TNT Champion Scorpio Sky (with American Top Team’s Dan Lambert & “All Ego” Ethan Page) vs. “Spanish God” Sammy Guevara (with Tay Conti)!
“Scorpio Sky has been unbeaten in 402 days,” said Tony Schiavone.
“He’s been hot since falling in with Ethan Page, and even hotter since falling in with Dan Lambert and American Top Team,” added Excalibur.
Sammy rushed Sky into the corner and battered Sky with elbow strikes and stomps. Scorpio Sky fired back, battering Sammy with a ground and pound attack. Sky bit down on Sammy’s forehead, punishing him in the corner.

On the ring apron, Sky planted Sammy with a TKO!
“That was nasty! What a horrible landing,” said Taz.
“Yeah, Sammy’s feet got caught in the ropes so he crashed down on the crown of his head,” replied Excalibur.
“Sammy is holding his head. He might be out a little bit here,” added Taz.
Scorpio Sky worked over Sammy in the corner with vicious body shots, like Sammy was a heavy bag. Sky connected with a tortuous backbreaker on Sammy. Sky had bad intentions and dropped Sammy with a second backbreaker! Sky delivered a third backbreaker and then applied pressure to Sammy’s spine!

Paige VanZant sprinted to the ring and she and Tay hammered one another outside the ring! Sky poked Sammy in the eye’s right in front of the ref, but then the ref was distracted by the commotion outside the ring.

And new TNT Champion…Sammy Guevara!
ROH World Championship Match!
ROH World Champion “The Octopus” Jonathan Gresham vs. Dalton Castle (with The Boys)!
“Dalton Castle sometimes known as the Party Peacock,” said Excalibur.
The Code of Honor was observed before the bell, with the competitors shaking hands as a sign of mutual respect.
Castle used a low single on Gresham. Castle connected with a gut wrench suplex!
“Wow, that was a bad, bad landing, man,” said Taz.
Castle clotheslined Gresham and then stopped Gresham in his tracks with a high boot. Gresham cartwheeled and came off the middle rope with a hurracanrana on Castle. Gresham used a deep arm drag on Dalton Castle.
Gresham applied the Octopus hold onto Castle but Castle grabbed the ring ropes and then went outside the ring. The boys fanned him off. Back in the ring, Gresham connected with an elbow but Dalton Castle hurled Gresham overhead with two consecutive suplexes! Castle followed up with a deadlift overhead throw and covered Gresham for a near fall.
Castle took Gresham for a ride with the Bang-a-Rang but Gresham countered and cradled Castle for a near fall. Castle fired back with a fierce lariat. Gresham locked in the Octopus hold in the center of the ring. Gresham cranked back and scored the win via tap out submission!
“That was a great wrestling match, guys, it really was,” said Tony Schiavone.
After the match, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Satnam Singh stormed out to the ring! Singh choke slammed the boys outside the ring! Satnam plucked Dalton Castle out of the air and sent him crashing hard into the ring steps!
From behind, Jay Lethal shocked Gresham with the Lethal Injection! Satnam bounced Gresham’s head off the ring mat like a basketball! Lee Moriarty ran to the ring but Satnam pancaked him! Matt Sydal cracked Satnam in the back with his crutches! Satnam barely budged!
Satnam was about to powerbomb Matt Sydal when ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe came to the ring with a steel pipe to even up the odds! Satnam had to be held back by Lethal and Dutt, and they left the ring to fight another day!
