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. He then says that the fans are witnessing the renaissance of Dalton Castle, and while he looks like a rainbow on the outside, he is filled head to toe with magma on the inside and he will burn the place to the ground.
The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat LifeBlood ("Overkill" Mark Haskins and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams). 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.

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. As The Allure leaves, Klein grabs Angelina by the hair and drags her in the ring. The Allure still manage to retreat anyway, and Klein calls The Allure "nothing but a bunch of bitches."

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.

Dalton Castle shows up. He thanks the fans for their warm welcome, then says today is special as it has been almost six months since he became ROH World Champion. Dalton says he has taken the title all over the world, but now he finds himself in Lowell, Massachusetts defending the title against Matt Taven. Unfortunately, that match is not happening. He asks The Boys to take their leave, and says he is just as disappointed as the fans are, and says that after he became ROH World Champion, he suffered an injury but refused to let it slow him down, doing whatever he could to work around them. However, when one works around a bunch of problems, those problems never go away, and he decided to see a doctor not too long ago. The doctor told him that his back is garbage, and that his problems are only going to get worse unless he fixes them now. He has been to a physical therapist every day for the last three weeks, and it has been hindering his ability to train and perform. As champion, he has always felt an obligation to perform the best that he can and be the best wrestler he can be, and if he cannot do that, then he should not be in the ring. He says the ROH World Championship, his opponent Matt Taven and the fans deserve better than that; however, he is not relinquishing the ROH World Championship, and he will quickly fix his problems and continue to kick everyone's ass, as he is still positive, happy and ROH World Champion. He then says that if he can't give everyone the match they deserve, then he will give them the brunch that they deserve. Dalton asks the crowd "Who wants some brunch?," then calls The Boys back, telling them to bring out the croissants. The Boys return with large plastic bowls full of croissants, and they toss the croissants into the crowd before they and Dalton Castle leave.
Before the next match, Matt Taven shows up with the rest of The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan), complaining about Dalton Castle saying that he is injured and having his World Championship match with him called off. He then demands that ROH management hand him the ROH World Championship, then says there is a conspiracy against him and The Kingdom and that he promises he will not leave until his presence is felt and the conspiracy is killed, and that the next time he is in Lowell, Massachusetts, he will be ROH World Champion and there is nothing ROH will be able to do about it. He then guests on commentary for the next match.
Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) beat The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan). During the match, Vinny Marseglia gets underneath the ring and drags Shaheem Ali underneath it with him. LSG goes over to where Shaheem Ali is sucked in and also gets dragged underneath the ring, apparently by Marseglia. Referee Paul Turner goes over to the same area, but he also gets dragged under. The only person left is TK O'Ryan, who was down and out on the floor as all this occurred, and after Marseglia's traditional red balloons float out from underneath the ring, Paul Turner somehow comes back from underneath the ring and tells O'Ryan to go look for everyone else. Shaheem Ali and LSG come out first, followed by Marseglia, who lets even more balloons float to the top of the arena. Later on in the match, SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) show up and successfully take back two of the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team titles out of three away from The Kingdom, distracting TK O'Ryan and allowing LSG to pin Marseglia to give Coast To Coast the win. After the match, Matt Taven says the six-man tag titles belong to them and that they are the only six-man champs in history. He then says that if SoCal Uncensored thinks they are better than The Kingdom, then he is more than happy to give SoCal Uncensored the six-man tag team title match that they deserve tonight.
Cheeseburger beats Bully Ray by count-out. During the match, Bully Ray hits three powerbombs followed by a low blow after referee Todd Sinclair takes his chain away from him and takes his eyes off Bully and Cheeseburger. After that, Bully Ray leaves the ring and stares down a fan in the front row and loses the match by count-out. After the match, Bully Ray gets back in the ring and raises Cheeseburger's hand before powerbombing him again. He then threatens to beat up ring announcer Bobby Cruiser if he plays his music again, then intimidates the time keeper before grabbing Cheeseburger and teasing powerbombing him again. He then mouths off at Colt Cabana before leaving.
Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page, "The Villain" Marty Scurll, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) beat Roppongi 3K (Sho, Yoh, Rocky Romero) despite an argument between Cody and Scurll when Scurll accidentally kicks Barnard The Business Bear in the face as Barnard holds down Rocky Romero on the outside. 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.

