➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: How about LeeJ join STP? STP needs to grow more dominant and Shane Taylor needs to be ROH Champion!... Kind of a weirdly booked main event, so only 1/2 Thumbs Up from me for putting Shane Taylor over. I support Shane Taylor!

(4) Tony Nese, Beast Mortos

-Mark Sterling cut a promo on the way to the ring for Tony Nese. The rest of Premiere Athletes also accompanied Nese. Mortos took out Premier Athletes with a top rope dive during his victory over Nese.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: I really don’t have any comments on this one. This is the epidomy of indifference for me. I guess it’s nice to get the guy a win, as he’s been doing decent heel work, but this doesn’t really move anything forward for anybody.
