PREDICTIONS:
From: Wanglicious | #001
Special Attraction
"The Notorious 187" Homicide vs. "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett w/ Brutal Bob & Maria Kanellis
Mike Bennett
will somehow, some way, pull out a victory thanks to his entourage. Gotta keep him strong for the upcoming match with Lance Storm!
“Glory By Honor X” Tag Team Rematch
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin) vs. The All Night Express (Rhett Titus & Kenny King)
This one is tough to predict. WGTT have a title shot set for the WM Weekend shows, but ANX also have a title shot in the bank that has yet to be scheduled. I predict
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team
cement their heelish ways by targeting Titus's leg, and ride that to victory. I wouldn't be shocked to see them get cocky in their dominance and lose by fluke roll-up though.
Special Attraction Tag Team Match
The Amazing Red & "Technical Lightning" TJ Perkins vs. The House of Truth ("Unbreakable" Michael Elgin & Roderick Strong) w/ Truth Martini
Elgin and Strong both have title shots upcoming so I can't imagine the little guys are there to do anything but make Elgin look like a BEAST.
House of Truth
win.
NO DQ - Grudge Match
Jimmy Jacobs takes on "Wrestling's Worst Nightmare" Kevin Steen
This could be the MotN if they book it right, and from a character standpoint it's very interesting to see how the "reformed" Jimmy Jacobs handles things. He said on a recent video wire that he was going to fight Evil with Evil, but Corino says that he will talk Jimmy out of that. Should be a bloodbath.
Kevin Steen
continues to haunt ROH and build towards the inevitable match with Davey Richards that will be the biggest thing in ROH since the Final Countdown tour.
ROH World Television Championship
Jay Lethal defends against "The Dominant Male" Tommaso Ciampa w/ The Embassy LTD
TITLE VS. STREAK.
Tommaso Ciampa
brings home the gold for the investors of Embassy, Ltd. and we get more delicious overacting from Barrister R.D. Evans. Man I'm booking the heels strong tonight!
ROH World Tag Team Championship
Jay & Mark Briscoe defend against The Young Bucks
But the heel run ends here.
The Briscoe Brothers
are a lock to retain, in a match that has MotN potential. The Briscoes ARE ROH, and it just doesn't make sense for the Bucks to be the ones defending against WGTT at the WM Weekend PPVs, and it makes even LESS sense for them to be the ones defending the titles against CHIKARA at Synergy, given that they're frequent CHIKARA guest stars (and also that the Briscoes started the whole angle!). The Bucks stop here, which will allow for the rematch with ANX at Showdown in the Sun, presumably.
Main Event
“Young Wolves Rising”
ROH World Champion Davey Richards & Kyle O'Reilly vs. "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards & Adam Cole
This is the toughest match to predict on the card, but I will go with
Team Ambition
, Davey Richards and Kyle O'Reilly. I have a hunch where they're going with this whole Davey Richards thing, and I think it makes the most sense from the most different viewpoints to really get the NYC crowd's dander up by putting Davey over their beloved Eddie Edwards AGAIN, in some fashion. If I had to guess, I would say that the finish will be O'Reilly pinning Cole.
Definitely should be a great show despite the lack of a World Title match, and I highly recommend a purchase!
