The show starts off with highlights from Adam Cole’s world title victory over Jay Lethal at The Death Before Dishonor PPV.
In the arena. The Bullet Club arrive and head to the ring led by The new ROH world champion Adam Cole. In tow with the new champ is Hangman Page, Tama Tonga, Tanga Roa and Yujiro Takahashi. Cole takes the mic in ring and states that when The Bullet Club makes a promise. They keep it. He told everyone that he’d be world champ again and now he is world champ for a second time. Cole realizes that he is now a target as champion but he doesn’t care who the next group of challengers are. He proclaims that he is going to be the greatest ROH world champion of all time.
Jay Lethal’s music hits and he enters the stage. The fans chant for him. Lethal says it’s nice to know that the fans still love him and that he still hates Cole. Jay tells Adam that if he thinks their feud is over. That he is dead wrong. Cole laughs at and mocks Jay by saying that Lethal’s comment is code for “Please give me a rematch”. Adam tells Jay that he will always be better than him. He can tell that Jay wants to go after him but tonight is the champ’s night off. If in the future, Jay comes after him. Lethal is going to have to go through The Bullet Club. Jay responds and says that he will let Cole have his night off and celebration but to remember that he has friends too.

Exclusive footage is shown from last weeks ROH TV main event of The Addcition and The Young Bucks.
The Addiction arrive at ringside and start griping with Kelly and McGuinness. They say that the footage is doctored to make them look bad. That Nigel chopped it up on his laptop. That the only footage they should have shown is them retaining the titles. The Addiction accuse Nigel of libel and slander and that he will hear from their lawyers…. As they leave. Kevin Kelly recaps the recent “trilogy of evil” storyline in ROH involving Kevin Sullivan, BJ Whitmer, Steve Corino and last weeks debut of Punisher Martinez. A video package airs chronicling the history and back story. The story goes that Kevin Sullivan was tasked by King Curtis to anoint a new “Purple Haze”. Sullivan’s two sons are Steve Corino and BJ Whitmer. Whitmer has accepted his role of evil while Corino has refused. So Sullivan has decided to kill one of his sons in Corino. So to help him and Whitmer do it. The Punisher has been called upon for the task.
Kelly and McGuinness once again hype next week’s 6 man tag main event and also announce a TV title match with Bobby Fish defending against Katsuyori Shibata. They call it a can’t miss show.
