*Jonathan Gresham to the ring…Eddie Edwards used to be what ROH was all about, but not anymore…Gresham will face him at Rebellion…Kenny King interrupts, he’s tired of hearing Gresham talk…time for fighting.

*Motor City Machine Guns backstage with Gia…they’ll show Bullet Club once again why they’re the best damn tag team that has ever lived.

*Good Brothers backstage with Gia…they talk up the Multiverse bout with the Briscoes as well as the tag title elimination match at Rebellion…meanwhile PCO is seen nearby screaming for Jonah to no one in particular in the parking garage…after a break…Jonah attacks PCO, beating him all over the garage but is unable to keep him down…PCO eventually drops the top dog by slamming a car door on him several times & “buries him” by tossing a few shovels full of asphalt on his chest.

(3)  Josh Alexander defeats Madman Fulton…Josh grabs an Ankle Lock for the submission win (01:38)…AFTER…Ace Austin thinks about sliding in when Josh refuses to release the hold, but is chased off by a look from Josh…Fulton attacks Josh from behind but Josh quickly returns to the ankle lock & gives it a nasty twist, ripping off Fulton’s boot & possibly “breaking his ankle” as Ace backs up the ramp & offers no help.

*Trey Miguel approaches Mike Bailey backstage to warn him that if he thinks Ace Austin is really his friend, he’s sadly mistaken (as we’ve just seen proof of)…Bailey says he always expects the unexpected…clearly paying attention to the lessons of Vinny Mac.
