SCUM make their way out to the ring, all of them looking morally defeated
Kevin Steen opens the promo saying how big of an upset the last 2 PPVs have been for SCUM as a whole but Corino cuts Steen off and says that Steen is wrong, because at Final Battle Jimmy Jacobs conquered his greatest foe in Tyler Black and over the weeekend he himself defeated one of SCUM's biggest foes in Colt Cabana, Steen cuts him off and says that yeah, but Black and Cabana are both just coming back for more and are more angry than ever. Steen and Corino argue in the ring until ultimately being cut off by Jon Moxley of people. Moxley says that he's tired of the arguing and fussing going on in this group. He says they can all take a bit of blame. He says that Callihan and himself joined SCUM because it was a brotherhood of misfits but lately it's become a brotherhood of bitching and moaning, the crowd cheers on as Moxley stands up to Steen. Steen gets clearly pissed off and says that if Mox has a problem, he can do something about it as the two just bitterly stare each other down. Callihan then begins to speak and says that it's clearly a misunderstanding and Mox didn't mean anything by it. Callihan says that Steen is right, Cabana and Black are coming back with a vengeance but if they want to be ready to finish this war, they can't waste time arguing with one another. Jacobs agrees with Callihan and says that he's ready for this war to come to an end and it's almost there. They just need to find focus again. Jacobs, clearly kissing ass, says that Steen is owed his Championship rematch for the ROH world title and that can only come in time but they need to finish this war. Corino doubles down on that and says with time, Steen will become ROH World Champion again.
Colt Cabana and Tyler Black both come out to the cheers of the ROH crowd, Cabana says that he couldn't agree more with them that this war is coming close to an end. They congratulate Mox and Callihan on having the balls to finally speak for themselves but we'll see how they can stand up for themselves in the ring because tonight we'll be getting in tag team action Mox and Callihan against Black and Cabana as the crowd cheers on! The war between ROH and SCUM continues on tonight on ROH on TNT!

much to the excitement of Jericho.

We get the special, spooky debut of The Monster Squad in ROH as Gangrel, The Boogeyman and PCO make their way down to the ring to "Midnight Monster's Hop" as the trio can be clearly seen having a crazy good time. They end their entrance with fog in the ring and through out the arena, with Boogeyman in a crawling position, worms falling out of his mouth, Gangrel standing over him crouched down posing with his hands rocked out to the side and PCO standing over both of them with his eyes rolled back and his arms spread wide as the crowd cheers on.

Match 2:
6-Man Tag:
The Monster Squad (Gangrel, The Boogeyman and PCO) DEF. AR Fox, Rich Swann and Samuray Del Sol via pinfall from PCO onto Del Sol
---
After the match, PCO, the half machine half monster shuts down and malfunctions in the ring as Gangrel helps him power back up by using parts from Boogeyman's clock, PCO then grabs the both of them and hugs them tightly as worms gush from Boogey's mouth and blood gushes from Gangrel's moth all over PCO's shoulders before heading to the back.
After they head to the back, AR Fox gets into the ring and argues with Del Sol and towers over him by several inches before pushing him into the corner as the crowd boos and Rich Swann rolls into the ring and pulls Fox off of him and they all argue now before Fox says "F*ck this" and rolls out the ring and leaves

Match 3:
Singles Match:
Brian Cage DEF. Jay Lethal via pinfall
---
After the match, Cage says that he is going to make good on his promise, his time is now, he's yet to be pinned in an ROH ring over the course of the year since debuting and it's time he gets a reward for that, he challenges Kenny Omega for the ROH North American Championship at the 9th Anniversary Show PPV.
---
We get our preview at the second competitor for the 2011 Top Prospect Cup QT Marshall who is shown in a vignette with his much goofier manager, RD Evans, Attorney at Law. They reveal their duo name as "Marshall Law" and say that they will bring Ring of Honor to justice.
---
We get a comedic backstage segment between Gargano and Taylor who are now seeing a "tag team therapist" as the crowd laughs as Chuck Taylor tells Gargano that Gargano doesn't really want them to break up as a tag team he just thinks the grass is greener on the other side. Gargano says no he clearly came here to ROH as a singles guy, they just kind of got lumped together after well... awkwardly enough after Gargano choked Taylor out to the Gargan-NO Escape during the pre-show of the 8th Anniversary PPV. The counselor with comedic timing says "So your relationship has been rocky from the get go?" - Gargano and Taylor both then say "Relationship?!" - The counselor coughs and says "Oh, right, sorry, ahem .. your... "tag team" has been rough from the beginning" which leads to Gargano arguing more with Taylor as he's never really considered them a proper team, they just kept getting lumped together. He says hell, even their first time challenging for the tag titles was because Taylor opened his big mouth. The segment comes to an end with Taylor storming off borderline crying and Gargano just planting his face into his hands in frustration.
---
Match 4:
Tag Team Match:
Colt Cabana and Tyler Black DEF. SCUM (Jon Moxley and Sami Callihan) (w/ Steve Corino) via pinfall from Cabana onto Callihan
---
After the match, Cabana and Black celebrate in the ring with another as Corino looks disappointed and angered with Moxley and Callihan but helps them exit the ring regardless.
---
We get a backstage segment between Bryan Danielson and ROH GM Bret Hart. The two of them argue as to whether Danielson deserves another ROH World Title match, with Danielson saying that Strong needs to his compumance and he should be the one facing Strong at the 9th Anniversary Show for the title, he goes on to point that the war between SCUM and ROH is just now starting to die down, does he really want another situation like that if the House of Truth get too much power, Danielson begs and pleads with Hart to let him become champion again before this gets out of hand. Hart says he'll do Danielson one even better, he grants Danielson an ROH Championship match for next week, but if Danielson loses, he can't challenge for the ROH World Championship for the rest of 2011, Danielson reluctantly accepts, ready to prove he's got what it takes.

MAIN EVENT:
Singles Match:
ROH World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong (w/ Truth Martini) DEF. Jeff Hardy via pinfall
---
After the match, the rest of HoT, Bennett, Taven, Daniels and Elgin are looking to hit the ring to attack the downed Hardy and just showcase the chaos that Danielson was just talking about in the previous segment but Hardy stands up with a microphone in his hand and says that when he came to ROH he said that he'd do what it took to hang with these guys and he's having the most fun he's ever had in the ring... but boy, is he tired of the bull sh*t outside of the ring, but this time, he's brought back up
It's Matt Hardy!!!
Matt Hardy rushes from the back with a steel chair and starts swinging at all the members of HoT as Hardy attacks Strong and Martini from behind in the ring and then kicking them out of the ring. The show comes to a close with The Hardy Boyz standing tall in the ring as the crowd cheers on in excitement.
