Kelly Klein retains the ROH Women of Honor World Championship against Stacy Shadows. Both women show respect after the match, then The Allure (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, "The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon) attack Shadows from behind and brand her with the Allure logo.

It is announced that Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan will no longer be allowed at ringside during Matt Taven's singles matches following what happened in Night Two.

Before the next match, Dalton Castle shows up and says he was watching in the back and hoping to be entertained, and says Cheeseburger and Clark Connors will not do. He tells them to go away as he will give the fans something better. Cheeseburger says he didn't come to the ring to hear Dalton complain; he came here to wrestle. If Dalton wants to be in the ring, they can have a three-way match. Castle sarcastically thanks Cheeseburger for bringing up his deviated septum and says neither man deserve a star like him. Cheeseburger says it is good he is not in the match, as he would beat him in sixteen seconds like Rush did. Castle ends up taking part in the match after those words.

After the match, The Briscoes and Bullet Club brawl their way to the back, and the brawl has to be broken up. Afterwards, "Overkill" Mark Haskins shows up and says he is gutted after what happened to PCO, and says that if PCO would have won, he would have been PCO's first title defense. Due to The Kingdom's actions, he has no match tonight, but he does have a solution: face Taven for the World title later tonight, assuming Taven is the fighting champion he wants to be. Taven teases it, Taven tells him no. Haskins says that when Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis left, they left with Taven's balls. Taven gets angry, and Haskins uses this to egg him on further into defending the title. Taven says he did not win the title in a raffle and says he earned it by making people like Haskins look like fools when they stepped up to him, and if Haskins wants a title shot, he's got it.

Rhett Titus shows up. He says he is not impressed with the bodies of the crowd or the locker room, and says he will show everybody a real body because nobody wants to get in the ring with him. He then proceeds to show his three best poses in a "flexhibition," but when he goes for the third pose, he is interrupted by Flip Gordon.

Matt Taven retains the ROH World Championship against "Overkill" Mark Haskins after Bully Ray shows up and asks Haskins how his wife is doing, distracting Haskins and allowing Taven to hit the Climax to retain. After the match, Taven dedicates the match to everyone who says he sucks, and asks what that makes the rest of the people that he beat if he sucks. He then says that he keeps Jay Lethal's nameplate on the World title to remind him of who had the last laugh, and after proclaiming that the belt will one day be renamed in his honor, says that no matter who he faces, even if they are a monster like PCO, will bow down to him. All of a sudden, PCO shows up and powerbombs Taven before hitting him with a Tombstone Piledriver and a top rope moonsault. PCO then holds the ROH World Championship up in the air.

Before the next match, Kenny King shows up to tell the fans that he is the #1 contender for the ROH World Championship after winning the Honor Rumble, but that the moment was ruined after The Great Muta blinded him by spitting mist into his eyes. He then says that his other senses have become razor sharp after losing his sight. He somehow can tell after feeling Amy Rose walk back and forth on the stage that she is wearing a blue dress, and that ring announcer Bobby Cruise is wearing ladies' underwear and that Jay Lethal is fifteen pounds heavier. He then announces that he has found a doctor that is able to restore his eyesight, but until then, he is here for one more round of blind commentary.

He then says he is feeling fantastic and free after going "Boy-less," and that he made no mistake ditching The Boys, saying he won the ROH World Championship, the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships and the Soaring Eagle cup without them and that he does not want to be dragged down by The Boys ever again.

After the match, Bully Ray shows up and compliments The Briscoes on their win before telling Williams that he saw his video on Twitter and says it was him who laid out Tenille Dashwood backstage and that he plans to do the same to LifeBlood one by one. Since Juice Robinson is currently in Japan and David Finley is currently injured, that leaves Haskins and Williams, and he tells Haskins to tell his wife that he said hello. Haskins grabs a steel chair and gets in the ring, and Bully Ray tells him to get out of the ring before he wraps his chair around his face. When Haskins and Williams refuse to back down, Bully Ray retreats.

