In a pre-match promo, Flip Gordon looks back on his background as an amateur wrestler and his road to Ring of Honor. Gordon says he loves to fly high in the ring, but he wants to focus on his skills as a grappler. He says he didn’t want to miss out on the buzz surrounding the ROH Pure Championship. He admits that Josh Woods has a lot of momentum on his side, but he’s more ready than he’s ever been.
Meanwhile, Woods says beating Jay Lethal felt incredible. He says he’s been climbing up the rankings, and he calls Gordon an obstacle in his quest to face Gresham for the title. He points out that Gordon’s name is literally Flip, so he doesn’t belong in a Pure Rules Match. Woods vows to be the next ROH Pure Champion.
