After the match, Michael Elgin makes his way to the ring. Elgin takes the mic and he says there is a term in wrestling and in life that gets thrown around too easy and that is respect. In Ring of Honor, there is only one way to get it and that is to earn it. In Pittsburgh, he came out and saw both men give it all to be the Top Prospect in Ring of Honor. He saw them fight tooth and nail because Ring of Honor represents the Best Wrestling on the Planet.
Ray came out at the 12th Anniversay Show and showed him that he has what it takes to earn his respect. Hanson beating Rowe earned his respect. When you come to Ring of Honor, you set your sights on one thing . . . championship gold. Michael says that he has their backs and he sees tag team gold around their waist in the future.

Sinclair screwed Eddie and Homicide just like they did to Kevin so why not join them.
Kevin wants to make sure that he heard Eddie right and he appreciates the offer, but the last time he was part of a group it did not work out that well. That other group were better people than Eddie and Homicide so he respectfully declines.
Eddie tries to keep Steen in the ring while he leaves and referees and Nigel come out. Nigel says that he has been around the block a few times. If they want to fight, they can have a fight but it will be under Ring of Honor rules.

We are back and Nigel McGuinness is in the ring. He says that in New Orleans, on the biggest weekend on the wrestling calendar, Ring of Honor will present Supercard of Honor. The World Title will be defended.
Jay Briscoe interrupts Nigel and he comes to the ring with his waist jewelry.
Nigel says that he cannot think of a time when there were so many credible contenders for the World Title and Jay is one of those contenders.
Jay says that he appreciates being called a credible contender. Jay reminds Nigel that he beat Adam Cole in San Antonio. Adam Cole got beat by the man who never got beat for the ROH World Championship. The way he sees it, the belt he has on his shoulder is the ROH World Championship. He truly believes the he is the World Champion. Ain’t no one beat him. His belt holds the true lineage of the World Championship.
You have two guys claming to be the World Champion and there can be only one.
Nigel agrees and he says that he wants to do away with the controversy over who is the real Ring of Honor World Champion. There is only one way to do it. They need to hang each belt above the ring so high there is only one way to win the match . . . with a ladder. At Supercard of Honor, the lineage of the World Title will be restored in Ladder War.
Adam Cole’s music plays and he makes his way into the arena. Cole says absolutely unbelievable. He thought it was impossible for Nigel to get any more stupid, but he was proven wrong. Adam Cole says in Pittsburgh, Nigel decided to give the man who pinned him a title match so the three team tag match ended up being a four on two handicap match. Because he is the best wrestler on the planet, he overcame that roadblock and beat Chris Hero.
In San Antonio, Jay gets a tainted victory over him and Jay has bullied Nigel into believing that there is a dispute over the World Title. There is no dispute because there is only one World Champion and his name is Adam Cole. If he has to beat Jay within an inch of his life to prove Jay is not the true champion and that Adam is, let’s do it.
Adam says that it is funny that Jay thinks he has the true adavantage but in reality, he does not know what is about to hit him.
Michael Bennett comes to the ring and he hits Jay with a low blow. Mark Briscoe comes to the ring with a chair and Cole and Bennett leave the ring.
