Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for December 2, 2017

"The Villain" Marty Scurll beats The Beer City Bruiser. During the match, Jay Lethal watches the match from the stage. Later on in the match, The Bruiser accidentally squashes referee Todd Sinclair into the corner, and as Sinclair is down, Scurll grabs his umbrella, stares down Lethal as he heads towards the ring to stop him from getting in the ring, then hits The Bruiser with the umbrella as Sinclair comes to.

We hear from Dalton Castle, who says his match with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes should not be a big deal. He talks about his childhood where he got into wrestling. He says nobody predicted his road through ROH and where he would be now, and even though he did not win the Top Prospect Tournament, he worked to get to where he is and that nobody gave him a free ride. He wishes this was a match about who is the best, but says Cody has made this about so much more. He says he had a shot at the ROH World Championship before, but he has learned from his mistakes from that match. He then talks about how Cody attacked him after the match, and at War of the Worlds UK, then put his boys in a box and shipped them out. He says that if Cody thinks he can make him weak by taking out his boys, then he has no idea who he is dealing with. At Final Battle, Cody will walk in as the ROH World Champion, but he will be the one to kick his ass.

Next week: Dalton Castle and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes sign the contract for their match for the ROH World Championship at Final Battle.

We see footage of Jay and Mark Brisco looking for Bully Ray at the Team 3D Academy. Mark is behind the camera, and Jay is right behind him. Jay lays out two of the men in the ring, then Jay destroys some pictures in a nearby room. Jay then sees a poster listing all the injuries Bully Ray has suffered through his career, then Jay asks why Bully Ray let him and Mark take him out and what it will take to et him to come back for revenge. They then put one of the two men they laid out in the Dudley Death Drop.

It's time for Coleman's Pulpit. This week's guest is: himself. Caprice sits next to another Caprice, who says that some people have bad attitude and that he simply told Kenny King the truth. When asked if he has a personal vendetta against King and is jealous of his success, Caprice says he has nothing but respect for King and says he is TV champ for a reason, but that other people can have that opportunity. He eels he is prepared for his match for the TV title at Final Battle, as he believes the race is won not by the swift or the strong, but by the one who can endure until the end. He calls Kenny King a "ho," and says he will make him a priority and become the ROH World Television Championship.

In footage from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan).

Flip Gordon beats "Hangman" Adam Page. After the match, Flip Gordon gets laid out by Matt Jackson, who pretends to be a referee. Backstage, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes says that Flip Gordon is delusional, and that if he thinks he can take the World Six-Man titles away from Bullet Club, then he is as delusional as Dalton Castle, who thinks he can take the ROH World Championship from Cody. Cody kisses the ROH World Championship, and the show ends.
