ROH Six Man Tag Team Title Match: Cody & The Young Bucks vs The Kingdom
We have two referees in this one to ensure there are NO shenanigans. The Bucks completely outmaneuver Vinny Marseglia to start, then to the same with TK, hitting a hanging neckbreaker/senton combo. Taven's turn, and this time he's on the receiving end of triple teams from all three members of the Elite. Marseglia demands that cody tag in, and he obliges and immediately tears into Marseglia, then pops him up in a delayed vertical gourdbuster. Marseglia with a leaping knee to Cody's face, and now Cody is in the wrong part of town. Taven punts him in the face for 2, then hammers Cody with a seemingly endless flurry of right hands. He flips the bird to the Bucks, then goes back to work on Cody. TK distracts one ref while Taven and Marseglia put the boots to Cody, then they go to the outside and take turns ramming Cody into the barricades. The Kingdom swarms Cody like vultures in their half of the ring, and the Kingdom tries to cheat behind one referee's back, but the other is at ringside and warns them to cut it out. Cody tries to fight his way out of the corner, but Marseglia snaps him over with a suplex for 2. Cody knocks Taven off the apron, tosses TK into the corner, then powerslams Marseglia onto TK, and he makes the hot tag. Matt Jackson cleans house on all three members of the Kingdom, takes Taven out with a baseball slide, standing Sliced Bread #2 to Marseglia, then announces a superkick party, but Taven grabs the ankle and allows TK and Marseglia to get a double flapjack on Matt for 2. All heck breaks loose with all six men in the ring, and all the Elite members get Sharpshooters on all of the Kingdom. Shouldn't Ezekiel be a member of the Kingdom? Maybe he can be their mouthpiece. Marseglia takes a series of kneestrikes in the corner and a triple superkick, but Taven breaks the cover at 2. TK gets dumped to the floor and Cody takes him out with a dive, and the outside referee takes a shot I missed as Cody hits Marseglia with CrossRhodes. Taven misses a Tidal Krush and the in-ring referee gets wiped out as well. Cody hits CrossRhodes on Taven, but no ref. TK comes in and hits Cody with a baseball bat, drills each of the Jacksons as well, then the Kingdom hits the Rockstar Supernova as a woman in a referee shirt runs out to make a count...then stops at 2. She takes her hat off and we see it's Brandi Rhodes! The Kingdom is stunned long enough to each get knocked out with a flurry of superkicks, then Cody hits CrossRhodes on TK, and Brandi counts the fall. The bell rings and their music plays, but the original referees seem to be disputing this. the music ends as referees Turner and Sinclair confer. The announcer informs us that Brandi is not a legal official as Taven knocks Brandi out, though we don't catch quite how. Cody goes to carry Brandi out as Taven apologizes, then lays Cody out with the Climax as TK and Marseglia hit their finish on Matt and get the win.
Winners and NEW Six Man Tag Team Champions: The Kingdom
TK gets the mic after the match and tells us that everybody knows that there's been a conspiracy against them for the last year, and now they're three time six man champions, and as far as the conspiracy goes (Marseglia gets the mic) it's DEAD.
Kenny King, who has an upcoming title match with Lethal for the World Title, joins the broadcast team for our next match...
ROH World Champion Jay Lethal & ROH TV Champion Jeff Cobb vs ROH World Tag Team Champions So Cal Uncensored
Lethal and Kazarian start us off and wind up at a stalemate, so Scorpio Sky and Jeff Cobb tag in. I've been watching Jeff Cobb for a long time, and anyone who only watches ROH and has never seen him before the last couple of months are in for a treat. Sky tries a shoulderblock, and unsurprisingly, doesn't budge Cobb at all. A dropkick does, however, but Cobb kips up and then cartwheels through a flying headscissors and dropkicks Sky. Lethal tags in and goes to work on Sky with chops, followed by a Savage back elbow for 2. Kazarian tags in and Lethal doesn't see it, and Kazarian catches him with a leg lariat, and Lethal is in trouble. Lethal tries to fight his way free, but SCU gets a rolling double leg slam. Lethal takes a beating until hitting an Ace Crusher and making the hot tag to Cobb, who steamrolls over Sky and ragdolls him across the ring with a release belly to belly suplex. Cobb with a spinning back suplex and a standing moonsault for 2. Cobb gets Sky up in a very delayed vertical suplex, DARES KAZARIAN TO COME IN while he has Sky up, then tags Lethal in and passes Sky over to him to continue the delayed vertical. Lethal finally drops Sky and gets 2. That was an awesome spot. Now Sky is in trouble, as Cobb hits another spinning back suplex for 2. Sky tries to get away, Lethal hits him with a leaping enziguiri and a bicycle kick, but Sky flattens Lethal with a hard lariat, and he makes the tag to Kazarian, who cleans house on both opponents. Kazarian hits Lethal and Cobb with a Stunner/DDT combo and covers Lethal for 2. So Cal with a series of double teams on Lethal and Kazarian hits him with an Unprettier for 2. Cobb literally drags Lethal back to their corner to tag in, and he is quickly caught with a double stomp by Sky, followed by a rolling neckbreaker from Kazarian. Cobb suplexes both of So Cal by himself, then Lethal hits Kazarian with Hail To The King and wipes Kazarian out with a dive as Cobb covers for 2. Cobb to the second rope, but Sky catches him with a leaping Frankensteiner, Kazarian slingshots Lethal into the ring for an Ace Crusher, and both Cobb and Lethal wind up on the floor where Sky and Kazarian take them out with stereo dives. The referee has his back turned while the Briscoes come out and Jay throws a chair at the back of Sky's head, knocking him out. Kazarian sees them and gets distracted, allowing Cobb to hit the Tour of the Islands for the win.
Winners: Jay Lethal & Jeff Cobb
Terrific match, everyone came out looking strong and Cobb showed beyond a shadow of a doubt why he belongs here. The Briscoes yell at SCU after the match and tell them they got what they deserved. Code of Honor is followed after the match, and all four men hold their title belts up.
And with that, it's MAIN EVENT TIME!

