Ring of Honor issued the following:
Jonathan Gresham was invited by Impact Wrestling to defend his original ROH World Championship at the company’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view this past Saturday in Dallas, but ROH ended up having even more of a presence on the show.
A group of ROH stars showed up uninvited and wreaked havoc.
After the team of Heath, Rhino, Rich Swann, Willie Mack and Eddie Edwards won the Hardcore War match, The OGK (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett), Vincent and PCO stormed the ring and laid them out with a brutal assault.
Maria Kanellis-Bennett entered the ring and stood triumphant with the ROH group.
What was the reason for the attack? Why are bitter rivals Taven and Vincent suddenly aligned? There are more questions than answers at this point.

Earlier in the show, Gresham successfully defended his title against former TNA World Champion Chris Sabin in an outstanding match contested under Pure rules.
