Tonight’s show starts off with Kyle O’Reilly talking about his two opponents tonight. He says that one of the two men, he respects and admires. That man is AJ Styles. The other man, he considered a friend, a type of friend who does not come along in wrestling. He turned his back on him and betrayed his trust. He embarrassed him in front of the whole world. If he has to go through AJ Styles to get toAdam Cole. If he has to obliterate a man he respects to get to Adam Cole, so be it. He tells Adam he feels sorry for him and his family for having to see him laying in a hospital bed eating his meals through a straw. It ends with you laying face down, unconscious, scarred, and beaten with Kyle O’Reilly’s arm in the air.

We are back with the latest episode of Inside ROH with Mandy Leon. It is time to talk about the feud between Roderick Strong and Jay Lethal.
She mentions the two matches that Roderick and Jay have had this summer and then we see how we got to our third match between the two men, and how it will be for the Ring of Honor Television Title.
Jay Lethal has something to say about this. He says when he thinks of Roderick Strong, he thinks of guts and determination. He appreciates Roddy’s his determination. When he has a kid with the hottest woman in the world, he hopes that he has Roddy’s determination. He won’t be a loser like you, but he will have his determination. How many times do you have to beat someone until they get the hint? Roddy got one over on him and he must have Nigel in his back pocket. You cannot get the job done, so you take the short route. It is just a coincidence that Nigel was sitting at ringside. It is just a coincidence that Nigel named you number one contender when you did not deserve it.
Jay tells Roddy to burn the image of him with both titles into his head. Jay also tells Roderick thatTruth Martini taught him everything he knows. You got Nigel working with you. Nigel, you disgust him. Where were you when Jay had to unfairly put up both titles at All Star Extravaganza. Where were you when I could not get a World Title Match the first time I was in ROH. Where were you when the dealership gave him a crappy Mustang? You were at home playing cards. This is not a card game, this is my life. Jay says he is the greatest wrestler in the world.

After the streamers are taken from the ring and before the match starts, Nigel McGuinness gets on the mic.

He wanted to see who was the best man, but with all of these people out here, that is not going to happen.
He tells the Young Bucks to go to the back. He also wants Bobby Fish and Michael Elgin to go to the back.
For some reason, The Kingdom thinks that is funny because they think they will be able to stay at ringside, but Nigel tells them they have to get their asses to the back.
