Butcher and Blade vs Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley
All four men attack when the bell rings and it quickly spills to the outside. Mox takes Blade around the ring in a headlock, but Blade is able to drop him crotch first on the barricade. They go into the ring and trade chops and then move to fighting in the corners. Mox brings Blade to his corner for Claudio to tag in and Claudio immediately goes for a leg drop, a pin and a two count. Claudio gets an uppercut, but Blade is able to slam him and bring in Butcher.

Claudio gets a running uppercut in the corner and when he goes for a second, Bunny gets into the ring to get in front of Blade to stop him. We go to picture in picture.
When we return to full screen, Claudio is fighting his way free from Blade, but Blade gets to tag in Butcher first. This allows Butcher to know Mox off the apron, and when Claudio makes it to the corner, no one is there. Butcher sets up the stalling suplex, and Blade drop kicks Claudio from Butcher’s move to the mat. Butcher gets a two count. Butcher pulls Claudio up for a power bomb, but Claudio escapes, and goes to the ropes. Claudio is able to get an uppercut and both men are down.

Butcher tags in and they set up for a two man slam, but Claudio comes in and grabs Mox onto his own shoulders. He puts Mox down and it’s all four men in the ring.
Mox and Claudio take them down with stereo clotheslines. They then both stomp Butcher and Blade’s heads in. Mox gets a Death Rider on Blade, Claudio gets the Ricola Bomb on Butcher and covers for the pin.

Renee is backstage with Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee and she asks what’s next for them. Swerve laughs about how Mark Sterling stole the scissoring from The Acclaimed. Keith Lee says he stuck with Swerve because he thinks Swerve can be good, but his cheating does not represent Ketih Lee. He says Stirckland is swerving into the wrong lane.
Renee is then with Dark Order and asks them how they are dealing with their loss last week. As Alex Reynolds starts to explain, Jose the assistant shows up. Ten says he is sick of this, and that he will face Rush next week, and if he wins, they will leave him alone for good.
The Jericho Appreciation Society comes to the ring. We get a recap of how Daniel Garcial has rejoined the JAS.
2.0 says that the family is back together. Daddy Magic explains that this makes his nipples hard...and we did not need to know that.
Anna Jay A. S. introduces Daniel Garcia. Daniel says that Chris Jericho has always been a superior sports entertainer. Daniel was being rebellious and he thought he wanted to be a wrestler like Bryan Danielson. He then says he will never be a pro wrestler, and when Jericho hit him in the head with the Ring of Honor title, he taught him how to win. He then says sports entertainers beat pro wrestlers every single time.
Jericho says he will beat every single ROH champion who ever existed.
This brings out Dalton Castle and The Boys.
Dalton says he finds Jericho’s speech exhausting, and the boys make a chair for him to sit down. He reminds us he used to be Ring of Honor champion. Dalton says he cares about the letters on the ROH belt. He says he fought with honor and when he sees the title around the waist of a silly little goose. He broke his back for that title and he’s willing to break Jericho’s back to be a champion they can be proud of.
Dalton’s promo was great.
Chris Jericho says that he gets a title show next week.
