We hear from Jay Lethal, who says it is a given that he will be in the finals of the tournament with Jonathan Gresham, as he knows how good he is and knows that they will both be ready as he tells Gresham he is doing good. We then hear from Jonathan Gresham, who says that he does not go by a strategy and lives by the moment, then says that Matt Sydal is part of a bigger problem in Ring of Honor. He says that Sydal may be one of the best high-flyers, he is taking opportunity away from someone like him who is a pure wrestler. He says that ROH should return to its roots of being a haven of professional wrestling freedom, which he says should be protected at all costs. He says that it is important that he win the Pure Championship, for he is the foundation of professional wrestling.

We hear from Fred Yehi, who says it does not matter who he faces, even if he has history with "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, as he is in the business of breaking people. We also hear from "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, who says that Yehi is a world-class athlete who belongs in ROH, and that it will be an honor to make him his next step to the Pure Championship and restoring honor in Ring of Honor.

In Block A, "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams beats Fred Yehi in 14:03 by submission on the ropes - after both men use up all their rope breaks - to advance to the Block A finals.

EC3 shows up. He asks if honor is real, for there is no honor in what we do as we are controlled for our entire lives, and our freedoms are taken every day and we lose focus on our greater purpose. He then asks if there is honor in taking those freedoms back and finding purpose, then asks if there is honor in the past as he has stood in hallowed halls by hallowed names who were great men who built a great house. He says that men are fallible and eventually conform, especially names synonymous with Ring of Honor. He says he is here to fight the greatest talent on the planet, and says that without pain and sacrifice, one has nothing, and he is willing to purify himself by pain and put the name of "Ring of Honor" to the test.

Backstage, EC3 is met by Shane Taylor, who says he has known his purpose since day one while EC3 is figuring his out, then introduces himself upon EC3's failure to mention him and tells him to wipe his feet before entering his house. Suddenly, The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) show up and confront Shane Taylor for calling ROH "his house," and referees and officials show up before things get wose. The Briscoes then challenge Shane Taylor to a six-man tag team match with them and EC3. Shane shoves Jay Briscoe, then leaves with his entourage.

We hear from Josh "The Goods" Woods, who did not expect to win by judge's decision and hopes that he has won Kenny King's respect on his way to the next round.

He says that regardless of who he faces, he is in the business of breaking people. We also hear from Josh "The Goods" Woods, who says that he did good enough to hold his own in "an awesome opponent" like Kenny King, and hopes that he earned King's respect.

We hear from Rust Taylor, who grew up in the middle of nowhere and got into athletics as he got older before learning a catch wrestliing style from the New Japan dojo. He says that he never thought about winning the ROH Pure Championship, as he felt that he had failed in professional wrestling early on. He admits he does not know what to expect from "Hot Sauce" Tracy Wiliams, but he has seen his work and knows that he fights hard, and hopes Williams is as ready as he is. We then hear from "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, who says that his work in Ring of Honor has just begun. He talks about how he went from fighting with friends in a park to finding a wrestling school and furthering his ability. He talks about the fouding of LifeBlood, which he calls a failure after it failed to bring honor back into wrestling. When he heard about the Pure Championship Tournament, he knew he had to go for it. As for Rust Taylor, he says that Taylor's conditioning is on point, but his best matches against enemies over a hundred pounds heavier than he is and that tenacity makes the fight. He also plans to take advantage of any weaknesses in his competition.

In Block A, "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams beats Rust Taylor in 14:25 with a piledriver followed by a crossface to advance in the tournament.

