Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 4, 2017

It is announced that Mark Briscoe vs. Kenny King for the ROH World Television Championship is off due to Mark Briscoe injuring his elbow during Global Wars: Pittsburgh.

Matt Taven guests on commentary for the next match.

The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan) beat The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) and Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG). After the match, Taven joins Marseglia and O'Ryan in the ring. Varseglia says there is a conspiracy against them in ROH, but a couple of weeks ago, they pinned and beat Search and Destroy (Jay White and Johnathan Gresham). TK O'Ryan mentions says he has come back from a leg injury and The Kingdom has yet to get a rematch for the six-man tag team titles. He then says The Kingdom are top talent and demand a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Championships.

Flip Gordon says The Young Bucks' ribs are out of control, and if they have a Bullet Club, then it is time for him to create an army out of a group of guys who have nothing to lose and everything to gain just like him.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up. He says if you tell one lie, all your truths become questionable. Tonight, he promised a World title match, as there is a certain individual that the ROH faithful want to see him face. He tells Ian Riccobonni to come to the ring. Cody knows he is not interested in facing him, but wants to know who he wants to see face him. Ian says "Dalton Castle." Cody asks the crowd if they want to see that and see that right now, then tells the fans that Dalton Castle is not here tonight. However, he introduces the #1 contender to the title: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's own Ryan Nova.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes retains the ROH World Championship against Ryan Nova with the American Deathlock. At the beginning of the match, Ryan Nova removes the Ring of Honor from Cody's finger with his mouth. This leads to a short but chaotic match that ends with the American Deathlock. Suddenly, Dalton Castle then shows up, and asks Cody if that is all he has. He then says he speaks for everybody when he says that everyone is disappointed, as he thinks Cody is a good wrestler; however, as ROH Champion, his performances have been lackluster. He asks Cody why he could keep doing that when he could give everyone here the match that they want to see. Cody asks if this is Wrestling 101, and says that they do not need to do this match. With his lineage and connections, he can help you as he guarantees that Dalton Castle beat him, and asks him why he would waste his time. He can make one phone call and - in an obvious jab at NXT - get Dalton Castle one of those development contracts, and he can come back when he is ready, as all his friends have already done it and it is a guaranteed contract. Cody says he will walk right past him, and he knows it is what Dalton Castle wants. He tells Dalton Castle to think about it. Dalton attacks Cody from behind and gets him in the ring, where he hits Bang-A-Rang. Castle says he's thought about it, and says he loves it here and he will take his title away.

Jay Lethal says that as of late, people have been asking him what is left for him in Ring of Honor. He says that there are still a few things he has left to do, but when he stops and thinks about it, all that matters is being the greatest wrestler in the world. He says only one thing proves it: holding the ROH World Championship. He promises he will hold it once again.

Mark Briscoe confirms his elbow is broken, but he has earned his shot at the ROH World Television Championship, and he wants his match next week. Jay Briscoe shows up and asks him if he wants that title shot, and asks how many times he has went for the title, and tells him they are a tag team.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against War Machine (Hanson and Raymond Rowe). During the match, The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian show up, with Daniels shooting Silly String at War Machine while Kazarian makes fun of the crowd chants. War Machine chases Daniels out of the ring, and Chris Sabin pulls the win out from under War Machine with a jackknife pin.

Next week: Best Friends (Trent Baretta and Chuckie T) vs. The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian)!
