A video graphic previews next week’s main event ( a tag team match between Jay Lethal & Jonathan Gresham and Bandido & Mark Haskins.) Next week’s show will also feature matches from the Top Prospect Tournament.

ROH World Championship: Matt Taven (c) vs. Alex Shelley (replayed from Ring of Honor Summer Supercard)

The two men shake hands. They lock up, exchange holds and Taven slaps Shelley. They continue to feel each other out and Shelley taunts Taven by doing jumping jacks. Shelley counters the Climax twice and gets a near fall. Shelley does a Ric Flair strut an grounds the champion with a chin-lock. Taven drops Shelley face-first onto the apron but the challenger nails the champion with a flying knee. Shelley throws a sleeping fan’s shoe at Taven and spits water in his face. Taven counters Sliced Bread off the ring post and slams Shelley through a table.

Shelley almost gets counted out but he makes it back into the ring. Taven plants Shelley with a backbreaker for a near fall. The champion grounds Shelley and stretches him over his knees. Two more backbreakers get Taven a near fall. The champion locks in the Boston Crab but Shelley reaches the ropes. A swinging neckbreaker gets Taven another two count. Shelley hits a slingshot DDT from the apron to the floor. The challenger drives Taven face-first into the barricade and hits a standing Sliced Bread onto the barricade. Taven dives over the barricade onto Shelley. The challenger counters a Frog Splash and plants Taven for a near fall. A superkick drops Taven and another one rocks him, too. A Sliced Bread gets Shelley a near fall. He locks in a Motor City Stretch but Taven gets out of it and nails Shelley with a knee. Shelley counters one climax and kicks out of another. A second Climax puts Shelley away.

Winner: Matt Taven
