“Machine Gun” Karl Anderson vs. “Unbreakable” Michael Elgin

They lock up in the middle of the ring, and Elgin takes his opponent back into the ropes before they break up and go at it again. Anderson takes the second advantage, again backing things up into the ropes. Anderson tries for a shoulder tackle, but big Elgin doesn’t go down. He tries for a second, and Elgin dodges and hits him with a belly-to-back suplex. Unbreakable with an impressive nearly a 30-second delayed vertical suplex on the 240-pound opponent.

The action spills to the outside, and it looks like Elgin has tweaked his knee, which Anderson immediately pinpoints and goes to work on.Back in the ring and Elgin gets trapped in a grapevined leglock, but pounds his way out of it. Anderson pulls down his knee pad and drops a bare knee down into the injured leg. Back from commercial break, and Machine Gun is still stomping away on the knee. Elgin gets back to his feet, but is taken down with a big uppercut for a two-count. Anderson misses a splash in the corner and crotches himself on the second turnbuckle, and Elgin takes advantage  with a huge German suplex into the ropes.

Both men slowly make their way back to a vertical base and begin to trade right hands, with Elgin getting the better of the exchange. Belly-to-belly suplex connects, followed by a running clothesline in the corner and the Black Hole Slam for a very close two-count. Elgin heads up to the second rope and tries to pull his opponent up for a superplex, but Anderson nails him with a jumping kick to the head, knocking him back down to the mat. Anderson off the top now with a diving neckbreaker, but he only gets two.

Out of nowhere, Elgin hits a side slam backbreaker (Irish Curse) and hits the Buckle Bomb, but Anderson responds with a big boot. He tries for the Ace Crusher, but Elgin counters. Half a dozen counters by both men now, as neither wants to go down, but eventually Anderson with a site-down tombstone powerbomb! 1…2…kickout. Anderson up to his feet and lifts his opponent with a fireman’s carry, but Elgin fights out, but runs right into the Ace Crusher! 1…2…3.

Winner: Karl Anderson

-The code of honor is adhered to after the match, and the fans chant “please come back” at the Machine Gun.

Daviene vs. MsChif

MsChif has yet to be pinned or submitted in Ring of Honor, and now takes on the young 18-year-old. MsChif takes her opponent down into the corner and puts the boots to the back of her head, but ROH ring announcer Veda Scott hits the ring and causes a DQ. Referees try to separate these two women, but they keep breaking free and going at it.

Winner: MsChif (by DQ)

 -Video interview with BJ Whitmer on his future World title shot against either Adam Cole or Jay Briscoe on May 18th.

-Prince Nana takes a phone call on commentary, sings a song, and then leaves as Kevin Kelly is left looking dumbfounded.

Kyle O’Reilly vs. Davey Richards (w/ Eddie Edwards)

 No ring announcer and certainly no code of honor as Davey Richards kicks his opponent off the apron and immediately goes to work. Bobby Fish joins Kevin Kelly on commentary. Back in the ring, Richards kicks away at the chest of O’Reilly, and drops a knee on his arm. More kicks find their mark, followed by a wrist lock into a quick armdrag. Kyle counters with a huge knee to the head, followed by a belly-to-back suplex; Davey grabs the ropes to break up the pin. Kyle with another suplex, and he locks in a vertical armbar.

Davey breaks out of the hold and the two trade kicks, until Kyle sweeps the leg. Richards fights back and scoops up his opponent for a shouder breaker. He heads to the top rope and looks for a diving headbutt, but Kyle catches him with a gogoplata! The American Wolf gets his feet on the ropes, and the two go back to trading right hands at a vertical base. Kyle gets dumped to the outside, and Davey suicide dives into the barricade to take him out.Back in the ring and Richards hits a missile dropkick off the top rope, but it looks like he suffered a knee injury on the fall to the outside. He uses the other leg instead to deliver about a dozen kicks to the mid-section of O’Reilly in the corner. Kyle counters the Alarm Clock and hits a FIsherman’s Suplex pin out of nowhere for a very close two-count as we head to a commercial.

Back from the break now, and Davey Richards has Kyle locked in a Cross Arm Breaker. Kyle counters out and delivers a huge kick, but is caught with an Alarm Clock. O’Reilly doesn’t stay down though, and hits a tilt-the-whirl DDT off the second rope, but Davey counters into the Cross Arm Breaker! Kyle gets to the ropes to break up the hold, and Davey heads up to the top rope. His opponent joins him on the top rope and fires away at the injured knee – Richards with a sunset flip powerbomb, followed by a huge kick. Once again he goes up top, and a double foot stomp finds its mark.

O’Reilly pops up and catches the American Wolf with an ankle lock. That doesn’t do the trick, so he locks in the Sharpshooter. Davey drags himself to the ropes, and the ref forces him to break the hold. The two fight to the ring apron and begin trading kicks, but Richards grabs the arm drops down, slamming his opponent off the side of the ring. Richards tries for a suicide dive, but his knee gives out; Kyle grabs him and lands a sick Brainbuster to the floor. They roll back into the ring, but somehow Richards manages to kick out before a count of three.

Both men struggle to the top rope, trying to gain the advantage, and Davey catches his opponent in the Cross Arm Breaker over the top rope! He breaks the hold before getting DQ’d, and comes off the top rope with a double stomp, putting O’Reilly through the table that he had fallen on top of! Richards nurses his knee on the outside as Kyle barely makes it back into the ring by a count of 18. The two stare each other down, and O’Reilly spits in his former partners face. Richards locks in the Cross Arm Breaker, and this time Kyle taps out.

Winner: Davey Richards
