Ian Riccaboni welcomes viewers and previews the show, particularly the main event between Silas Young and Josh Woods.

Riccaboni explains the rules for the Rankings Battle Royal. Any man not ranked in a singles division is eligible to compete, and the final two men left in the ring will face off on a future episode ofROH Wrestling, where the winner will be able to enter the rankings for a division of their choice.

Rankings Battle Royal

Participants:  Mike Bennett, Mark Briscoe, PCO, Danhausen, Rey Horus, LSG, Bateman, World Famous CB, Joe Keys, Dante Caballero, Eric Martin, Ken Dixon, Sledge, O’Shay Edwards and Ryan Mooney.

Bateman attacks Mike Bennett on his way to the ring. O’Shay Edwards battles Sledge. LSG, PCO, Ryan Mooney, Joe Keys and Danhausen are also visible early on. Bateman and Bennett keep battling at ringside. Dutch of the Righteous joins the fight and slams Bennett on the ramp. Officials come to check on him before a commerical break. Bateman and Dutch leave while Bateman and Dutch are escorted to the back.

Keys eliminates Ken Dixon. Briscoe tosses Mooney over the ropes and to the floor. Eric Martin avoids elimination once, but PCO clotheslines him over the top rope. Danhausen tries to fight Briscoe and PCO, but they eliminate him. He puts on El Generico’s mask, reenters the ring, and gets eliminated by PCO again.

PCO and Briscoe chop Edwards and each other. LSG tosses Caballero to the floor. Keys eliminates World Famous CB. Briscoe and Edwards trade blows before Keys sneaks up behind CB and Briscoe to eliminate them. Sledge sends Edwards crashing to the floor. Sledge, PCO, LSG and Keys are the final four. PCO suffers a “malfunction” and dives through the ropes before he crawls back into the ring.

Sledge stares down PCO, and they exchange strikes. PCO wins the battle and shoves Sledge over the ropes. Keys and LSG instantly eliminate PCO to win the match.

Winners: Joe Keys and LSG

ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship: Shane Taylor Promotions (c) vs. Primal Fear (Matthew Omen, Gabriel Hodder and Adrien Soriano)

Before the match, Primal Fear says that the champions will regret giving them this opportunity. They say they’re hungry dogs, and they’ll only be satisfied when they win the gold. Meanwhile, Shane Taylor says this is Primal Fear’s chance to prove themselves, but they’ll soon learn that they should have kept their “puppy asses” at home.

Moses overpowers Omen early on and try to overpower each other. Moses drops him with a shoulder tackle. Kaun and Hodder tag in, and Kaun drops him with a charging forearm. Soriano calls out Taylor, and the former ROH World Television Champion tags in. “The Baddest Champion” drives Soriano into the corner, but the challenger slaps him in the face.

Taylor drills Soriano with a nasty forearm and continues to overwhelm him. But Primal Fear gangs up on Taylor after he misses a cannonball. The three men continue to attack Taylor like a pack of wolves. The trio is suddenly dominating Taylor with a flurry of cohesive offense. Soriano rocks Taylor with a kick, but the champion drops him with a clothesline.

Taylor finally tags out, as Moses enters the ring and clears house. He clotheslines Hodder to the outside, but the challengers dodge Moses’ dive off the apron, so he crashed onto the floor. Kaun hits Soriano with a gut-buster in the ring. Kaun tries to defy the numbers, but Primal Fear isolates Kaun. Soriano dives onto Taylor outside the ring, but Moses catches a diving Hodder and tosses him over the barricade.

Kaun hits a super Jackhammer onto Omen, and the Soldiers of Savagery hit their finisher on him for the win.

Winners and still ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions: Shane Taylor Promotions
