Really good to see Lethal in a match that isn’t full of shenanigans.

Cassidy says he had an announcement and Renee says they are out of time.

MJF is on his way to the ring with Adam Cole.

MJF has a cane and Cole is on crutches, and when they get to the ring, Cole has to sit in a steel chair.  

That’s right, a steel chair is used for sitting in a wrestling ring.

He says he beat Jay White with one leg, and he says that White is one of the best wrestlers in the world, but no one is on the level of the Devil. He puts himself over. Cole then says it’s story time. Cole says his ankle is nowhere near ready for him to come back, but he will work every day to do so.

He then says he wants to be next to MJF every day, because so many people are out for him. MJF says he will find the Devil and send him to hell.

The lights go out and we get to see the Devil Laughing. 

Then, Samoa Joe’s music starts. Joe says it is a big celebration week for his double victories. He then reminds MJF he gets a rematch, and he is here to make sure MJF honors his deal. MJF says he has a response to the deal, but we don’t hear what MJF says because it’s bleeped, but Joe is not happy about it and grabs him. Cole says the OLD MJF would have done that, but he tells MJF that the people love him because when MJF says something will happen, it happens.

MJF then says Joe wouldn’t be the first Ring of Honor he’s beaten twice, so they should do it right here, right now. Joe says no, and it’s because MJF will say he wasn’t 100 %. He wants the fully healed MJF and by World’s End he should be fully healed to defend the title. 

MJF asks if Joe wants to face him in the most magical place in the world, Long Island. Joe says yes and MJF says yes. Joe says that the World title is his property, and he will have MJF’s back until he beats MJF for the title at World’s End.