Kelly Klein shows up. She says that she promised to be a fighting champion for the people, and she is here knowing that this is her first opportunity to defend the title in Canada. Klein demands the best that Toronto, Ontario, Canada has to offer, and the challenge is answered by The Allure (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, "The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon). Angelina gives Klein credit for being a good fighting champion, and commends her for her championship victory at G1 Supercard, but warns Klein that she is a six-time champion and that she is in her backyard before teasing a match between herself and Klein for the ROH Women of Honor Championship only to state that she is a permanent resident of the United States and is no longer a resident of Canada. She decides to let Klein defend the title against her when they are back in the States, and tells her she is not having a match tonight.

Matt Taven retains the ROH World Championship against PCO. During the match, TK O'Ryan and Vinny Marseglia show up, and their presence serves to distract not only PCO, but referee Todd Sincalri as Matt Taven drives PCO eye-first into Vinny Marseglia's ax, cutting PCO's face open. Later in the match, Marseglia takes Destro hostage, and PCO puts Marseglia through a table. As this is going on, O'Ryan hands Taven a purple railroad spike behind referee Todd Sinclair's back, and Taven hits PCO in the face with it before Sinclair can turn back around. PCO kicks out, but it is not in time, and Taven retains the ROH World Championship as he, O'Ryan and Marseglia run to the back. PCO's face cut has to be tended to after the match.

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.

Global Wars: Chicago - The Results

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up to start the show. Cody points at a man in a ski mask jumping around with a sign in his hands. He then talks about how earlier today, people thanked him. This starts a "Thank you, Cody" chant in the crowd. He says that today is the final stop on the Global Wars tour, and that tour happens to be the most lucrative and financially successful tour in the history of Ring of Honor. After wiping a dollar bill on himself to cool himself off, he says he wanted to thank everybody in the crowd, but says a tweet got under his skin, saying that the most important part of the tweet is "#WalkOverTalk." He thought that the person's tactical vest covered up this person's pot belly as well as failed drug test (an obvious dig at Roman Reigns), but it covered something much worse: envy. He says that ROH isn't an indy federation, it is a club, and everybody in the crowd is Bullet Club. This starts a "Too sweet, whoop whoop" chant. Cody then expresses his gratitude to the crowd, and has the same thing to say to the crowd that he has for Roman Reigns: kiss the ring. He then asks who wants to kiss the ring, and then picks Carey Silkin, who is sitting at the timekeeper's table. The man in the ski mask is seen behind Corey Silkin, who refuses to kiss the ring. Cody then says he will pick the best fan to not only kiss in the ring, but also stand in the ring with him. The man in the ski mask is helped over the guardrail, then the masked man gets in the ring. Cody Rhodes then decides to take a video of himself with the man for Being The Elite. The man unmasks and is none other than Dalton Castle, who has not been seen in a little while. He beats up Cody Rhodes, who is forced to run to the ring. Dalton Castle raises the ROH World Championship in the air.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser beat Best Friends (Trent Baretta and Chuckie T) after The Beer City Bruiser hits Chuckie T in the back with his beer keg behind referee Todd Sinclair's back.

"The Villain" Marty Scurll beats Hiromu Takahashi with the Chickenwing. During the match, Scurll holds Daryl hostage, then tries to use the ropes for leverage during a pinfall only to get caught. As Scurll confronts the referee, Takahashi tosses Scurll's umbrella to Scurll, then tries to use the ropes for leverage during a pinfall only to get caught. Both men confront the referee before chopping each other in the chest.

The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) beat KUSHIDA and Cheeseburger. After the match, The Addiction set up a table in the middle of the ring, but before Kazarian can put Cheeseburger through it, Bully Ray shows up and puts Kazarian through it with a choke slam. He then helps Cheeseburger up, then asks for the microphone. He says he did not plan to come out and do what he just did, but you do not just pull out a table in Chicago, Illinois. Bully then talks about how, in the exact same venue in 1999, he and D-Von Dudley lit a table on fire and put Balls Mahoney through it. He then says "it's about that time for [him]," and says it is time. For the first time, he has had to worry about himself and his own health. This leads to the crowd giving Bully Ray a standing ovation, followed by "Thank you, Bubba!" Bully says it does not get any better than that, and thanks the fans, saying that Chicago, Illinois is one of the top places that he loves to wrestle at. He then kicks a piece of the broken table off, then asks a young boy named Chase to come to the ring. Tonight, Chase represents every fan that Bully Ray has ever been in front of, and says he finds it hard to thank every single person and has Chase represent everybody in the world tonight. He says "thank you," then Bully and Chase hug. He then says the table in the ring is probably the last table he will ever break, and asks him to hold the piece of the table in his hands up to show everybody in the world what he has tonight. Chase heads back into the crowd, then Bully Ray apologizes for taking the time of everyone in the back, then says that ROH was a place that he wanted to be and that he and ROH were a perfect fit. If this is his last day, then he wants to thank God that he stepped foot in an ROH ring. With this, Bully Ray - the former Buh Buh Ray Dudley - retires from professional wrestling.

Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) beat Search and Destroy (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Jay White, Jonathan Gresham).

The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) beat One Mean Team ("Number One" Brian Jackson and "Meanest in the Game" Justin Pusser). After the match, Jay Briscoe shows up, scares The Daws from ringside, then beats up One Mean Team and scares off their valet Miss Jasmine. He then takes the microphone, then tells referee Todd Sinclair to "turn them bitches around" to tell them to wipe their feet before entering his house. He then says he is in the ring to address one person: his brother Mark Briscoe. He tried to tell him that they had to get back to being the baddest tag team on the planet, and says worrying about everything else got him sitting at home with a busted elbow. He tells Mark Briscoe to ice that elbow up and heal up quickly, because it is time for The Briscoes to "take this shit over."

Shane Taylor shows up. He says he gets paid to take people out and put people down, and the bigger the fight, the bigger the check. Right now, the biggest pay-out in the game is when you get in the ring with Suzuki-gun. When Mark Briscoe got hurt, an opportunity presented itself, and he is not letting this slip away before he can cash in. Whether Jay Lethal and Kenny King like it or not, he is officially their tag team partner for this match.

Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Lance Archer, Davey Boy Smith Jr.) beat Shane Taylor, Jay Lethal and Kenny King. After the match, Suzuki sends referee Paul Turner out of the ring before reminding everybody who Suzuki-gunis.

Colt Cabana beats Toru Yano in a very comedic match that sees three turnbuckles get ripped off and Colt Cabana get his wrists taped together before winning with the Superman pin. At the beginning of the match, Cabana and Yano trade DVD's, then throw their opponent's DVD out of the ring, leading to near-falls on schoolboy pins. Yano ends up selling his DVD, while Colt gives his away.

"The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay beats Flip Gordon. Both men show respect after the match.

"The Cleaner" Kenny Omega retains the IWGP United States Championship against YOSHI-HASHI. During the match, referee Todd Sinclair is knocked out of the ring inadvertently when he unintentionally backs YOSHI-HASHI into Sinclair. After this, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and "The Villain" Marty Scurll show up. They try to interfere, but he calls them off so he can day Ten Boots. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and "Hangman" Adam Page show up for Ten Boots, but YOSHI-HASHI counter the attempt into a Backstabber. He then calls out CHAOS, who show up with Best Friends (Trent Baretta and Chuckie T) and Flib Gordon (who is dragged in by Will Ospreay) to ready a Ten Boots of their own. Omega ends up hitting YOSHI-HASHI with Ten Boots on both Bullet Club and CHAOS before hitting the Dr. Wily Bomb for a near-fall. When Omega hits One Winged Angel on YOSHI-HASHI, Sinclair is pulled out of the ring by Toru Yano, and and this leads to a sequences of signature moves from both CHAOS and Bullet Club and Nick Jackson putting Flip Gordon through a table with a 450 splash. YOSHI-HASHI goes for a Swanton Bomb, but Omega gets the knees up, hits a Shining Wizard with an exposed knee and hits One Winged Angel again to retain. After the match, Cody asks the fans if they had a good time tonight, and asks them to raise their hand if they are a life-long wrestling fans. He gets a lot of hands, and asks if they remember when wrestling became cool again in the mid-1990s, and says to remember now as wrestling has never been cooler. Bullet Club thanks New Japan Pro Wrestling, then thanks the man who might as well be called "Atlas" for carrying New Japan on his back: Kenny Omega. Omega thanks the fans for the reception and merchandise sales, and thanks the fans for beig such a joy tonight. He also announces that he is not a full-time member of the ROH roster, as he represents New JJapan Pro Wrestling by contract only. What he really represents is Bullet Club, and The Elite. He says The Elite is not what they see in the ring, but it is the fans (and haters). Omega is about to leave, but Bullet Club decides it's time to take a Bullet Club selfie only to find out that nobody in Bullet Club has a phone. Suddenly, they notice somebody familiar in the crowd: Jimmy Jacobs, who has recently been fired from WWE and has not been seen in ROH in two years. Jimmy Jacobs leads the Bullet Club selfie, then the Bullet Club apologizes for getting Jimmy Jacobs fired. Omega then leads a "Fuck The Revival" chant.

