The Righteous has ended Shane Taylor Promotions‘ remarkable 300-plus day reign as the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.
At ROH Final Battle: End of an Era, Vincent, Bateman and Dutch defeated O’Shay Edwards, Moses and Kaun to win the gold.
Here’s how the match went down, courtesy of our play-by-play coverage:
Moses and Dutch start the bout and feel each other out. Dutch takes him down with a hurricanrana, but Moses drills the big man with a shot to the face. All six men enter the ring and start fighting. The brawl spills outside the ring. Kaun hits Vincent with a few strikes and drops him with an elbow to the face. Soldiers of Savagery double-team Vincent and get a two count. Vincent gets some breathing room and tags Bateman. Moses slams him with a Samoan Drop. Edwards tags in and takes the fight to Bateman. Vincent throws Edwards to the outside and dives onto him. Kaun follows suit and dives onto Vincent, but Bateman takes everyone out with another dive. Dutch and Vita VonStarr also dive onto the champions. Vincent hits the Redrum on Kaun for a two count.
The Coin Till and a top-tope moonsault from Edwars earns a near fall; it was so close that the timekeeper rang the bell. Edwards plants Dutch with a spinebuster. Vincent catches Edwards with an Orange Sunshine for the win.

The Righteous’ Vincent recently spoke with WrestleZone about Final Battle, and he said he’s still a bit shocked about ROH going on hiatus, but hopes the fans get everything they hoped for from ROH at the end of the night.
“I’m hoping that a lot of people do attend just to kind of have this big moment with us. All the Ring of Honor fans who always supported us throughout the years, hopefully, many of them can attend if they’re in that area. But it’s crazy just to know that going into it, even with the match itself, win, lose whatever, I just want the match between us and Shane Taylor Promotions to go all out there. I mean, if this is the end of an era, I want us to go out there both teams and just do everything, give the fans exactly what they’re hoping to see.
“I honestly think that the whole show is going to be that I think everybody’s going in there with that attitude of like, okay, this is the end of the era, let’s go out with this great show, and not that we never put 100% in any other shows that we do. But you know, this one has just that feeling going into it, like, ‘okay, if this is it, then let’s do this.’ It’s mixed emotions, it’s exciting and sad, it’s crazy. It’s like a wave of emotions daily just to think about it but I’m grateful to be a part of an end of an era, the Ring of Honor; it’s definitely something that’s going to be whatever direction they go. I don’t know. But it’s definitely a part of Ring of Honor history. Shane Taylor Promotions, Khan, and Moses, I’m a big fan of that group of guys. And they’re fantastic. So I think it’ll be great.”
