Segment 2:
We get a promo from Jimmy Jacobs backstage who talks about the words that Tyler Black had to say against him last night at Night 1 of Tag Wars. Jimmy Jacobs says that he believes Tyler has this entire thing confused. He says that Tyler is no different than who he was years ago when they ran together and he may have the entire ROH fanbase tricked but he doesn't have him tricked. Jimmy Jacobs says that he knows for a fact that the Age of the Fall is still alive and well and it will still be alive and well as long as Tyler continues to trick everyone into that he's some "messiah" - Jacobs says that he'll gladly accept the challenge for Final Battle. He plans to bring everything he's got to get that rough side once again out of Black so the world can see him for the mad man he really is and the ROH crowd will turn their back on Tyler, the same way that everyone did him.

Singles Match:
Christopher Daniels vs. Michael Elgin
The two men both have something to prove here. Christopher Daniels has had quite the disappointing run since coming back into ROH and Elgin is still very much a rookie in his ROH tenure and is still really looking for that breakout moment. The two of them continue to one up one another until finally the bell rings and we come to a time limit draw.
DRAW VIA 20-MINUTE TIME LIMIT DRAW

Segment 4:
The crowd boos as the bell rings and the two have to come to a draw as both men are out of breath and sweating. Elgin reaches his hand out to shake the hand of Daniels and Daniels can be seen clearly plotting something in his eyes but ultimately does quite the unbelievable for that moment which is ... actually shaking the hand of Michael Elgin and saying "Thank you." before quickly walking to the back as Elgin stands in the ring and gets cheers from the crowd.

Segment 6:
Kevin Steen celebrates with the world heavyweight championship as the crowd boos. He cuts a promo while trying to catch his breath and says that they can boo all the want but they have nobody to blame for this but that idiot El Generico. He brings up the destruction that they all caused at Glory By Honor and how Colt Cabana may be concussed too and again, there's nobody to blame but El Generico. All he had to do was leave ROH and this wouldn't have been nearly as bad. But now that he has the world championship and can feel he's reaching his full potential, this will never end until ROH ceases to be under the control of SCUM.
ROH North American Champion Roderick Strong makes his way down to the ring much to the surprise of everyone.
Roderick warns Steen and says that this has gone on long enough and he needs to back off Generico.
Steen says that Strong has a lot of nerve coming down here after what he said about Generico considering that the man to blame for all of this after Generico would be he, Roderick Strong, the man that was pinned in the main event of the 10-man tag at the PPV.
Steen doubles down on his comments and even points out that the "Second rate" champion is on a bit of a losing streak it seems, now being pinned back to back to back 3 times in a row while Kevin Steen still remains unpinned in all of 2010.
Strong starts to fire back at Steen and say that the major difference between he and Kevin Steen is that he's a champion of pride, he's a champion of honor. Roderick Strong says that he takes his duties as the first ever North American Champion extremely seriously.
Steen says that Strong is constantly talking a big game but has yet to take him on his offer that he is officially declaring as champion that Roderick Strong can come for this title whenever he feels like it, anytime, anywhere, he calls Roderick Strong a coward.
Roddy gets mad and gets in Steen's face and starts to push him as SCUM make their way down to the ring. Jacobs, Moxley and Callihan surround the ring.
ROH GM Bret Hart makes his way down to the ring
Bret says he's going to make this short and sweet because regardless of what many people are thinking, he had nothing to do with the attack on the Kings of Wrestling by his family members Harry Smith and Tyson Kidd. He says that he's a "big man" and can fight his own battles.
He says to get to the immediate situation at hand though, he tells Roderick to calm down because El Generico is also a big man. He says that he's done a lot of talking with Generico since Glory By By Honor and he says that Generico is wanting this entire thing to end as welll. He says that Generico was understandable when he said that he's aware that he's done nothing but lose to Steen all year anytime they come face to face but he wants to put this all to rest... He wants Kevin Steen at Final Battle. He says that he's willing to put all on the line at Final Battle. El Generico is willing to propose that at Final Battle, in our main event, it will be Kevin Steen defending the ROH World Championship against former best friend, former tag team partner, El Generico ... WITH the stipulation that if El Generico doesn't walk out of Final Battle, he'll leave ROH. Bret says that right then and there when Generico offered something like that, he was the man for the job to put an end to SCUM. He says that Generico has more honor than anyone in ROH and we need a man like that to defeat the evil forces of SCUM. Steen smiles menacingly as he now has the chance to complete his ultimate goal and rid El Generico from ROH.