As champion, he has always felt an obligation to perform the best that he can and be the best wrestler he can be, and if he cannot do that, then he should not be in the ring. He says the ROH World Championship, his opponent Matt Taven and the fans deserve better than that; however, he is not relinquishing the ROH World Championship, and he will quickly fix his problems and continue to kick everyone's ass, as he is still positive, happy and ROH World Champion. He then says that if he can't give everyone the match they deserve, then he will give them the brunch that they deserve. Dalton asks the crowd "Who wants some brunch?," then calls The Boys back, telling them to bring out the croissants. The Boys return with large plastic bowls full of croissants, and they toss the croissants into the crowd before they and Dalton Castle leave.
Before the next match, Matt Taven shows up with the rest of The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan), complaining about Dalton Castle saying that he is injured and having his World Championship match with him called off. He then demands that ROH management hand him the ROH World Championship, then says there is a conspiracy against him and The Kingdom and that he promises he will not leave until his presence is felt and the conspiracy is killed, and that the next time he is in Lowell, Massachusetts, he will be ROH World Champion and there is nothing ROH will be able to do about it. He then guests on commentary for the next match.
Coast To Coast (Shaheem Ali and LSG) beat The Kingdom (Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan). During the match, Vinny Marseglia gets underneath the ring and drags Shaheem Ali underneath it with him. LSG goes over to where Shaheem Ali is sucked in and also gets dragged underneath the ring, apparently by Marseglia. Referee Paul Turner goes over to the same area, but he also gets dragged under. The only person left is TK O'Ryan, who was down and out on the floor as all this occurred, and after Marseglia's traditional red balloons float out from underneath the ring, Paul Turner somehow comes back from underneath the ring and tells O'Ryan to go look for everyone else. Shaheem Ali and LSG come out first, followed by Marseglia, who lets even more balloons float to the top of the arena. Later on in the match, SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) show up and successfully take back two of the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team titles out of three away from The Kingdom, distracting TK O'Ryan and allowing LSG to pin Marseglia to give Coast To Coast the win. After the match, Matt Taven says the six-man tag titles belong to them and that they are the only six-man champs in history. He then says that if SoCal Uncensored thinks they are better than The Kingdom, then he is more than happy to give SoCal Uncensored the six-man tag team title match that they deserve tonight.
Cheeseburger beats Bully Ray by count-out. During the match, Bully Ray hits three powerbombs followed by a low blow after referee Todd Sinclair takes his chain away from him and takes his eyes off Bully and Cheeseburger. After that, Bully Ray leaves the ring and stares down a fan in the front row and loses the match by count-out. After the match, Bully Ray gets back in the ring and raises Cheeseburger's hand before powerbombing him again. He then threatens to beat up ring announcer Bobby Cruiser if he plays his music again, then intimidates the time keeper before grabbing Cheeseburger and teasing powerbombing him again. He then mouths off at Colt Cabana before leaving.
Bullet Club ("Hangman" Adam Page, "The Villain" Marty Scurll, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes) beat Roppongi 3K (Sho, Yoh, Rocky Romero) despite an argument between Cody and Scurll when Scurll accidentally kicks Barnard The Business Bear in the face as Barnard holds down Rocky Romero on the outside. 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.
Chuckie T beats Jay Lethal and "Switchblade" Jay White in a three-way match with a jackknife pin on Lethal after Lethal hits the Lethal Injection on Jay White.
The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan) beat SoCal Uncensored ("Almighty" Christopher Daniels, "The Heavy Metal Rebel" Frankie Kazarian, Scorpio Sky) to win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships for a second time after weapons are used by both teams when referee Todd Sinclair is knocked out. After the match, Matt Taven celebrates with family in the front row.
The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat Los Ingobernables de Japon (Hiromu Takahashi and BUSHI).

"The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay beats Jay White. Both men show respect after the match, but after Jay White leaves, Punishment Martinez shows up and attacks Ospreay. Jay White gets back in the ring, but he does not fare any better. Martinez then leaves through the crowd.
Before the next match, Bully Ray - who appears in the upper section of the crowd - tells Hirooki Goto and Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero) that he has some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that the three of them are going to get the ass-whipping of their lifetimes, and the good news is that the match is officially a no-disqualification match.
The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and Bully Ray retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Hirooki Goto and Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero). After the match, Bully Ray starts an "ROH" chant.