Global Wars: Columbus - The Results

Before the next match, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian says tonight is the best night of the fans' lives as The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels, Kazarian) are here and they are here for their viewing pleasure. With that said, he tells the fans to stop with the false cheers, as they do not respect The Addiction. He sees numerous Young Bucks and Bullet Club T-shirts in the crowd, and tells anyone wearing a Bullet Club shirt to show up in the parking lot after the match so they can kick their asses. He then says that none of them will show up and tells the fans to eat a dick. Daniels says the success of Ring of Honor is a direct results of what The Addiction has done for professional wrestling, but instead of true respect, teams like The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) are hiding and defending their titles against teams like The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). If the Machine Guns won't defend against them, then they will take the other half of Search and Destroy and kick their asses, and when they are done with them, the fans will have permission to worship them.

The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) beat Search and Destroy (Johnathan Gresham and Jay White).

Before the next match, Kenny King asks if there are any Ohio State Buckeyes fans in the building. He says every Buckeye he has seen has been tough, strong and resilient: three words that describe his tag team partner for tonight: Mark Briscoe. They were supposed to take "Hangman" Adam Page and "The Villain" Marty Scurll tonight (whom he calls "The Bullet Club B-Team"), but pro wrestling is a dangerous game and he dislocated his shoulder in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and will not be able to wrestle. Nevertheless, he is a fighting champion, and if he has to fight in a 2-on-1 handicap match, so be it. When he is done with Page and Scurll, Page will be waking up teaching high school kids and Scurll will be "Party Marty" all over again. Page and Scurll show up, and Scurll says he and Page from being a B-Team, and says King couldn't even get a date on a reality show. He says King cannot face them one-on-one, much less two-on-one, and says King does not have a tag team partner because nobody wants to team with him and that nobody likes him. Scurll then says he is a fair man, and offers the fans a chance to team with Kenny King, and that they don't even care if it's a commentator. Colt Cabana takes off his headset and takes that as a challenge, and much to the aggravation of Page and Scurll, who tell Colt to do his job, King starts a "Boom Boom" chant, leading to Colt replacing Mark Briscoe in the match.

Jay Lethal beats Hiromu Takahashi. Before the match begins, it is made official that Colt Cabana will be tagging with Kenny King against Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page and "The Villain" Marty Scurll).

The Big Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) guests on commentary for the next match.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) retain the ROH WOrld Tag Team Championships against "The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser.

Sumie Sakai beats Holidead in the latter's ROH debut.



Shane Taylor beats Josh "The Goods" Woods.

Colt Cabana and Kenny King beat Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page and "The Villain" Marty Scurll).

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes retains the ROH World Championship against KUSHIDA. At the beginning of the match, Cody chews the crowd out for not being loud enough, saying that Boston, Massachusetts and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania are "miles ahead of this dump." This actually causes the crowd to get louder.

Bullet Club (Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Best Friends (Trent Baretta and Chuckie T) and Flip Gordon. During the match, "Handman" Adam Page, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and "The Villain" Marty Scurll yank referee Paul Gordon out of the the ring. The Best Friends take advantage of Paul Gordon being knocked out by pulling a table out of the ring and trying to choke slam Nick Jackson through it, but Matt saves Nick and both of the Jackson brothers and Kenny Omega superkick Best Friends off the stage and into the table. This then leads to a superkick duel between Flip Gordon and Bullet Club that leads to a Meltzer Driver with the jump spiking Gordon into the mats occurring from the stage. After a combination One Winged Angel and Meltzer Driver, Bullet Club retains the six-man titles.

