Quinn McKay returns to hosting duties, thanking her fans for their support saying that her recent match in ROH might be first, but it will not be her last.

It is revealed that Matt Taven has been attacked backstage and that his ankle is hurt. Mike Bennett helps Matt Taven to the trainer's room.

Fred Yehi beats Rocky Romero in a Pure Rules Match with the Koji Clutch in 14:44.

Backstage in the trainer's room, Matt Taven tells Mike Bennett he still wants to wrestle tonight's tag team title match, saying he has previously wrestled for months on an injured ankle that was just about to break.

"The Mercenary" Flip Gordon heads to the ring. He tells Rush he is done waiting because he has him exactly where he wants him, and says that for the last year, he has seen him defend the ROH World Championship against the best in the business and that it is his turn to do what other could not and beat Rush for the ROH World Championship. Instead of getting Rush, he gets EC3, and EC3 slowly walks down the aisle before entering the ring. EC3 and flip have a brief staredown, then tells Flip "You have been warned." EC3 then walks away.

We hear from The Foundation (Rhett Titus and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams). Rhett Titus says they will make their first tag team title defense against The OGK (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett). Suddenly, Jay Lethal shows up and tells them that he has heard from Mike Bennett that Matt Taven has been attacked and is in the trainer's room, and that Matt Taven still wanting to wrestle for the tag team titles at less than 100% shows how important the titles are. Lethan then tells Titus and Williams not to take their title opportunity away from them.

The Foundation (Rhett Titus and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against The OGK (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett). After the match, Vincent is seen mocking Matt Taven on the video screen.
