The Young Bucks vs. The Super Smash Brothers
Big pop for both teams. It was your typical Young Bucks show early on, including Matt raking the back of Evil Uno. Jackson was shoved through the ropes to the floor, smashing his back on the apron and was slammed into it after. Jackson began selling the back in a major way. The Smash Brothers beat Jackson with double team maneuvers, scoring several two counts.
They worked over Matt for a long time. He would fight them off but be cut off before he could make the tag. He finally superkicked Uno and charged around the ring but was cut off. Matt finally speared Dos and executed the tag.
Nick Jackson hit the scene with all sorts of big, fast maneuvers. He nailed the slingshot facebuster on one, then hit a moonsault over the top to the other. He nailed a flying bodypress for a two count on Grayson. The Bucks his stereo sunset flips into the ring, turning them into Sharpshooters.
The Bucks called for a Superkick Party. The Brothers cut them off. Dos was hiptossed over the buckles by his own partner, wiping out the Bucks. Graydon accidentally nailed Uno with a high knee. They went into an insane back and forth sequence I couldn’t even fathom, much less type up. Grayson hit an insane 450 splash for a close close close two count.
The teams went back and forth with superkicks. The Smash Brothers were caught up in each other’s legs and drilled with superkick after superkick. The Bucks finally scored the win with the Meltzer Driver.
Your winners, The Young Bucks!
It was the Young Bucks show with all the insane spots and high flying that the fans today get off on, following Matt Jackson being worked over for a long time to build to the hot tag. Entertaining.
The teams showed each other respect, but ROH Tag Team Champions The Briscoes attacked and laid out both teams. Jay Briscoe took the mic and said they just wanted to remind everyone "who runs this sh**." He said it wasn't the Young Bucks. He told the fans wearing Bullet Club and Young Bucks shirts to burn in hell and that they "ain't sh**." Jay told the Bucks to stick to selling t-shirts and leave the best tag team in the world thing to the Briscoes. He said that no matter how cool they think they are, the Bucks will never be man enough to take the belts from The Briscoes. This sounds like a setup for the 6/29 PPV in Baltimore.
The Briscoes are great, by the way.

WOH Champion Sumie Sakai joined Ian and BJ for the next match.
They noted Flip Gordon has had some flight issues but is in the air, so they hope he will make it to the show. That is legit.
They also announced that Cheeseburger has been sent to a local medical facility. That’s storyline playing off the Bully segment.
Tenille Dashwood & Jenny Rose vs. Alexia Nicole & Sandra Bell
Nicole and Rose went back and forth with counters. Rose nailed a side slam for a two count. Jenny and Dashwood nailed a double suplex for a two count. Dashwood began working over her arm. Rose tagged back in but was maneuvered into her opponents’ corner.

Your winners, Tenille Dashwood & Jenny Rose!
Not a strong showing here. Alexia showed some real promise at times. Bell looked like she was very young in terms of experience. Rose looked OK. Dashwood was in another world compared to everyone else. Sumie ddn't really add anything on commentary but Ian and BJ really tried to bring her into the conversation.
So Cal Uncensored vs. Roppongi 3.0 & Rocky Romero.
All strong back and forth action early on. Daniels was on the defensive early on. So Ca shut down Sho and they worked him over, tagging in and out. Yo made the tag and took control. He drilled Sky with a big European uppercut. Roppongi and Romero hit a triple dive to the outside on everyone. In the end, So Cal Uncensored scored the pin.
Your winners, So Cal Uncensored.
Sorry for the short PBP, but I needed to eat dinner! It was some really good salmon, if you care. You probably don't, but that's OK, too.
ROH TV Champion Silas Young vs. Adam Page
They brawled all over the ringside area. It was a fun brawl. They battled into the ring, exchanging strikes and chops. Page scored with a lariat for a two count. Young took off his vest to show he meant business, but was caught with a neckbreaker for a two count. Young went for full nelson but Page ducked out and nailed big right. Young fired back with one of his own. They battled onto the outside of the apron, where Page shoved off the Champion and nailed a superkick. Young fell to the floor. They battled back and forth until Young nailed Misery for the pin.
Your winner and still TV Champion, Silas Young!
Good brawl. This was your unbridled, gritty, rough and rumble fight of the evening. They both looked good.

Big reactions for each guy. Good action early on with Rhodes backing off. Rhodes locked in a figure four but Liger got to the ropes.

Liger rained down with punches in the corner. The referee admonished Liger, allowing Rhodes to grab him and snap him over with the CrossRhodes.
Your winner, Cody!
Entertaining match until the finish, which seemed to come out of nowhere. Cody is in another zone as a character right now. The right guy won here. I always love watching Liger. Fun stuff!
Colt Cabana & Jay Lethal & Kenny King vs. IWGP Tag Team Champions EVIL and SANADA & Hiromu Takahashi
BUSHI is working the corner and it's now a six man tag. Poor Flip Gordon flying all the way there for nothing. Lots of back and forth wrestling early on. It was all good stuff. Cabana did some funny comedy with Takahashi and his pet mascot Darryl Jr.
SANADA and EVIL double teamed Lethal, who kept kicking up. Lethal was worked over for a long time but finally nailed the Lethal Combination. Jay tried to make the hot tag and succeeded, getting the tag to Kenny King. King nailed a spinebuster on SANADA for a nice two count. SANADA nailed a moonsault, but King came back with a suplex attempt. SANADA landed on his feet and manuevered King into a rana.

They finally caught him with the Magic Killer but Kenny King broke up the pinfall. They all went into a bunch of back and forth finishing sequences.
