Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) beat The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) on the pre-show after Mike Bennett kicks out of Boot Camp.

Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) beat LeeJ ("Big Shotty" Lee Johnson and "The Judge" EJ Nduka) on the pre-show. After the match, Gates of Agony shake hands with LeeJ only for LeeJ to lay them out.

Atlantis Jr. beats Mansoor. During the match, Danhausen crawls out from underneath the ring, takes off his mask and punches Mason Madden in the crotch after Atlantis Jr. kicks Mason Madden off the ring apron. After the match, Mason Madden headbutts Atlantis Jr., but Danhausen gets back in the ring, curses Madden, suplexes him, pours the jar of teeth in his mouth and knees him in the face.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho. Jericho calls New York City his hometown and says he has had a great few days revisiting it. He says he has come home and has done so much championing of the city for so many years that he has brought a positive spin to it, then says that the people of the city love him and that he has a responsibility to defend and retain the ROH World Championship against Matt Cardona and leave as champion.

"The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata beats "The Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington by submission with a sleeper hold.

Before the next match, QT Marshall shows up with a New World Order-style entrance, and Jay Lethal reprises his "Black Machismo" gimmick.

Jay Lethal beats QT Marshall. During the match, Jeff Jarrett shows up and hits Aaron Solo with his guitar after Solo stops "Sensational" Karen Jarrett from slapping him.

Before the next match, Red performs Red Velvet's entrance theme as Red Velvet makes her way to the ring.

Red Velvet retains the ROH Women's World Television Championship against "Legit" Leyla Hirsch after going underneath the ring to pull out a turnbuckle hook. When the referee takes the turnbuckle away, Red Velvet then produces a wrench and knocks Leyla out with it behind the referee's back to retain.

Before the next match, Nigel McGuinness answers "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty's open challenge for the ROH Pure Championship. McGuinness takes the microphone and says that if they are going to do this, they will do this under the old Pure title rules. Shane Taylor says this is "Taiga Style vs. Tired Style" and says that if Moriarty fights him, he will be arrested for elder abuse. McGuinness says he never had Shane Taylor pegged for a coward, and says that his facial hair is no excuse for "talking like a pussy." Shane Taylor says "you are what you eat," and Nigel says this makes Shane Taylor "Lee Moriarty's asshole." Moriarty tells Shane Taylor to let him do the match, and Shane Taylor says that if he wants it, he has it. McGuinness then dismisses the judges at ringside, allowing them to watch the match from the back. With old school rules, closed fist to the face costs the offender a rope break.

"Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty retains the ROH Pure Championship against Nigel McGuinness by submission with the Border City Stretch. During the match, when Lee Moriarty loses his second rope break due to the use of a closed fish, Shane Taylor demands - and gets - a second referee on the outside to watch McGuinness. While this causes Moriarty to get caught cheating from using the ropes for leverage, it also helps save him at the cost of his last rope break. After the match, Moriarty raises McGuinness' hand in a sign of respect.

"The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) in a Double Bullrope Match.

Komander beat sWillie Mack, AR Fox, Brian Cage, Mark Davis and Blake Christian in a Survival of the Fittest Match to become the ROH World Television Champion! Mark Briscoe eliminates "The Machine" Brian Cage with a piledriver, and soon after that, Blake Christian eliminates Mark Davis following a low blow.

We hear from Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Sho. They challenge for the ROH World Tag Team Championships at Wrestle Dynasty. Sho says they will keep the titles in Japan while Kanemura claims that they will sanitize "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara with Japanese whisky. Sho says that Guevara and Rhodes are not in the same league as they are.

Before the next match, Matt Cardona shows up from outside of the arena, while "The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith come out to a New York City-themed entrance complete with dancing showgirls.

"The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho retains the ROH World Championship against Matt Cardona after "The Redwood" Big Bill - who shows up near the end of the match to hit Cardona with a big boot behind the referee's back - distracts the referee so that "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith can hit Cardona with the ROH World Championship. Cardona's parents are in the front row during the match. After the match, Big Bill and Bryan Keith attack Cardona, then Bandido shows up and fights them off.

Athena shows up with a Two-Face gimmick for the next match. Also, Lexy Nair introduces Athena during the championship introductions.

Athena retains the ROH Women's World Championship against Billie Starkz. During the match, Athena takes out referee Mike Posey with a tope suicida, then Lexy Nair hands her a microphone to use it as a weapon. Billie blocks the microphone by kicking it out of Athena's hand before planting her on the mat, and Posey is able to come to and count the near-fall in time. Posey is still down for the most part, and as Billie has Athena on her shoulders, Athena removes a middle turnbuckle before hitting a reverse hurricanrana. Billie charges at Athena, but Athena dodges, causing Billie to hit the exposed turnbuckle and allowing Athena to retain after hitting the O-Face.
