We go to the half-way point intermission. Replays of all the Kevin Steen and Eddie Kingston drama are shown several times.
2-out-of-3 Falls match
Jay Lethal vs. Tommaso Ciampa
Lethal asks for the Code of Honor, but Ciampa slinks back to his corner and sits down on the mat. RD Evans enters the ring as his "legal advisor" and offers to shake hands for his client, but Lethal isn't having any of that, as he delivers a huge slap to Evans' face. This prompts Ciampa out of his corner as he he tackles Lethals to the ground. Ciampa is already favoring his knee, as Lethal hits a superkick and the Lethal Injection early on, but only gets a 2-count! Ciampa gets to his feet, but takes the Lethal Combination as Jay Lethal takes the first fall.
Lethal: 1 – Ciampa: 0
We get a 30-second intermission as both challengers rest up for the next fall; the crowd chants "Lethal" throughout. As the intermission ends Jay goes right back on the offense, hitting a flurry of mounted punches in the corner. The announcer's put over Ciampa's knee injury as "legitimate" as things spill outside. RD Evans gets in the referees face, seemingly trying to buy time for Ciampa to recover, who finally makes it to his feet and removes a section of the padding on the outside floor. Ciampa hoists up Lethal for the suplex, but its countered and Tommaso once again gets taken down. Lethal has controlled about 95% of this match so far.
Lethal goes for a triangle choke, but Ciampa lifts him overhead to escape before nailing a HUGE knee right to the Lethal's jaw. Project Ciampa lands, Tomasso gets the pinfall.
Lethal: 1 – Ciampa: 1
After the intermission Lethal is still knocked out on the mat. Ciampa goes for the quick pinfall as soon as he's allowed, but only gets two-and-a-half! The two competitors strungle to the top rope; slow reversals as they struggle to maintain control. Lethal knocks down his opponent and hits a double axehandle, a big neckbreaker and eventually Hail to the King. Only two! Lethal takes him to the apron, but Ciampa counters and hits a modified Celtic Knot as Lethal's head bounces off the apron. "ROH" chants break out everywhere. The referee starts his count, and unbelievably both men pull themselves back into the ring at 19! (ROH uses a 20 count)
Both men slowly make their way to their feet and hammer away with traded right hands. The crowd is fully behind Lethal at this point, but Ciampa manages to land yet another huge knee. RD Evans gets back on the ropes and causes the distraction, which allows Ciampa a low blow on his opponent! Out of nowhere Prince Nana makes his return to take out Evans, sending him crashing through the baracade. Ciampa leaves the ring to take care of Nana, but upon returning he gets caught with a big kick to the groin by Lethal, followed by the Lethal Injection for the final 3-count!
Lethal: 2 – Ciampa: 1
Winner: Jay Lethal