Page is ejected from the ring by security.
Hiroshi Tanahashi beats Adam Cole. The crowd chants "Thank you, Adam!" as The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) get into the ring and hug Adam Cole, then the arena goes dark. We see "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega on the video screen, who says this is Adam's special moment and curtain call and wishes he could be there, but cannot. Nevertheless, he sends his special thanks, telling him that his tenure in Bullet Club and professional wrestling has been long and storied, but like all fairy tales, there has to be a hero and there has to be a villain. He then tells Adam Cole that he is fired, and that he is replaced by the man sitting next to Kenny Omega: "The Villain" Marty Scurll. The light eventually come on, and Scurll is now in the ring. Scurll takes off his mask, and opens his umbrella to reveal there is a Bullet Club logo on it. Scurll waves goodbye as The Young Bucks hit Cole with a pair of superkicks. Scrull then opens his jacket to reveal a Bullet Club shirt underneath before smacking Cole with another umbrella. Scurll then holds Cole up by the neck with the umbrella handle, and The Young Bucks - figuratively, literally and symbolically - kiss Cole goodbye.
"The Almighty" Christopher Daniels retains the ROH World Championship against Jay Lethal and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. During the match, Lethal sends Cody into Daniels, who is standing on the apron, and Daniels falls into a table. Cody kicks Lethal into referee Todd Sinclair and proceeds to kick Lethal in the groin. When Lethal goes for a Lethal Injection, Cody turns it into a Cross Rhodes, but Lethal kicks out. Cody goes for a Figure Four Leg Lock, but Daniels gets back into the ring and hits Cody with the Best Moonsault Ever to retain.

War of the Worlds 2016 - Night 1 - The Results
Might I suggest reading Voices of Wrestling's review? I had a blast reading this one as I worked on this recap.
The show starts with Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Tama Tonga, Tanga Roa) in the ring. The Club's newest member, Adam Cole, states that the Club is not afraid of repercussions because The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), Colt Cabana and Jay Lethal don't scare them. He states that they are not done with their attacks, and are about to make ring announcer Bobby Cruise their next victim when The Briscoes show up. Jay says that both sides are popular, but he and Mark are only worried about getting business done in the ring and not fooling around on the Internet before calling Bullet Club "dick riding bitches." The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) then show up, talk about how tough people from Detroit are, then suggest to the Briscoes that they both team up to take on the Bullet Club. Adam Cole butts in, asking how they're going to take them on with only four guys. Enter Adam Page, who says he'll be the fifth man. He also wants the match now, but Bullet Club gets out, with Matt Jackson saying that they're waiting until the main event as The Bullet Club doesn't "jerk the curtain."
ACH and "Reborn" Matt Sydal beat "The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser. After the match, ACH says it's time for him to go it alone, and ACH and Sydal shake hands.
Roderick Strong beats Lio Rush (who replaces Jushin "Thunder" Liger, who was attacked by Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian at Global Wars). After the match, Roddy continues to taunt Liger...who shows up and hits Roddy with a palm strike. He talks with Lio Rush, then joins commentary.
War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) declare before their next match that they are putting their titles on the line in what is originally a non-title match.
War Machine (Hanson and Rowe) retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships against CHAOS ("The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada and Gedo). After the match, The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) show up and make fun of War Machine's beards, calling them "ZZ-Flop" before saying that War Machine have never beaten them and that they were never pinned when they lost the tag titles. They challenge War Machine to a match for the tag titles in New York City this Saturday. Hanson mentions that The Addiction haven't won a match in two months, and attack their opponents every time they lose. Rowe then accepts the challenge...for later tonight.
KUSHIDA beats Dalton Castle.
Hiroshi Tanahashi and "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin beat The All Night Express (Kenny King and Rhett Titus).

Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Tama Tonga, Tanga Roa) announce that Adam Page has been invited to an early superkick party after he fails to appear with The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley). For a few minutes, the match is 5-on-4 when Adam Page gets an impressive replacement: Colt Cabana.
Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Tama Tonga, Tanga Roa) beat The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) and Colt Cabana when Adam Page, who is initally thought to be out, appears and hits Jay Briscoe with a steel chair before putting him into a table (but not through it) with the Rite of Passage. It is then revealed that Adam Page has joined Bullet Club, and he takes a noose and hangs Chris Sabin with it over the top rope
