Global Wars Espectacular: Dearborn - The Results

Dak Draper beats Haitian Sensation to advance to the finals of the Top Prospect Tournament.

Josh "The Goods" Woods and "The Last Real Man" Silas Young beat The Bouncers (The Beer City Bruiser and Brian Milonas). During the match, TK O'Ryan and Vinny Marseglia show up and watch the end of the match from the stage. Woods rolls The Beer City Bruiser up for the win when their presence distracts Milonas. After the match, Silas initially turns down the post-match brew, but Woods does not. Silas ends up having a beer after Woods hands him one.

Rush beats Triton.

"Overkill" Mark Haskins shows up. He says he does not have a match tonight, but he already has his gear on and he loves competition, so he might as well come and get it. He says he came to Ring of Honor because he loved competition, and that LifeBlood (Haskins, "Overkill" Tracy Williams, Bandido) was forged in the spirit of competition and brings out the best in themselves and everyone they've been in the ring with. As for the #1 contender tournament where the winner gets a shot at the ROH World Championship, he is in it to win it, because he loves competition. As he continues to speak, Rhett Titus shows up and thanks Haskins and all of LifeBlood for restoring the honor, respect and discipline in Ring of Honor, and mentions how he was at the first-ever ROH show hoping he would be ROH World Champion. Along the way, however, he lost his way, but when his son was born, it changed his perspective on life. He then states that if Haskins does not have a match, then they might as well have one right now.

"Overkill" Mark Haskins beats Rhett Titus by submission. Both men shake hands after the match.

We hear from The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), who tell Bandido all they need to know about Jay's prowess in the ring.

The Allure (Angelina Love and Mandy Leon) shows up. Angelina says another week has come and gone with the conspiracy against them continuing, and she says that she has beaten everyone ROH has put in front of her, including Kelly Klein, and says that her victory against Klein makes her best in the world. Angelina then says nobody will give her a championship match, and that she is therefore forced to take matters into her own hands. She calls out Klein, who shows up, and Angelina tells her to give her a championship match. Klein gives her a title match right here, right now, but Angelina says she will not wrestle her in a "trashy city like Detroit[, Michigan]" and would instead wrestle her in a beautiful city like Las Vegas, Nevada before Death Before Dishonor. As The Allure leave, Klein calls Angelina's behavior "typical" before calling her a coward, but Angelina asks if a coward would shake her hand before demanding they shake on it. When Klein goes to shake her hand, she is hit in the face by Mandy Leon while Angelina lifts up the ROH Women of World Championship. Sumie Sakai runs in and goes after Mandy Leon, then fights off Angelina Love before being taken down with a clothesline. Jenny Rose then runs into the ring and forces The Allure to retreat.

Shane Taylor guests on commentary for the next match.

Kenny King beats "Hot" Sauce Tracy Williams and Jeff Cobb in a Triple Threat Match after "The Mercenary" Flip Gordon distracts Williams, allowing King to grab the tights for a schoolkid pin for the win. After the match, Kenny King runs right into a camera after rolling out of the ring, and Shane Taylor tells King that he has held the ROH World Television Championship twice and that he will not hold it for a third time.

Jonathan Gresham and Jay Lethal beat Joe Hendry and Dalton Castle following a failure to get along between Hendry and Dalton.

Villain Enterprises ("The Villain" Marty Scurll, Brody King, PCO, "The Mercenary" Flip Gordon) beat Team CMLL (Rey Bucanero, Barbaro Cavernario, Hechicero, Okumura).

Volador Jr. and Stuka Jr. beat The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Vinny Marseglia).

Before the next match, a man in a silver mask shows up and takes his mask off, revealing that he is Alex Shelley. He mentions that the last time in ROH, he was looking up at the lights, but he considers his loss against Matt Taven "a huge win" as he took Taven to his limit despite having two matches in sixteen months and only one singles match in three years. Afterwards, he realized it is a great time in pro wrestling, but at the same time, there were people like "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, "Overkill" Mark Haskins (whom he admits TNA treated like crap), Matt Taven (in a rematch), Jay Lethal and Jonathan Greaham. Gresham shows up and says that while Shelley is talking about what he wants, they were talking about what ROH needs the last time they spoke, as change needs to come and honor needs to be restored. He says that Shelley had the opportunity to do that but dropped the ball when he was needed most. Gresham says he has been here for three or four years and refuses to hand the opportunity over to him, and despite being happy with him for returning, he does not want him boring the fans with his little speech without admitting he dropped the ball. After Gresham tells Shelley he is disappointed with him and tries to leave, Shelley tells Gresham he considered calling Gresham the guy he wanted to wrestle the most and the guy he saw leading the companies, then tells Gresham he is "a douchebag." Shelley then calls Gresham a "puss," then says that while Gresham was busy playing with his action figure, picking his character from a video game roster and studying every move and nuance he made while he was changing the wrestling landscape and making Detroit, Michigan proud, he was making history. Shelley tells Gresham that if he wants a match with him, he can ask him for one instead of being a comp. He credits Gresham for improving on what he did, then says he was the one who laid the foundation in the first place and challenges him to a match in New Orleans, Louisiana. Gresham takes the microphone and almost speaks into it, but puts it down and heads to the back, leading the fans to call Gresham "octopussy." Shelley says he would be shocked if Gresham did not respond, then says that he will "whip that ass Detroit style."

"The Darewolf" PJ Black guests on commentary for the next match.

Bandido beats Jay Briscoe. Both men show respect after the match, then Matt Taven shows up and attacks Briscoe and Bandido with the ROH World Championship. Rush then shows up and forces Taven to retreat before holding up the ROH World Championship.
