Welcome to the Fightful.com recap for this week’s episode of Ring Of Honor Wrestling. A new era has begun in Ring of Honor as Bullet Club look to hold all of the gold.
We open with the end of Death Before Dishonor with highlights of the main event and after the match where Kyle O’Reilly attacked Adam Cole. Adam comes out with Hangman Page, Yujiro Takahashi and Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Cole says he kept his promise and the belt is now his for a second time. He talks up the Bullet Club and says it doesn’t matter who’s next because he will be the greatest Ring of Honor champion of all time as Jay Lethal comes out. Lethal says if Cole thinks it’s over, he’s dead wrong. Cole says that he will always be better than Lethal. Cole says it’s his night off and he won’t get involved with him tonight. Oh my god Lethal has a new friendship with Los Ingobernables de Japon?! I’m shocked.
