Morrissey makes his way out & puts Kaleb through a table.

*W. Morrissey opens the show in the ring with a poignant promo saying he’s back in the place where he hit rock bottom…now he’s clean & sober & he thanks the fans…Brian Myers interrupts with some toxic statements…then backs off saying, “some other time”…Morrissey cuts him off from heading up the ramp, beats him down, & begins setting up another table…Chelsea Green distracts Morrissey, allowing Matt Cardona to knock him silly with the Digital Media belt…Myers & Cardona put Morrissey through the table.

*Tasha Steelz backstage with Gia…she’s not afraid of Rosemary or her Realm…Rosemary & Decay suddenly appear on the nearby monitors…Tasha seems more pissed than scared.

(2)  Jonathan Gresham defeats Rocky Romero…Code of Honor upheld to start…Gresham counters a hiptoss into what looks like the set up for a crossface, but instead ties Romero up in a modified Crucifix for the Roll Up win (10:49)…as Eddie Edwards watches his Rebellion opponent from a backstage monitor.

*Josh Alexander/Moose video package…Josh says he MUST take the title from Moose at Rebellion.

*Ace Austin approaches Mike Bailey backstage…Josh broke Fulton’s ankle, so Ace is trying to strike an alliance with Bailey to aid in the X-Division title match at Rebellion…Bailey plays coy.

*Josh Alexander/Moose video package…Moose says that at Rebellion, Josh will find out why Moose is a Wrestling God.

*Honor No More in the ring…Eddie speaks to how this building birthed ECW & this city birthed ROH…while some would say Philly fans are the most passionate in wrestling, HNM knows they are just the most fickle & spoiled…Bullet Club interrupts to remind them who the cool kids in town really are…Bullet Club to the ring & the brawl is on…the fight congregates at the base of the ramp & PCO takes out everyone with a top buckle senton to the floor…as the French Frankenstein celebrates, Jonah’s music plays as we go to break…

(4)  Jonah defeats PCO…PCO misses the PCO-sault, misses the top buckle senton to the apron…Jonah delivers a backdrop into the guardrail…rolls PCO back in & hits the Tsunami for the win (13:51)…AFTER…Jonah wears PCO out with a steel chair, then places the chair on PCO’s torso to deliver another Tsunami…
