We open the show backstage with the All-Night Express and Veda Scott. Veda puts over their surprise return and challenge for the tag team titles.

King says hes done alot in his career… but no matter what he's done, hes never stopped chasing the high that is… wrestling in an ROH ring!!

Rhett then chimes in and says it's like an addiction and one they have both been itching to scratch. Rhett says ROH has been through alot the last few years… and it seems that alot of people keep questioning “what honor in pro wrestling means”...

King pats his brother on the shoulder and tells him that they are gonna show the people in the ring, just what Honor means. King smiles and then says they are gonna lead the charge to restore honor..

Rhett then brings up the OGK and how they are a symptom of what is wrong with ROH and why the company has had to surfer.. he then says that as soon as OGK grows a pair and agrees to face them… they will be taking the gold from them and thats a promise.

King then jumps in with a stern/serious warning to Taven and Bennett.. he tells them they are real disrespectful to the brand, the fans… and the legacy of this company and that's real talk… he says its not only a new chapter for Ring Of Honor… but its a new chapter for the All-Night Express..

Rhett cuts in and hypes up King and then says “we are the All-Night Express”… King then all hyped up jumps in… and yells “we are the Goddamn best!”

Veda then thanks them for their time and wishes them luck on their path towards to the World Tag Team Championships..

Woods and Yehi wrestle a hard hitting technical match.. but it didnt last long.. The match felt like it started and ended in a flash.. Woods came off like he had something to prove..

The finish of the match came when Woods hit his signature Running Knee on Yehi and then followed that up immediately with a second and then a 3rd…the referee checks on Yehi, who is trying to recover but he collpases in the ring and Woods is announced the winner via TKO. The crowd were not happy with the brutal attack from Woods and booed him like crazy.

Woods puts over his training regime and says that Suzuki wants to talk about being a fighting Champion and wanting someone to pry that champion from his cold dead hands.. Well he beat him last week and he just proved he is one of the greatest pure wrestlers in the world and he wants to fight Suzuki and he wants the championship.

Jonathan Gresham is backstage with Veda Scott… and she welcomes him. Veda says that last week Gresham made a huge challenge, when he stepped up to KENTA… immediately after what some are calling one of the best matches in Ring of Honor History.

Gresham puts over that it was one of the best match in Ring Of Honor and it will be hard to top.. he puts himself over as being the best wrestler in ROH history.. but now has an asterix next to his name.. and the only way he can fix that, is by beating the man who now stakes that claim..

Gresham puts over KENTA’s career and says it will be an honor to step into the ring with him and help restore honor… he then pauses and promises that he will beat KENTA and when he does… he's setting his sights back on the Ring of Honor World Championship and that's a promise. Gresham then intensely tells KENTA that he will see him soon and walks away… to end the segment.

The Boss Speaks....
We come back from the promo and Cary Silkin is quickly making his way to the ring.. Silkin grabs a mic and says that he came outhere to address the “The New Era” of Ring Of Honor… their dishonorable actions at Supercard of Honor.. and the stunning revelation that Harvey Wippleman is pulling the strings.

Silkin says that none of this feels right and it doesn't belong in Ring of Honor.. He then says the assault on Young, Taylor, RUSH and Bandido, put them out action indefinitely.... but they won't be on the shelf forever.. and they aren't going to just sit back and take being jumped.. So The New Era, better expect a war!

He then says that seeing as Harvey let the cat out of the bag and let the world known that Glory By Honor will take place on July 6th.. he is going to make it official… it will be Team New Era against Team ROH… but it wont be a normal 8 man match… He puts over that the 8 men will go to war and that war needs to be contained.. they will do battle inside a steel cage!! The crowd erupts cheering, screaming and chanting “ROH”.

Silkin puts over how the match is must win for Team ROH and he doesn't know what will happen to the future of the company.. if they don't prevail… he then thanks the fans again for supporting ROH and sits the mic down in the ring and waves and then is gone.. just as quickly as he appeared.

A Block
Women of Honor
Championship Tournament
Delmi Exo v MIRAI

The finish of the match came when Delmi and MIRAI are trading heavy punches in the center of the ring with neither woman holding back. The two women trade punches for what seems like eternity, with each blow getting more intense; the crowd is in complete silence, except for the odds screams of “Delmi” and “Mirai”.

Suddenly out of nowhere Mirai shoves Delmi backwards and palm slaps her on the chest, which staggers Delmi, sending her stumbling backwards. Delmi quickly caught herself and she starts to turn around to yell at MIRAI for the slap... but as soon as Delmi turns around she is leveled by a devastating "Shotgun Lariat".... that knocks her out of her boots, giving MIRAI the huge win and advancement in the tournament!

The crowd is going insane clapping and cheering for MIRAI... she stands in the ring very humbly and raises 1 arm into the air to acknowledge the support from the fans. Mirai then signals she wants to be the champion as the show fades to black.
33 minutes 54 seconds​

We then cut to a surprise ending of the show and we see Chris Hero who is inside an empty gym and he is sitting on the edge of a wrestling ring; restlessly tapping his fingers and lost in thought.

He slowly looks up towards the camera and says that eventually time comes for all of us.. and we have to make the most of the time we have... he says you can go from being a KING on top of the world to a nothing... in the blink of and eye...

Hero says hes been away from the ring for a very long time and he's been wanting to get back inside the squared circle… but the cards were just never right.. but its now or never.. and he called his shot..

He starts talking about his history with Ring of Honor and how much the company means tl him.. he then says when Ring Of Honor was set free.. he knew that he had to be a part of it..
Hero says that he needs to prove something to himself.. just like Mark has something to prove.. Hero then challenges Mark to defend the championship against him at Glory By Honor in NYC!

Hero then stands up and walks over to a punching bag and starts intensely practicing elbow shots… each one more and more intense. Hero then stops and looks towards the camera and says "Mark... the signal has been lit……. and right now Ring Of Honor needs a………… Hero!!"

With that Hero starts training with the punching bag again as the show fades to footage of a city skyline and we see Hero's logo illuminated in the sky.
