MAIN EVENT: The Kingdom vs. Dalton Castle & The Boys

Matt Taven says this is just a preview of what will happen at Lowell, MA when he takes the title from Dalton Castle. We cut back to see The Kingdom pay Shane Taylor to be their enforcer for this match.

Dalton and The Boys enter as we see a in-set promo from Dalton saying that he hopes The Kingdom is ready for what him and The Boys are bringing to the table.

Bell rings as Dalton and T.K. O’Ryan start the match. TKO chant spells “T-K-O” and Dalton fires back by spelling “B-O-Y-S.” TKO slaps Dalton and rolls to the outside. He comes back to receive a Castle shoulder block and a belly-to-back. TKO quickly tags in Vinny Marseglia. The two talk trash and Dalton amateur takedowns Vinny. Vinny backs him into the corner to deliver some running forearms. Dalton tags in Boy #2, but both join in on the attack of Vinny. Boy #2 sends Vinny into the corner and they exchange tags to get a dropkick for a quick pin attempt. Boy #1 charges at Vinny but Vinny kicks free and gains the upper hand. He picks #1 up by the hair and drags him to Kingdom’s corner to tag in Taven. Taven wants Castle and the tag is made. The two stare one another down as Castle begins rubbing onto Taven. Taven goes after Dalton but Dalton eventually calf kicks him in the corner. We cut to break.

Dalton goes to dive on the outside, but TKO makes the save by grabbing his leg. Taven gets back in the ring and TKO grabs Castle’s leg again. Taven stomps on Dalton’s injured hand as the boys come in to defend their man. They go after Vinny and TKO. Taven grabs both by the hair, but the two drop kick him down. Kingdom eventually takes advantage and Boy #2 gets isolated. We cut to see Shane Taylor ringside as The Kingdom continue the assault on Boy #2.

Vinny tags in TKO as #2 fights both offer. TKO hits him with a pop-up spinebuster. Taven gets the tag and hits #2 with a kick to the face. Daniels runs down and Coleman makes mention that Daniels and Taylor are friends but Taylor shoves Daniels away. As this is going on Boy #2 and Boy #1 switch spots. Boy #1 tags in Castle who comes in attacking TKO & fending off Vinny. Castle is hot fire as his spinebusters TKO. Then he begins throwing the Boys out of the ring over and over again onto the Kingdom. Crowd goes wild. Boys come back into the ring to Irish whip Castle into TKO, but Taven kicks him in the back and hits him in the hand with the ROH belt. Taven hits Boy #1 with a Climax good enough for the win.

Winners: The Kingdom via pinfall after 14:00

Afterwards, The Kingdom gang up on The Boys and Castle. A chair enters the equations as they pin down Dalton and wedge his hand into the chair. Taven comes down from the top rope to stomp on Dalton’s hand and that ends the show.

Solid main event that really played up The Kingdom’s cheating ways and set the table for tonight’s Lowell, MA main event. Taven’s facial expressions are top notch and The Kingdom are one well-oiled, heel machine. Episode 346 as a whole was full of good action and fun side stories (like Taylor’s “hand for hire” and Gresham laying some ground work for making a name for himself). A diabolical way to end the show that sets up some interesting threads in Dalton vs. Taven.
