ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championship Match:The Righteous (Bateman, Dutch, Vincent) (C) vs. Shane Taylor Promotions (Kaun, Moses & Shane Taylor)
Shane Taylor Promotions made an effort to regain the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships in a brawl with The Righteous. Although they came close to winning in the closing stretch of the match, their willingness to do anything to score the victory became their downfall. O'Shay Edwards interfered in an attempt to secure victory for the stable, but accidentally struck Shane Taylor! It was Vincent who secured the pinfall victory on Kaun after hitting the Acid Drop.

Winner: Jay Lethal at 15:09 via pinfall
ROH Pure Championship MatchJosh Woods (C) vs. Timothy Thatcher
Timothy Thatcher refused to adhere to the Code of Honor at the beginning of the match. He opted to instead tell Josh Woods that he doesn't respect him and will be taking his championship.

Winner: Timothy Thatcher at 12:16 via submission
ROH World Women's Championship MatchDeonna Purrazzo (C) vs. Athena

Bandido was nearly victorious after a wicked Spanish Fly had Gresham seemingly down and out. Bandido ascended to the top turnbuckle and came down with a Frog Splash in tribute to the legendary Eddie Guerrero, but Gresham managed to get his knees up and capture Bandido, manipulating his limbs until he was able to lock him in a grounded Octopus Stretch in the center of the ring! Bandido tried to fight through it, but had to tap out! Jonathan Gresham becomes the 1st ROH Undisputed World Champion!
Winner: Jonathan Gresham at 30:11 via submission