Global Wars: Pittsburgh - The Results

Hiromu Takahashi beats Mark Briscoe by referee stoppage when Mark Briscoe injures his elbow rolling out of the corner very early in the match.

Before the next match, The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) show up not dressed to wrestle. Kazarian wishes everyone a happy Friday the 13th, and says there are "some very scary looking ladies in the building." They also announced that they are not dressed to wrestle as they are not going to wrestle. Kazarian then recalls the crowd cheering him when he pretended to join Bullet Club, and says the fans are only here to drink, throw streamers and get themselves over. As a result, they are not wrestling tonight because the fans do not deserve to see them wrestle tonight. As they leave, Daniels says they are not dressed to wrestle, but that they do not need to be to beat Best Friends (Trent Barretta and Chuckie T). After asking the crowd if they want to see that, he tells them to "eat a dizz" as they are not wrestling tonight and the fans can all go to Hell. Shortly after The Addiction leaves, The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) show up, and talk about how every time the Cleveland Browns come to town, they kick the Pittsburgh Steelers' asses and how the fans will have something in common with the Steelers as none of them want anything from The Dawgs. Titus then says this is why they will beat Best Friends tonight, and that nobody wants anything from them.

Best Friends (Trent Barretta and Chuckie T) beat The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara). During the match, Will Ferrara pulls out a chain, but Cheeseburger runs in, takes it away from Ferrara and proceeds to jump on the apron and distract Rhett Titus. This allows Best Friends to hit the Dudebuster for the win. After the match, Best Friends almost leave the ring irritated with Cheeseburger, but they end up hugging in the end.

Jay Lethal beats Jay White.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan). After the match, The Motor City mahine Guns are attacked by The Addiction ("The Almighty" Christopher Daniels and "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian) until Best Friends (Trent Barretta and Chuckie T) run into make the save. Kazarian is clotheslined out of the ring, while Daniels is at the mercy of both teams in the ring and falls victim to a double choke slam from Best Friends. Afterwards, Best Friends hands the ROH World Tag Team Championships back to The Motor City Machine Guns.

Bully Ray shows up. He talks about how he concussed at Death Before Dishonor, and says he does not know what his future is and that he does not know if he will ever wrestle again. Last week, he got a call from the Ring of Honor executives telling him not to show up and take care of himself, and he considered it for a little while until he found out what towns the Global Wars tour would be in and realized that there was no way he was not going to show up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The fans chant "E-C-DUB," and he finds it interesting that the fans would chant that, as the Golden Dome is nearby and that passionate wrestling cities like Pittsburgh will always mean something to him. In 1996, he wrestled for the very first time in Pittsburgh, and remember when Troy Palomalo jumped over the guardrail and Speared him. He feels that it was necessary to show up and make eye contact with the fans, and says that you will not meet a lot of wrestlers who appreciates the fans like he does. He says that Pittsburgh has always been a great town for him regardless of where he was working at the time, and that this is his first time in Pittsburgh with ROH and it tops all the other times he has been here. He hopes that he gets to see the fans again one day, but he does not think it will happen. In case this is the last time, he thanks the fans and says "it's been a hell of a run."

"The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon, Deonna Purrazzo and Jenny Rose beat Sumie Sakai, Faye Jackson and Britt Baker after Faye Jackson taps to a Fujiwara arm bar from Purrazzo.



Kenny King retains the ROH World Television Championship against Matt Taven, KUSHIDA, "Hangman" Adam Page, Josh "The Goods" Woods and Punishment Martinez.

War Machine (Hanson and Raymond Rowe) beat Killer Elite Squad (Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Archer).

Minoru Suzuki beats "The Last Real Man" Silas Young with a steel chair and the help of Davey Boy Smith Jr. after Suzuki pushes Silas into referee Todd Sinclair. The Beer City Bruiser fights Davey Boy Smith Jr., but he misses a somersault senton from the apron.

Before the next match, "The Villain" Marty Scurll says that since they are in "Bullet Club country," they might as well make it a little more interesting and make it a title match. The match is officially made a math for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships under "Bullet Club Rules."

Bullet Club ("The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega, "The Villain" Marty Scurll) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against CHAOS (Toru Yano, YOSHI-HASHI, "The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay) after Toru Yano submits to Marty Scurll's Chickenwing.
