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

Punishment Martinez beats Josh "The Goods" Woods to move on to the Four Corners Elimination Match for the ROH World Television Championship at Final Battle.

Mark Briscoe says people are calling him an idiot for competing tonight despite being injured, but he has earned his title shot and he will win the ROH World Television Championship. Jay Briscoe says he knows how he feels about this, but he will be in his corner tonight. Mark is okay with this.

Jay Lethal shows up. He says he is here to get something off his chest, and things have not been going great for him lately. It seems that every time he tries to get focused and back on the road to becoming ROH World Championship, someone or something comes along and sidetracks him, which frustrates him as he is always asked what is next for him. He says he is the greatest in the world and has done some things that others in the locker room have dreamed about. All that is next for him is becoming a two-time ROH World Champion. As much as it pains him to admit, the current ROH World Champion is "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. He says Cody has not been here that long and not may have defeated him, but on the top of that list is his name. Suddenly, the lights go off, then "The Villain" Marty Scurll shows up. He says he is not here to fight, bicker or cause a spot of bother, as he likes Jay Lethal and thinks he is all right. He could not help but overhear him talking about goals, and talks about his goals for when he came to Ring of Honor. He wanted the best competition the company had to offer, and he wanted to wrestle all the best wrestlers in the world. Not surprisingly, Jay Lethal is one of them, but the Jay Lethal he wanted to face is not the one who stands in front of him who wants to shake hands, but the one who was not afraid to bend the rules, whether it be a handful of tights, put feet on the ropes, or cut corners where he had to. He wants a vicious, ruthless Jay Lethal that can be described as villainous. Jay Lethal says that he and Scurll are nothing alike, as he is the greatest in the world, and the only difference between them is that he did it because he wanted to and Scurll does it because he has to. Scurll questions if he does not have to do these things, and says the Lethal he is looking for is the same one who was dual champion. He asks if he does not want to be that guy anymore, then he might as well put the clown costume with the shtick back on (a reference to his old "Black Machismo" gimmick from TNA/Impact Wrestling), because it was at least entertaining. Lethal approaches him, but Scurll stops him and says that the fans who chanted for him because he was a badass are now chanting for him and wearing "Villain Club" T-shirts. He says that at the end of the day, money talks, and at Final Battle, he will face Lethal as his hand-picked opponent. Lethal tells him he accepts his challenge, and says that Scurll seems to know the "old" him well. Since Scurll is a smart man who does his studying, he created this "Villain," and tells him to be careful what he wished for, as he will get the badass he asked for and even see some new tricks.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes says "Hangman" Adam Page does not care about Dalton Castle's moment; all he cares about is protecting the fraternity of Bullet Club. Page says The Boys are gone forever, and that Dalton Castle will not kiss Cody's rring as he will not make it to Final Battle.

Kenny King retains the ROH World Television Championship against Mark Briscoe before the match can even start after Jay Briscoe tosses in the towel. After the match, Punishment Martinez shows up from out of the crowd and attacks Kenny King. Shane Taylor shows up, then Martinez and Taylor brawl in the ring. Kenny King tries to get back at Martinez only to be pulled off by Taylor, then "The Last Real Man" Silas Young and Cheeseburger get in the ring. This starts a five-man brawl which ends after Kenny King hits everyone else with a tope con hiro to the outside.

It's time for Coleman's Pulpit. This week's guest is Shane Taylor. Taylor says he has always been violent, and he is taking opportunities instead of waiting for them. As for whether or not he is a hired hitman, he asks Colleman what it looks like, and says he is okay with doing other people's dirty work for a price. He also asks "What's honorable?," then says he could either pander to the fans and wait for someone to throw him a bone, but he decided to take things into his own hands. As for what makes him tick, he has a family to take care of and a three-year-old daughter whom he wants to have a better than he had that is free of constant violence, and he will do anything he has to do to whoever he has to do it to in order to provide that better life.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) guest on commentary for the next match.

Best Friends (Trent Barrett and Chuckie T) beat The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian). The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) are seen watching the match on the stage. Later on in the match, Daniels tries to introduce a chair into the match, but War Machine (Hanson and Raymond Rowe) show up and take it away from him. This distracts Daniels and allows Chuckie T to get the win. After the match, Chuckie T
