Final Battle 2021 - The Results



The Righteous (Vincent, Bateman, Dutch) beat Shane Taylor Promotions (O'Shay Edwards, Moses, Kaun) to become the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions!

Backstage, Quinn McKay interviews Jay Lethal, who says there is more at stake than winning and losing, as the person who wins his match has the potential to be the last ROH World Champion, the honor of which Lethal says will belong to him.

It is announced that the match between Jonathan Gresham and Jay Lethal tonight will be for the original Ring of Honor World Championship. (This is because Bandido has tested positive for COVID-19.)

Backstage, Quinn Mckay interviews Rocky Romero, who is here to represent New Japan Pro Wrestling and also guest on commentary. VLNCE UNLTD (Brody King, Homicide, Tony Deppen) shows up, and Brody tells Rocky he has done too much to just be on commentary for the last show, and proposes that he still has some violence up his sleeve. After some further coaxing by Homicide, Rocky Romero takes up the offer.

Maria Kanellis-Bennett guests on commentary for the next match.

Miranda Alize and The Allure (Mandy Leon and Angelina Love) beat The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) and Chelsea Green. Both teams hug after the match.

We hear from EC3. Suddenly, Tyler Rust, Eli Isom and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams show up, and Eli Isom asks him if he still feels honor is real before asking him to join them in their match against VLNCE UNLTD (Brody King, Homicide, Tony Deppen) and Rocky Romero. EC3 accepts.

Danhausen guests on commentary for the next match.

The Bouncers (The Beer City Bruiser and Brian Milonas), World Famous CB, Flip Gordon and "The Darewolf" PJ Black beat LSG, Demonic Flamita, Will Ferrara, Sledge, and Max the Impaler in a ten-person tag match.

Dragon Lee beats Rey Horus.



We hear from Eddie Edwards, who thanks the fans who have supported Ring of Honor throughout the years and giving him and many others a chance to show what they could do in a wrestling ring. He says that ROH will be missed and hopes that ROH will come back better than ever.

Dak Draper guests on commentary for the next match.

Rhett Titus beats Dalton Castle, Silas Young and Joe Hendry in a four-way match with a drop kick to Dalton Castle to become the ROH World Television Champion!



We hear from "Hangman" Adam Page, who says that he enjoyed his time in ROH and talks about how ROH helped him make wrestling a full-time job and allowed him to travel the world. He sends everyone in ROH his well-wishes.

Brian Zane guests on commentary for the next match.

Before the next match, "The Mecca" Brian Johnson says that while it is not known what the future will hold for ROH, there are twenty years of the best wrestling on the planet to look back on. He then tells everyone to get bent before saying it is "Mecca vs. Everybody."

"The Technical Beast" Josh Woods retains the ROH Pure Championship against "The Mecca" Brian Johnson by referee stoppage following a guillotine choke on the top rope.



We hear from Jimmy Jacobs, who says that when he thinks about Ring of Honor, he thinks about his ten years there and how he and the rest of the wrestlers would spend all night talking about how they would take over the wrestling business and make it their business. He says that it would not be possible without Ring of Honor, and asks the fans to enjoy ROH one more time.

Shane Taylor beats Kenny King in a Fight Without Honor. Both men hug after the match.



We hear from CM Punk, who admits that while he is not up to speed on the future of ROH, he is a big part of its past. He says that his ROH was "lightning in a bottle" and that if this is the end for ROH, the fans should be "damn happy" that it happened. Punk says that he looks back on his time in ROH with pride.

Quinn McKay guests on commentary for the next match.

Rok-C retains the ROH Women's World Championship against Willow. After the match, the crowd boos Rok-C and cheers for Willow before the two of them shake hands. Afterwards, "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo shows up and says that Rok-C has what has truly been hers and that she wants it. She says that she can supply the "anyone" and "anywhere" to Rok-C's "anyone, anywhere, anytime," and says that after she beats Mickie James for the Impact Knockouts Championship at Hard To Kill, she will challenge Rok-C to a winner takes all match. Rok-C shakes hands with Deonna.



We hear from Adam Cole, who says that thanks to ROH, he discovered other kinds of professional wrestling in the world and decided to become a professional wrestler as well as the wrestler he wanted to be.

VLNCE UNLTD (Brody King, Homicide, Tony Deppen) and Rocky Romero beat EC3, Eli Isom, Tyler Rust and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams in an eight-man tag match. After the match, EC3 says that today, we pay homage to the past, then asks Eli Isom to stand. EC3 takes Eli's hand and pulls him up, then says that they stand in a ring of honor yet there is no honor in what they do, and yet they do it for the fans. As he talks about how everyone gives their blood, sweat and tears while the corporate types keep their office jobs, he mentions Dak Draper and "The Mecca" Brian Johnson, who both show up. EC3 reminds Johnson that he has lost his job and his match tonight and that something like this makes someone like Johnson dangerous. He says that in order to free one's self, one must control their narrative. Suddenly, two men in hoodies show up on the ramp, one of them being Westin Blake (formerly Wesley Blake in WWE). EC3 says he knows what it has been like to be fired, and says that if Draper and Johnson can suffer for him physically, he can give them their freedom, but they have to fight. EC3 then says "Free The Titan," then Adam Scherr - formerly known as Braun Strowman in WWE - shows up and attacks everyone else in the ring alongside the two men in the hoodies. EC3 says this is not an invasion; this is an awakening. Adam Scherr then takes Eli Isom with him backstage, while the men in the jackets take Draper and Johnson with them.





We hear from The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), who look back fondly on their time in ROH and thanks Cary Silkin for everything over the years.

Before the next match, The OGK (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) come out with Maria Kanellis-Bennett while the pre-Matt Taven led Kingdom theme plays. Cary Silkin also guests on commentary for the match, and the entire Briscoe family is seen in the front row.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat The OGK (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) with three Jay Drillers, a Doomsday Device and a Froggy 'Bow to become ROH World Tag Team Champions for the twelfth time. After both teams shake hands, Jay Briscoe says this may be the end of an era, but it is not the end of The Briscoes, and if any tag team wants a piece of them, they're right here. Suddenly, the lights go out, and when they come back on, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) are on the apron, and they get in the ring and brawl with The Briscoes. Security and backstage staff quickly move in to try to stop the brawl.





We hear from Bryan Danielson, who talks about his time in ROH and says that without ROH, he would not be where he is today. He also talks about how Final Battle has a place in his heart, then thanks ROH as well as the fans, as the fans made the shows what they wre. He hopes that ROH will stick around.

Jonathan Gresham beats Jay Lethal with the chickenwing to win the original Ring of Honor World Championship as the locker room watches the entire match from ringside. (The match was originally Gresham vs. Bandido for the ROH World Championship, but Bandido tested positive for COVID-19 and could not compete as a result.) After the match, Jordynne Grace and Baron Black congratulate Gresham.



It is announced that in April 2022, Ring of Honor Wrestling will return.
