Nigel McGuinness is in the ring and says he's had time to think about it and it will be Jay vs Mark Briscoe for the ROH Title in Baltimore at Best in the World. The American Wolves come out. Davey gets the microphone and says that Nigel is half right Best in the World will be Brother Vs Brother but it will be Davey Richards's vs Eddie Edwards. Steve Corino gets up from commentary and has a microphone. Corino says that he has no beef with either the Briscoes or the Wolves but he does have a problem with Nigel McGuinness. Corino says that Nigel had a chance to make things right from Border Wars and give one of his guys a title shot. Corino calls Nigel a coward, and says that whoever is the champion after Best in the World will face HIS BEST FRIEND THE WRESTLING ICON... Matt Hardy. Corino gets in Nigel's face and Jay tries to take a shot and Corino ducks and Jay hits Davey and a brawl erupts between the two teams. Briscoes vs Wolves will happen in two weeks.

We go backstage to Veda Scott. Veda says that she usually asks the questions now she has the answers about Mschif. Veda says that Mschif tried to blind her and intimidate her because she thought she could, because she thought Veda wouldn't fight back. Veda begs Nigel to give her a match with Mschif saying that he knows she can wrestle and she wants to prove that HONOR LIVES in Veda Scott, so no one will ever underestimate her again.

Match 2

Cherry Bomb pinned MsChif with a Death Valley Driver when Veda Scott got involved and distracted Mschif.

We go backstage to Roderick Strong. Strong says for months he's been asking Nigel McGuinness for competition and now he gets it in International Superstar Taiji Ishimori. Strong says that he and Ishimori have met several times in Japan, but this is the first time Ishimori will step in to a ROH ring with MR RING OF HONOR and all he can say to Nigel is THANK YOU.
