Final Battle Zero Hour

Ring of Honor Final Battle kicked off with the traditional Zero Hour pre-show slate of matches, with absolutely terrible audio on the feed. The first match saw The Outrunners take on the Premier Athletes, accompanied by Mark Sterling and Stori Denali. Sterling and Denali got involved as expected, but the Outrunners were able to survive and hit Total Recall for the win.

Next up, Leila Grey took on Ring of Honor newcomer Zayda Steel. One might think Steel would win her debut match, but Leila Grey picked up the win with a brutal looking Angle’s Wings (she was cornerned by Christopher Daniels). 

The next match saw Lee Johnson taking on the Bang Bang Gang’s Ace Austin. Johnson used heel tactics in this match to gain an advantage, but Austin ultimately picked up the win with The Fold. 

The cavalcade of unannounced matches continued next with Death Riders’ Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia taking on the Grizzled Young Veterans, with Jon Moxley joining Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman on commentary. This match really got the crowd going with GYV being the fan favorite team. As expected, the Death Riders used underhanded tactics and came up with the win after Wheeler Yuta hit the Busaiku Knee on Zack Gibson. Moxley had no apparent animosity with his stablemates in this one. 

Main Card

The main card kicked off with the final of the Women’s ROH Pure Tournament, and Jon Moxley remained on commentary for the duration. Starkz went all out on Purazzo, trying to take her out via the corner of the announce table. Billie Starkz was the first to use all of her rope breaks as Purazzo continued to apply submission maneuvers on Starkz. Finally, Purazzo picked up the win by applying Venus de Milo in the center of the ring. Deonna Purazzo becomes the first-ever Ring of Honor Women’s Pure Champion. After the match, the injured Queen Aminata emerged to shake Purazzo’s hand, saying she wanted the first shot. 

30 Minute Iron Man Match

Next up was the 30 Minute Iron Man Match between Nigel McGuinness and Lee Moriarty. Moriarty picked up the first submission with the Border City Stretch after a quick tap from McGuinness about five minutes in. It then went to two to nothing as Moriarty executed an Inside Cradle at around the eleven-minute mark.

McGuinness finally picked up a decision by using the London Dungeon at around nineteen minutes. Moriarty responded immediately by reversing another London Dungeon attempt for another pinfall, making it 3-1. The pace picked up from there, as time ticked under the three-minute mark, as McGuinness got distracted by Shane Taylor at ringside. McGuinness then picked up another decision, rolling Moriarty up while in the Crossface. Nigel then scored another pinfall with thirty seconds remaining, tying things up. McGuinness rolled Moriarty up again and grabbed the tights, taking the lead. Moriarty then rolled McGuinness up at the last second to tie things up at four, with the official decision being a draw. 

Moriarty got on the mic and convinced Nigel to go to Sudden Death, and Nigel obliged. The nearfalls were fast and furious, with both men inches away from victory. Moriarty then picked up the win after bridging up at the last second during a double pin. After the match, McGuinness gifted Moriarty his original ROH title. 

Jon Moxley then stood up from the anonunce table. He cut a promo on the Don Callis Family about how he would defeat Konosuke Takeshita tomorrow night in the Continental Classic. 

Women’s Television Championship

Red Velvet jumped Mercedes Moné before the bell, and as the referee went to get rid of one of Moné’s titles, Velvet had Moné down for three, but the ref didn’t see it.
