Brian Johnson and PJ Black defeat Master and Machine

ROH TV January 17

PJ Black starts out with Garrison. Johnson tagged himself in and took a quick bodyslam from Garrison. Marcus Kross tagged in and hit several moves on Johnson before Black jumped in and took out both wrestlers sending ROH to commercial.

Back from the break PJ Black had control over Kross. Johnson put Kross in an abdominal stretch and attempted to use the ropes for leverage, but PJ Black prevented Johnson from cheating. Johnson would go for a cover with his feet on the ropes, but Black stopped that too.

Johnson refused to tag out and Garrison took out both men including a spine buster on PJ Black and a Stinger Splash on both men. Kross hit a Skywalker elbow on Johnson, but Black got a super kick on Cross. Johnson then hit Kross in the face and pinned Kross for the victory.