We hear from Tony Deppen, who says that the tournament revolves around his life and is extremely important. He says he did not do many athletics as a kid and did skateboarding more than anything else, and considers skateboarding and punk rock a big influence on his path in professional wrestling, and while he is not the biggest guy, he is influenced by some of the early alumni in ROH history. He says that while he knows the basics about "The Darewolf" PJ Black on Wikipedia, he has no Wikipedia page and Black knows nothing about him. He hopes to win the Pure Championship for his family, and says to expect a lot of wrestling and a lot of fun. We also hear from "The Darewolf" PJ Black, who was born into the business and has also trained in multiple styles, and has also trained with southern African shamans. He hopes to teach Brian Johnson a thing or two about the "pure" style of wrestling in this tournament, and while he does not know much about Tony Deppen, he is more than a high-flying wrestler and will prove that he can wrestle in the "pure" style.

In Block B, "The Darewolf" PJ Black beats Tony Deppen in 12:06 with a Crucifix Driver.

We see a vignette for Ethan Carter III.

Suddenly, Kenny King shows up, and says that in the new Ring of Honor, mediocre dude after mediocre dude shows up and cries because they want to be champion. He tells him and a few others to put their title shots as well as the Philadelphia Eagles' chances of entering the Super Bowl into the garbage, and says that he was the last man on Earth to pin Jay Lethal. After a few replays of the victory that is zoomed in to hide the fact that he used the ring ropes for leverage, he says that he got screwed out of his championship opportunity.

Antonio Cueto is in his office placing the Aztec medallions on the Gift of the Gods Championship when "The Savage" Jake Strong shows up, wanting to know why Antonio called him in. Antonio tells Strong that he has been more dominant that he has ever imagined, and at Ultima Lucha Cuatro, he has no reason not to put him in the main event, but Strong says he wants to win the Lucha Underground Championship without Antonio handing it to him on a silver platter. Antonio Cueto offers an opportunity for one of the Aztec medallions of the Gift of the Gods Championship. Strong tells Antonio he has seen the sacrifices he has fed to his son "The Monster" Matanza Cueto, and that Antonio had better save some for him. He also tells Antonio this is not his temple anymore; instead, it is his. As he says it is his, his voice sounds a little more demonic than usual.

Antonio Cueto announces that there must be a new Gift of the Gods Champion now that Ultima Lucha Cuatro is in two weeks, and that he has awarded the medallions to seven people who have proved deserving of them: Aerostar, "The Darewolf" PJ Black, Hernandez, Big Bad Steve, King Cuerno, "The Savage" Jake Strong...and Dante Fox, who has not been seen in months.

After the match, Strong eliminates nobody from the match, saying he wants all seven men in the match so he can destroy all of them. Antonio Cueto announces that next week's match for the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship will be a Seven To Survive Elimination Match, but Strong asks Antonio if that is all he's got before boasting that he will snap anyone Antonio throws at him in half.

They have had to find a new partner, and they have found a "young badass" who has a future in Lucha Underground: Sammy Guevara, who has not been seen since "The Savage" Jake Strong injured his ankle. All of a sudden, Famous B shows up, reminding everyone that he brought him to the temple via a seven-year contract with Infamous Inc., and tells Sammy that Infamous Inc. owns him and that XO Lishus and Ivelisese will be receiving a cease-and-desist letter from his lawyer. He then tells Sammy Guevara that if he wants to go to Ultima Lucha Cuatro, then he can team up with Dr. Wagner Jr. and Texano and he will be more than happy to pull them out of their house show at Tijuana, Mexico. When Famous B tells Guevara to leave the ring, Guevara responds with a corkscrew tope con hilo before tossing his contract in a trash can, placing the can on Famous B's head and superkicking Famous B in the head.

He says last week may have been the most difficult fight of his career, but it led to one of his proudest moments in his career: winning the Gift of the Gods Championship, which guarantees him a title match for the Lucha Underground Championship, which he plans to win. He goes on to say that he would be dishonoring his ancestors and his mask if he does not fight and win the title, as his tribe, the Eagle Tribe, was the most legendary of all seven Aztec tribes.

While it is a long way off until Ultima Lucha, he will defend the title against anyone who thinks they can take it from him until then, and he will not back down from any fight.
