| Match results: Carnage Crew over Ring Crew Express with a Splash Mountain Neckbreaker off the top through a table in what reported as a street fight style gorefest. ROH Tag Team Titles: BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs defeated The Embassy (Jimmy Rave and Fast Eddie with Prince Nana) Lacey defeated Cindy Rogers ROH Pure Title: Samoa Joe defeated Colt Cabana by submission (armbar). AJ Styles defeated "mystery opponent" Petey Williams. Styles got the predicted loud welcome back reaction. Post-match, the Embassy hit the ring with Jade Chung getting in a nut shot on Styles, followed by Jimmy Rave hitting a Rave Clash, followed by Petey Williams hitting a Canadian Destroyer, leaving Styles laying. Generation Next defeated Laceys Angels kick off the second half, Jack Evans did a springboard 630 to the outside Nigel McGuinness won the four corners match over Homicide, James Gibson, and Azriel, pinning James Gibson. Sick moves of the match included Evans's latest death and gravity defying move, a springboard 630 to the outside, as well as Deranged and Izzy hitting a Road Warriors-style doomsday device, then taken into an ace crusher. Low Ki (with Julius Smokes) and Jay Lethal went to a no contest after Lethal hit his flipping Dragon suplex...and Julius Smokes broke up the pin for the DQ finish CM Punk defeated Austin Aries to become the new ROH World Heavyweight Champion after a Pepsi Plunge. Punk controlled the match early, until Aries nailed Punk with a Death Valley Driver onto the apron. Aries then took control of the match, turning the live crowd into booing every move by Aries, and popping for every move by Punk. Aries hit Punk with a top rope brainbuster and a 450, which Punk countered into an Anaconda Vice. Aries even hit a Pepsi Plunge of his own, in which Punk kicked out at one. Punk nailed a finishing sequence of a TKO, shining wizard and the Pepsi Plunge that led to the pinfall. Punk's post-match promo will start speculation flying as Punk then heeled out on the crowd, with the story of the man who brings a snake back to life only to be bitten. Punk then said "the greatest feat the Devil ever accomplished was making man forget he existed...and declared that he was the Devil himself"...and then did his heel "I'm better than you" rap; mocking the fans for their support over the last 12 months. Punk then prepared to walk out with the belt, saying that the ROH belt was the most important title in the world and he was taking it with him, and that there was nothing anyone in the locker room could do about it. Cue Christopher Daniels as a surprise coming through the crowd. Christopher Daniels came in and challenged CM Punk to an impromptu title match. Punk agreed, then grabbed the belt and ran out through the crowd, complete with Gabe Sapolsky running after him in a "this isn't supposed to happen" moment screaming, "He stole the f@$#$ing belt!" Ring Of Honor returns to Morristown, NJ on August 20, which will also be the New Jersey return of Christopher Daniels. Prior to that, ROH will debut in Long Island on July 8, return to Manhattan on July 9, and return to Philadelphia on July 23. |
