The crowd chanted for Lee, who just signed with AEW.
The Foundation's Jay Lethal, Rhett Titus and Tracy Williams came out. Lethal said it's been a long time since he didn't have a match on a ROH PPV. He said watching everything that took place tonight, he's excited about the future of the company, naming Eli Isom and the fact they crown a new Women's World Champion. He asked how you can not be excited about the Pure Division when you have LSG here. He put over John Walters as a legend. Lethal said from the bottom of his heart, he wishes Lee Moriarty was staying in the Pure Division but there are a ton of great wrestlers in the back and around the world who want to be part of the division.
Lethal said everyone in the back and in the ring watched Eddy Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles, saying they all studied those tapes for hours. He said they all watched names like Reckless Youth and Alex Shelley. He said they have talents who are unmatched technically and they have the Pure Champion, Jonathan Gresham. Lethal said everyone in this ring, on the stage and in the locker room love professional wrestling. He said during the peak of the pandemic, he heard people say it was fresh and exciting, but that was a problem. It was the best wrestling that wrestling can be and it was always great and exciting. No matter what company you are in, the pure division is the best wrestling and that's in Ring of Honor wrestling. The crowd chanted for ROH.
The six man was solid but you got the idea the crowd wasn't buying Team Pure as competition for Violence Unlimited. It still told a good story though.
The OGK vs. The Briscoes.
They started out hot with everyone battling in the ring and then facing off. You could feel the energy in the crowd change live for this one.
The Briscoes cut Mike Bennett off and worked him over, tagging in and out. Bennett made the tag to Taven, who worked over Mark. He nailed a Side Russian Legsweep for a two count. The Briscoes double teamed Taven with Jay drilling him with a big stiff boot to the face. He smashed Taven with a DDT. Bennett grabbed Mark and placed him on his shoulders outside. Taven went for a dive but Jay cut him off, then attacked Bennett on the floor. Taven hit a moonsault to the floor, taking out Bennett and Jay.
Mark went to the top and hit a Froggy Bow Elbow off the top to the floor on everyone. Back in the ring, Mark and Jay took apart Taven. The crowd chanted for the Briscoes. Jay drilled him with a hangman's neckbreaker for a two count. The crowd tried to rally Taven. He finally made the tag to Bennett, who snapped Jay in an armbar. Mark returned to the fray but was taken out by OGK.
The battle went back and forth until Mark nailed Bennett with a dropkick through the ropes and sent Taven to the floor. Mark hit a Blockbuster off the apron to the floor on Taven. Jay hit a lariat that flipped Taven inside out. Mark nailed a froggy bow elbow off the top for a two count but Bennett broke up the pinfall attempt. The crowd rallied everyone.
A chair was brought into the equation. The Briscoes were going to put Taven through it but Mark was speared by Bennett. They battled until Taven small packaged Jay and scored the pin.
Your winners, OGK!
Really good match. Probably the most energy of anything thus far on the show.
