ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship: Shane Taylor Promotions (c) vs. Dalton Castle, Eli Isom and Dak Draper
Draper and Kaun begin the match as the legal men. Kaun hits Draper with a dropkick in midair and shows off with a standing moonsault. Moses tags in, and Isom enters the match, too. Castle tags in and soaks in the fans’ cheers. He talks some trash and drives Moses into the corner. Castle sends Moses to the outside and poses for the crowd. He taunts on the barricade, and Taylor tells him to get back in the ring.
Castle hypes up the crowd, but it doesn’t save him from a nasty forefrom. Isom takes in and takes the fight to Taylor. But “The Baddest of All Time” slams him to the mat. Kaun tags in and grounds Isom. A distraction from Casle lets Draper slam Kaun to the mat hair-first.
Draper takes control, but a brief argument with Isom gives Kaun some breathing room. Isom maintains the upper hand, and Castle yells at him. Isom shoves Castle, and Draper shoves Isom to the mat. Moses drops Draper with a Spear and dives onto Castle and Isom at ringside. Draper tries to slam Taylor, but he eats a headbutt instead. The Marcus Garvey Driver earns Taylor a two count.

The boys fan Castle on the outside while Isom slams Taylor. He’s seemingly on the verge of victory, but Castle distracts him. Isom shoves Castle again, and Kaun takes advantage with a super Jackhammer. Moses trucks over Castle, and Taylor drills Draper with a knee to the face. Welcome to the Land earns Taylor the victory.

Author’s Thoughts: Shane Taylor Promotions was never going to lose this match to the untested trio of Castle, Isom, and Draper. STP looked like a cohesive unit, whereas the challengers utterly failed to coexist. All three men (Castle, Isom and Draper) shined, but the real story of the bout was tension between Isom and the duo of Castle and Draper. It seems like this story will continue, as Castle arguably cost Isom this bout.
Last Man Standing Match: Josh Woods vs. Silas Young
Woods attacks Young during his entrance and gains the upper hand early on. Young pulls the referee in front of him when Woods gets a chair, and he takes control with an Anarchist suplex on the floor. Another suplex on the floor gives Young even more momentum. Woods drives Young groin-first into the ring post. He hits Young with some running elbows and a knee in the corner.
Young drives Woods through the table with a tackle. Woods trap Young in the Gorilla Lock, and he needlessly taps out. “The Last Real Man” kicks Woods below the belt, but “The Tactical Beast” powerbombs Young onto a ladder. Young blasts Woods in the back wth a chair and slams him onto one, too. Woods drops Young with a German suplex off the apron though two tables. Young can’t answer the official’s ten count, so Woods wins the bout.

Winner: Josh Woods
Author’s Thoughts: Perhaps more than any of ROH’s talented young wrestlers, Woods is ready for his breakout moment. He has consistently turned in impressive performances, dating back to the Pure Tournament last fall. This storyline with his former partner/mentor, Silas Young has added some depth to his character. Working with a veteran like “The Last Real Man” has been beneficial for Woods, and if this is the end of the feud, it’ll be interesting to see how he fares on his own as a legitimate singles contender.
