Video package hyping Katsuyori Shibata and Wheeler Yuta for the ROH Pure Championship later tonight. Wheeler says he’s the only member of the BPCC that everyone hates. He’s okay with that because guys like Claudio and Mox have his back. Wheeler says the Pure Title meant everything to him until Shibata took it and said one head-on headshot would send him back to Japan worse than he was the last time.
-Kris Statlander vs. Diamante
Statlander hits a power slam coming out of the corner and follows up with a running knee. Diamante’s tag partner, Mercedes Martinez, makes her way to ringside, which causes enough of a distraction for Diamante to take control. Diamante chokes Statlander on the second rope. Martinez is looking for a cheap shot but can’t find it as the ref turns back around. Diamante applies a straightjacket choke but throws Statlander to the ground in frustration.
Statlander gets thrown for an overhead belly-to-belly suplex for a near fall. Diamante hits a roll up faceplant. Statlander gets the backslide, Diamante counters storm zero with a roll-up, and Statlander hits a power slam. Diamante comes back with a face-first vertical suplex for a two-count. Diamante is upset that they didn’t win and hits a lariat. Diamante goes for another one, but Statlander catches her coming in with a spinning lariat for the three count.
Winner: Kris Statlander
Post Match: Mercedes Martinez entered the ring and blindsided Statlander. Martinez and Martinez put the boots to Statlander until Willow Nightingale ran down and pulled her out of the ring to avoid further harm.
Pre-Taped Interview: Daniel Garcia is sitting in the balcony talking about his time on the indy scene in PA. Garcia said he wishes his confidence was higher as he enters the Continental Classic, but he’s lost several matches. He’s heard the talk about how he’s only in the tournament to eat pins. He says that tears away his confidence even more, but he will do his best, starting with Claudio on Collision.
-The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) vs. Duke Davis & Gannon Jones
Taven and Bennett cut a promo on the way to the ring. They claim MJF is the devil and are upset that “No Neck November” is almost over. Taven calls the crowd a bunch of melvins and states that MJF is carrying something that does not belong to him: the ROH Tag Team Titles.
Their promo lasted longer than the match. Taven and Bennett jump their opponents at the bell. Duke Davis was piledrivriven on the ramp by Bennett, and Taven hits Jones with a frog splash to score the pin. Jones & Gannon were identified as wrestlers in the independent scene in Pittsburgh; unfortunately, they stood no chance here.
Winner: The Kingdom
