ROH Final Battle 2016 results

Two new champions were crowned on the night

#5 ROH World Six-man Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals – The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O’Ryan, and Vinny Marseglia) vs Kushida, Lio Rush, and Jay White

The new six-man tag team belts are unveiled before the match

Before the match started, Corino comments on Cody’s actions saying that it is a result of Kevin Sullivan and that Cody may be the “evil” he promised coming to ROH.

The action starts fast paced. Kevin Kelly mentions Taven’s bad luck in Final Battle shows in the past. The Kingdom do not have momentum on their side and they try to recuperate, but Kushida, Rush, and White are in total control.

The finish sees Taven throw Rush to the ropes and O’Ryan hit him with the Cane. The Kingdom hit Rush with a triple team powerbomb to get the win and become the new six-man tag team champions.

Winners: AND NEW ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions, The Kingdom


#6 ROH Television Championship – Triple Threat Match – Marty Scurll(c) vs Will Ospreay vs Dragon Lee

As mentioned, Bobby Fish is not in this match, either due to an injury or a storyline.

As expected, this match delivers a high-flying spot fest, and it is one that simply cannot be missed out on. The finish sees Ospreay hit a twisting spin kick to Dragon Lee followed by a move that looks like a Lethal Injection.

Marty Scurll grabs Ospreay and throws him out of the ring, he then applies the cross face chicken wing to Dragon Lee, who taps out, thus ensuring Scurll retains the Television championship.

Winner: AND STILL ROH Television Champion, Marty Scurll


#7 ROH World Tag Team Championship – The Young Bucks(c) vs The Briscoes

Kevin Kelly makes a comment about The Bucks’ future in ROH, which tends to be an indicator that they are staying.

The Superkick party starts rather early on in the bout. They also power bomb The Briscoes on the apron, and Corino calls it a tribute to Kevin Steen (AKA Kevin Owens in the WWE). The Young Bucks try to go for The Terminator on The Briscoes but they avoid and counter with a clothesline.

With the momentum now on The Briscoes side, they start a superkick party on The Bucks, who then retaliate. The crowd is red hot for this match, which has seen little to no actual tags made. The finale of the match sees The Bucks hitting Mark with The Meltzer Driver, and Jay breaks the pin up.

Both Briscoes end up on their knees and The Bucks hit a long series of superkicks, which The Briscoes end up no-selling. They beg the Bucks for more, who happily oblige and hit them with about 10 superkicks each, and The Bucks pin them for win.

Winners: AND STILL ROH World Tag Team Champions, The Young Bucks

The arena goes black, and up on the screen is “Broken” Matt Hardy, which leads the arena to erupt. Broken Matt says that he and Brother Nero will be coming to ROH to go after the “Spot Monkeys” that are The Young Bucks to prove that they are the best team in the galaxy.

He says that he will make the spot monkeys and the rednecks obsolete, and then he will delete them. The crowd then chants “Delete” with Hardy, and continue to do so for the next few minutes.


#8 ROH World Championship – No DQ match – Adam Cole(c) vs Kyle O’Reilly

Nigel McGuiness joins the commentary and talks about how O’ Reilly asked for the stipulation. When Kevin Kelly asks about the Broken Matt Hardy video that aired just then, McGuiness kept quiet about it.

The match starts out with a full-fledged brawl, even going outside the arena. O’Reilly momentarily has momentum. Adam Cole works on O’Reilly’s injured shoulder which had been taped for months(but is not taped on the night). The match is an all-out fight, with Adam Cole busting open O’Reilly with the ROH World Title.

Kyle O’Reilly is crimson red throughout the match, drenched in blood.

O’Reilly manages to bust open Cole after he DDT’s him through the table. In the ring, Adam Cole pours thumbtacks and tries to suplex O’Reilly onto them, but O’Reilly fights out and applies a guillotine choke, which he transitions into a triangle choke.

Cole powers him up and slams him onto the thumbtacks. Cole tries to finish him there but O’Reilly counters and gives Cole a brainbuster onto the thumbtacks, and applies an armbar submission on Cole on top of the thumbtacks, forcing him to tap out.

Winner: AND NEW ROH World Champion, Kyle O’Reilly

Cary Silkin presents the title to O’Reilly, who celebrates to close the show.
