ROH Pure Championship: Jonathan Gresham (c) vs. Fred Yehi
In a pre-match promo, Yehi recaps his journey in Ring of Honor up to this point. He describes how he’s crossed paths with Gresham in the past; “The Savage Weight” says he knows Gresham better than his past challengers, and he vows to take the title.
Meanwhile, Gresham shares his excitement for this bout. He describes how he thought Yehi would be an ally in his quest to purify Ring of Honor, but he criticizes the challenger’s attitude toward pure wrestling in ROH. Gresham calls himself the best pure wrestler in the world and tells Yehi to either join him in this war or get out of the way.
Gresham kicks Yehi’s arm away after they shake hands. The two men feel each other out with technical holds to begin the bout. Yehi takes Gresham down and wrenches his ankle. The bout is a stalemate early on, but Gresham nearly takes the win with a quick pin attempt. Yehi lifts Gresham above his head and slams him down with a wrist-lock. Both men tumble over the ropes and continue trading technical holds outside the ring.
How high? Yehi! #WatchROH @fredyehi

Back in the ring, the two competitors trade hip toss attempts, and neither man is able to execute the maneuver. Gresham shows some signs of frustration, as his game plan isn’t working on Yehi. The challenger stomps Yehi, and the two men exchange pin attempts. Neither man can maintain the upper hand, but after a sequence of counters, Gresham rolls Yehi up for the win.
