War of the Worlds: Lowell - The Results

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Flip Gordon and Jushin "Thunder" Liger. Liger and Gordon show respect after the match, and the crowd chants "Thank you, Liger!"

Tenille Dashwood and Sumie Sakai beat Deonna Purrazzo and Skylar. After the match, Kelly Klein runs into the ring and attacks Deonna Purrazzo from behind. Skylar runs away as Klein and Purrazzo brawl, and ROH security move quickly into place to pull both women apart even as Purrazzo hits Kelly Klein with a top rope cross body.

Dalton Castle shows up. He thanks the fans for their warm welcome, then says today is special as it has been almost six months since he became ROH World Champion. Dalton says he has taken the title all over the world, but now he finds himself in Lowell, Massachusetts defending the title against Matt Taven. Unfortunately, that match is not happening. He asks The Boys to take their leave, and says he is just as disappointed as the fans are, and says that after he became ROH World Champion, he suffered an injury but refused to let it slow him down, doing whatever he could to work around them. However, when one works around a bunch of problems, those problems never go away, and he decided to see a doctor not too long ago. The doctor told him that his back is garbage, and that his problems are only going to get worse unless he fixes them now. He has been to a physical therapist every day for the last three weeks, and it has been hindering his ability to train and perform. As champion, he has always felt an obligation to perform the best that he can and be the best wrestler he can be, and if he cannot do that, then he should not be in the ring. He says the ROH World Championship, his opponent Matt Taven and the fans deserve better than that; however, he is not relinquishing the ROH World Championship, and he will quickly fix his problems and continue to kick everyone's ass, as he is still positive, happy and ROH World Champion. He then says that if he can't give everyone the match they deserve, then he will give them the brunch that they deserve. Dalton asks the crowd "Who wants some brunch?," then calls The Boys back, telling them to bring out the croissants. The Boys return with large plastic bowls full of croissants, and they toss the croissants into the crowd before they and Dalton Castle leave.

Before the next match, Matt Taven shows up with the rest of The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan), complaining about Dalton Castle saying that he is injured and having his World Championship match with him called off. He then demands that ROH management hand him the ROH World Championship, then says there is a conspiracy against him and The Kingdom and that he promises he will not leave until his presence is felt and the conspiracy is killed, and that the next time he is in Lowell, Massachusetts, he will be ROH World Champion and there is nothing ROH will be able to do about it. He then guests on commentary for the next match.

Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) beat The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan). During the match, Vinny Marseglia gets underneath the ring and drags Shaheem Ali underneath it with him. LSG goes over to where Shaheem Ali is sucked in and also gets dragged underneath the ring, apparently by Marseglia. Referee Paul Turner goes over to the same area, but he also gets dragged under. The only person left is TK O'Ryan, who was down and out on the floor as all this occurred, and after Marseglia's traditional red balloons float out from underneath the ring, Paul Turner somehow comes back from underneath the ring and tells O'Ryan to go look for everyone else. Shaheem Ali and LSG come out first, followed by Marseglia, who lets even more balloons float to the top of the arena. Later on in the match, SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) show up and successfully take back two of the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team titles out of three away from The Kingdom, distracting TK O'Ryan and allowing LSG to pin Marseglia to give Coast To Coast the win. After the match, Matt Taven says the six-man tag titles belong to them and that they are the only six-man champs in history. He then says that if SoCal Uncensored thinks they are better than The Kingdom, then he is more than happy to give SoCal Uncensored the six-man tag team title match that they deserve tonight.

Cheeseburger beats Bully Ray by count-out. During the match, Bully Ray hits three powerbombs followed by a low blow after referee Todd Sinclair takes his chain away from him and takes his eyes off Bully and Cheeseburger. After that, Bully Ray leaves the ring and stares down a fan in the front row and loses the match by count-out. After the match, Bully Ray gets back in the ring and raises Cheeseburger's hand before powerbombing him again. He then threatens to beat up ring announcer Bobby Cruiser if he plays his music again, then intimidates the time keeper before grabbing Cheeseburger and teasing powerbombing him again. He then mouths off at Colt Cabana before leaving.

Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page, "The Villain" Marty Scurll, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) beat Roppongi 3K (Sho, Yoh, Rocky Romero) despite an argument between Cody and Scurll when Scurll accidentally kicks Barnard The Business Bear in the face as Barnard holds down Rocky Romero on the outside. During the match, it is announced that Jay Lethal, "Switchblade" Jay White and Chuckie T - who were originally scheduled to face SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) in a six-man tag team match - are now scheduled to face each other in a three-way dance as The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) vs. SoCal Uncensored for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships is made official. After the match, Scurll leaves alone, irritated that Cody tagged himself in to hit the Cross Rhodes as he went for the chicken wing.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kevin Steen from the 2014 War of the Worlds tour plays during the intermission.

Los Ingobernables de Japon (EVIL, SANADA and Tetsuya Naito) beat "The Last Real Man" Silas Young, The Beer City Bruiser and Brian Milonas.

Chuckie T beats Jay Lethal and "Switchblade" Jay White in a three-way match with a jackknife pin on Lethal after Lethal hits the Lethal Injection on Jay White.

The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) beat SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) to win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships for a second time after weapons are used by both teams when referee Todd Sinclair is knocked out. After the match, Matt Taven celebrates with family in the front row.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat Los Ingobernables de Japon (Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI).
