* ROH Tag Team Championships: Devil’s Men def. Samoa Joe & MJF (c)

– Footage was shown of Samoa Joe being laid out backstage before the match. Max insisted on defending the titles in a two-on-one scenario. The masked individuals got help from a third individual wearing a mask who was underneath the ring. That individual hit MJF with a lead pipe. This allowed one of the legal masked assailants to hit MJF with his own Heatseeker for the victory. New Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions were crowned but their masks were never taken off. 

Samoa Joe came hobbling down to the ring. He appears to scare the masked men off. The Devil appears on screen and sends a message saying it was a pleasure doing business with you. Joe then hits Maxwell with a chair. Joe let Maxwell know that he did this to him before dropping him with the Muscle Buster.