Page and Black tag in and Black outmaneuvers Page to get a series of 2 counts, then a double dropkick and neither man connects. Colt and Ian ponder on the possibility of collusion between Scurll and Page as Scurll and Gresham exchange pinning combinations. Gresham gets Scurll up for a superplex, Daniels joins in and...well, everyone comes over for an excessive Tower of Doom until Page tosses them all out of the way annd saves his buddy Scurll.

Page comes in with the slingshot lariat to Gresham, and the Rite of Passage finishes him.
Jonathan Gresham is eliminated.
Daniels goes over to Black and tries to work out a deal with him since it's pretty obvious at this point that Page and Scurll are going to work together. Daniels and Scurll go at it, with Scurll locking him down with a side headlock. Daniels counters to a legscissors, Scurll slips out, Black hits a knee to Scurll's back from the outside, and Daniels hits a clothesline on Scurll for 2. Daniels tells Black to get his boot up and rams Scurll into it, then tags Black in for a double team legdrop. Black with a vertical suplex and rolls through into a kneeling version of the Rings of Saturn. Daniels tags in and hits a slingshot legdrop, then Black tags in and stands on Scurll's chest for 2 before getting him in the Billy Goat's Curse, but then gets the arms to surfboard him and pendulum swing him into the bottom turnbuckle. Daniels tags back in and Scurll fights his way free, but Daniels cuts him off as Ian points out that Scurll could very easily tag PJ Black. Hey, that's a good point! Duh! Double clothesline wipes both men out, and Page fires the crowd up as both men crawl for tags. Daniels tags Black and Scurll tags in Page, who dropkicks Daniels off the apron before going to town on Black with clotheslines. Page takes Daniels out with a dive through the ropes, then back into the ring for more clotheslines. Page hits a dropsault and lands on Black for 2. Black tries a springboard something, but Page boots him right in the chest on the way down.

Page with a roaring clothesline on Black and makes a cover, but Daniels breaks it up at 2. Scurll ditches Daniels to the floor, then Scurll superkicks Daniels from the apron and then Page takes him out with a shooting star press off the apron. Black comes in for a quick pinfall attempt, Scurll and Black with a series of reversals, and Scurll winds up on top for 3.
PJ Black is eliminated.
The fans don't seem upset to see Black go, and Daniels is in a real tough spot now. he decides to go right at them, but winds up on the receiving end of a 2-on-1 beating. Scurll throws Daniels out to the floor and rams him into the barricade, then Page gives him one as well. Page and Scurll waste time yelling at a fan, then go back into the ring to put the boots to Daniels. Scurll suddenly rolls Page up for 2, and NOW Page is mad! He shoves Scurll across the ring and yells at him, then Scurll shoves him back, and Daniels uses the opening to take them both out with a double clothesline. Daniels with an awesome move where he gets Scurll in a deathdrop position, then picks Page up in a uranage and drops him on top of Scurll. Daniels rolls Scurll up for 2, then a blue thunder bomb gets 2 on Scurll. Daniels and Scurll trade shots, Scurll tries a European uppercut, Daniels reverses to a backslide, goes for Angel's Wings, but Page comes in for a slingshot clothesline, Daniels sees him coming and moves, and Page takes Scurll out.
