ROH Episode 288 Results: The Briscoes VS The Hardys ROH World Tag Team Title Match & More!

-Christopher Daniels and Kazarian come out to celebrate Christopher's winning the ROH World title at the 15th Anniversary show. Daniels says Cole was faster than him, stronger than him and younger, but he wasn't’t smarter than him. He talks about the plan where they tricked and infiltrated The Bullet Club. Kazarian talks about him winning a chance to face Marty Scurll and The Addiction may be ending now, but they’ll always be brothers. Dalton Castle comes out next as we go to commercial, seemingly to confront his opponent for next week at Supercard of Honor in Lakeland, Florida.

-Daniels gives Dalton an appletini, Dalton saying that they’re wonderful. The Boys bring Dalton a glass as Dalton says when he saw Daniels win the belt it was life changing and well deserved and that he’s really happy for him. Castle says he doesn't’t envy him one bit and he’s going to have to wrestle him and he wouldn't’t wish that on anyone. The Bullet Club then interrupt them, Cole talking about losing the belt as he and the Bucks hang out on the ramp, avoiding the ring for the moment. Cole says that The Addiction will pay for what they’ve done and the idea of Castle becoming champion is laughable. Cole says he deserves a rematch against Daniels, Kaz mentioning that there’s three on each team, so why not have a six-man tag match. Cole accepts and he and the Bucks leave as we go to commercial.

-We next get a promo by Marty Scurll who says he came to ROH for competition and that he doesn't’t see any and issues an open challenge for his belt before he’s interrupted by Kenny King after his promo is over. King issues a challenge to Scurll and he accepts as we go back to the ring.
