordon (who is dragged in by Will Ospreay) to ready a Ten Boots of their own. Omega ends up hitting YOSHI-HASHI with Ten Boots on both Bullet Club and CHAOS before hitting the Dr. Wily Bomb for a near-fall. When Omega hits One Winged Angel on YOSHI-HASHI, Sinclair is pulled out of the ring by Toru Yano, and and this leads to a sequences of signature moves from both CHAOS and Bullet Club and Nick Jackson putting Flip Gordon through a table with a 450 splash. YOSHI-HASHI goes for a Swanton Bomb, but Omega gets the knees up, hits a Shining Wizard with an exposed knee and hits One Winged Angel again to retain. After the match, Cody asks the fans if they had a good time tonight, and asks them to raise their hand if they are a life-long wrestling fans. He gets a lot of hands, and asks if they remember when wrestling became cool again in the mid-1990s, and says to remember now as wrestling has never been cooler. Bullet Club thanks New Japan Pro Wrestling, then thanks the man who might as well be called "Atlas" for carrying New Japan on his back: Kenny Omega. Omega thanks the fans for the reception and merchandise sales, and thanks the fans for beig such a joy tonight. He also announces that he is not a full-time member of the ROH roster, as he represents New JJapan Pro Wrestling by contract only. What he really represents is Bullet Club, and The Elite. He says The Elite is not what they see in the ring, but it is the fans (and haters). Omega is about to leave, but Bullet Club decides it's time to take a Bullet Club selfie only to find out that nobody in Bullet Club has a phone. Suddenly, they notice somebody familiar in the crowd: Jimmy Jacobs, who has recently been fired from WWE and has not been seen in ROH in two years. Jimmy Jacobs leads the Bullet Club selfie, then the Bullet Club apologizes for getting Jimmy Jacobs fired. Omega then leads a "Fuck The Revival" chant.
