One of the things that stood out in 2013 was the battle between SCUM and Ring of Honor. SCUM was formed in 2012 when Kevin Steen won the title against Davey Richards.
We take a look at the attack by the members of SCUM at the 11th Anniversary Show after Kevin Steen’s successful title defense and the revelation of the new members of the group. The Ring of Honor locker room joined forces to take on SCUM.
There was some tension in SCUM because Kevin Steen had issues with Matt Hardy being a part of the group. That meant the end of Kevin Steen in SCUM and he became a man without a country because Ring of Honor was not sure if they could trust him.
This led to Steel Cage Warfare for control of the company and the future of SCUM on July 27th.
Jay Lethal, BJ Whitmer, Michael Elgin, and Kevin Steen faced Matt Hardy, Rhett Titus, Cliff Compton, and Jimmy Jacobs inside the cage and at the end of the match, SCUM was gone from Ring of Honor.
