Last week, Jerry Lynn was injured after a spike piledriver at the hands of Kenny King and Rhett Titus.

To formally welcome us to tonight’s show is Kenny King and the ROH World champion Austin Aries. Aries decided to talk about his crushing defeat of Bryan Danielson last week. Well, it might not have been a crushing defeat, but it was more decisive than Machida/Shogun. With that win, Austin Aries confirmed his status as the greatest man who ever lived. Aries handed the microphone to King so Kenny could reflect on possibly ending the career of Jerry Lynn. King proclaimed that everyone wants to be him. Before King could continue his tirade, Tyler Black entered the arena, wearing something like an extra from one of those High School Musical movies. Even worse, like one of those Twilight kids. Black was out here to challenge King to a match. No, not a match with King and Black. Tonight, the first ever “Who Wants To Kick Kenny King’s Ass” lottery will give us our main event. And the winner is…Eddie Kingston!

Mike Hogewood couldn’t be happier as he and Dave Prazak talked about the new executive producer, Jim Cornette.

Sonjay Dutt vs. Delirious vs. Joey Ryan w/The Embassy vs. Necro Butcher
Necro chased Ryan around the ring after Ryan’s failed attempt of jumping Necro from behind. I wouldn’t want Joey jumping me from behind either. Dutt and Delirious went back and forth in the ring until Dutt accidentally hit Ryan as Joey held Delirious in place. Delirious knocked Dutt to the floor so he could somersault dive on top of both Ryan and Dutt from the top rope. Necro tripped Ryan by ripping the ring mats. Dutt got popped in the mouth by one of those patented right hands when he tried to sail through the ropes. Dutt recovered with the help of Ryan, allowing Dutt to sunset bomb Necro off the apron, onto the padded concrete. Ryan and Dutt had Delirious stuck on his back. Delirious got whipped into a dropkick from Ryan, who didn’t care when Dutt went for the pin because Ryan was too busy rubbing his chest hair. Dutt decided that he could cradle Ryan while he wasn’t looking. This didn’t end the partnership. Necro’s fist did. Tiger Driver on Ryan gets Necro a near fall due to Dutt’s interference. Slingshot leg drop across the back of Necro’s head, followed by a springboard dropkick to send Ryan outside. Necro got the knees up to stop the Bolly drop. This left Dutt wide open for the Panic Attack/Shadows Over Hell combo to pin Dutt, and win the match.

“Skullkrusher” Rasche Brown is coming to Ring of Honor. Brown cares about nothing, and hates everything. Pain is coming in two weeks.

Kyle Durden was with Eddie Kingston, who wasn’t too happy about his opportunity to headline tonight because the only person he wants to face is Chris Hero. But King is going feel all the hatred Kingston has for Hero.

In two weeks, Bryan Danielson and Roderick Strong team up to take on the ROH Tag Team champions, The American Wolves. And with Danielson’s tenure in ROH coming to an end, lets here some of Danielson’s to five moments in ROH.

Danielson reflected on his match with Austin Aries from Testing the Limit in 2004, where they wrestled for over seventy-five minutes. Good pick as this is one of my favorite ROH matches as well.

D-Lo Brown vs. Brent Albright
Brown’s new shirt has his first name in the UPS logo. And just so you know, join D-Lo’s Twitter to learn his feelings on Jerry Lynn’s injury. Brown tried to use the handshake to get a cheap shot, but ended up getting put in some pinning predicaments. Albright chased the fleeing Brown, whipping him into the guardrails. Albright hammed it up for the cameras. Brown used this time to recover, slamming Albright’s face against the barricades. Some shaky head action for Brown before a suplex on the floor. When the action returned to the ring, Albright and Brown went fist to fist until Brown thumbed Albright in his eyes. Brown had Albright flailing, especially when he tossed him into the turnbuckles. Albright recovered, avoiding Brown’s flying attack after being pitched to the floor again. Exploder suplex on Brown, on the floor. Albright followed up by diving on top of Brown as he stumbled around ringside. Brown was able to forearm his way to an advantage. D-Lo sailed off the top rope, leveling Albright. Albright ducked the clothesline, using an uranage to get the fans behind “The Shooter”. During his comeback, Albright’s boot came undone. But his beautiful power slam was still all together. Brown turned an Irish whip into a knock down, moonsaulting on Brent for a shocking near fall. Albright grabbed Brown’s incoming arm, DDT’ing Brown to get a two count. Albright wanted to fly. D-Lo turned Albright’s cross body block against him, clotheslining Albright almost 360 degrees. Brent took a power bomb, countering Brown’s attack into the Crowbar. Brown had no choice but to tap out.

In the back, Kyle Durden stood with Colt Cabana to talk about Cabana’s upcoming match with Nigel McGuinness. Cabana was almost in shock when he realized that he’s a main eventer, calling himself Spiderman after horribly quoting Uncle Ben.

Kenny King vs. Eddie Kingston
King leapt over Eddie, exiting the ring in an attempt to frustrate Eddie. That didn’t work, but King popping Eddie in the face instead of breaking clean when they tumbled into the ropes did anger the bigger man. Eddie whipped King from one end of ringside to the other. Northern lights suplex by Eddie after they reentered the ring. Eddie was unloading chops. Lying against the ropes, King dropped, pulling the top rope down with him. Eddie fell over the top rope, causing Eddie’s back to slam across the apron. King paid Eddie back from earlier by whipping Eddie head against the barricades. King used the snap suplex to roll through into some grounding and pounding. Eddie fought out of the rear chin lock, but ended up running into a spine buster for a two count. Kingston countered a short-arm attack, suplexing King on the back of his head. Eddie got up chopping. Another suplex put King in position for a clothesline that dropped King on the top of his head. King pulled the referee in front of him to prevent the Spinning Back Fist. Royal Flush by King only gets him a two count. King used the Macho Man hotshot after a capoeria kick. King sprung off the ropes, only to get caught and suplexed again. Sliding first to King’s face got Kingston another two count when King got his hand on the ropes. Before Kingston could follow up on the Backdrop Driver, Chris Hero ran out, jumping on the apron to distract Kingston. Eddie left himself wide open for a shotgun knees/Coronation combo to win another one.
