-Jay Lethal comes out to the ring to start the episode, coming out and talking about O’Reilly and what happened last week. Lethal says that what happened between him and Kyle last week wasn’t right. It wasn’t right that Kyle had to fight him when he wasn’t 100% and that the Bullet Club stole Kyle’s chance at becoming champion and it wasn’t right what he had to do to Kyle. Lethal says he hated it and he wants to team up with the Briscoes tonight so he can take on Adam Cole and the Young Bucks to which Nigel agrees. Nigel the reiterates and says as long as Adam Cole is in ROH he will never get another title shot as we go to commercial.
