This week's episode features matches from Supercard of Honor, which took place during WrestleMania weekend. Adam Cole is on commentary with Kevin Kelly.
ROH TV Title
Jay Lethal (c) vs. Jushin Thunder Liger
The two follow the code of honor, and quickly go into a chain wrestling series. Liger locks on the surfboard, but Lethal gets to the ropes. Lethal gains control shortly, but eats a big strike form Liger, who applies another surfboard. Lethal is bounced from the ring and Liger hits a dive as we go to a commercial.
Back from the break, Lethal has things going his way with a couple of elbows, but can't get the pinfall. He goes up top for the flying elbow drop, but Liger gets his feet up. The two trade strikes, with Liger coming out the better with a big palm strike and Frankensteiner before another commercial.
We're back again, and Liger eats knees and a Lethal Combination, which only gets a two count. Liger rolls out of the ring and hits a brainbuster on the floor when Lethal followed him out. Back inside the ring Lethal tries to get DQ'd by using the belt. When the ref takes the belt, Liger is distracted and get superkicked to set up Lethal Injection for the finish.
Winner: Jay Lethal via pinfall (Lethal Injection) to retain the ROH TV Championship
- We see Samoa Joe's promo from the last ROH PPV.
Ring of Honor World Championship
Jay Briscoe (c) vs. Samoa Joe
The two start off with mat work, but it quickly degenerates into a brawl, with both beating each other down in the corner. A Briscoe dropkick is answered by a Joe enziguri, then trade shots. They're really going at it. Finally, Briscoe scores a suplex to slow things down.
Joe manages to break a headlock that's applied for over a minute, but misses a clothesline and rolls out of the ring. Briscoe lands a big dive, but Joe hits him with his knee, which is injured. Back in the ring, Joe continues to sell the knee and also still uses it. Joe hits a big dive outside as we go to our final commercial.
Back from the commercial, Joe is going for a Muscle Buster, but Briscoe hits a neckbreaker instead. Briscoe goes back to strikes before landing a suplex that gets a two count, and now he's busted open. A Death Valley Driver gets a two count, but Joe reverses the Jay Driller and blasts Briscoe with a kick. A tilt-a-whirl-slam from Samoa Joe gets a two count, and a powerbomb gets the same.
Joe switches to the Boston Crab, then the STF out of the pin attempt. He transitions to a crossface, but Briscoe gets to the ropes. The two are trading shots again until Joe drops him with a clothesline. Joe goes for a Muscle Buster, but Briscoe reverses and lands the Jay Driller for the win.
Winner: Jay Brisoe via pinfall (Jay Driller) to retain the ROH World Championship
