With this, Cole approaches the ring...and it's Storytime with Adam Cole, and he says that he's ended his battles with O'Reilly, and says that Lethal has never beat him in a title match.

Jay Briscoe shows up. He gives a shout out to ODB for returning his custom title belt. He confronts the judgements about the endings about the World Title, but dismisses the fact that he was lucky and reminds the fans that he is the champ. Jay fels that he is the baddest man in pro wrestling/ Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up to a thunderous ovation. Samoa Joe agrees with Jay - that Jay did not get lucky. He commends Jay for getting the job done at the 13th Anniversary, and compares him to himself... but Joe says that Jay is not as bad as he is and simply challenges him for the ROH World Title at Supercard of Honor IX.

Jimmy Jacobs is in the ring, who is not impressed with the fact that Samoa Joe threw out a challenge to Jay Briscoe for the World Title. He doesn't deny Joe's abilities, but Joe hasn't been in ROH since the days of Tyler Black (Seth Rollins, anybody?). Despite all of Joe's successes outside of ROH, Jacobs points out that ROH "gives" Joe a place to return to.

REVIEW!!!

Sup, everyone and welcome to the Valentine's Day Edition of the Ring of Honor Wrestling recap! In the combustible episode of Ring of Honor, we see things get more intense between the four mean who will square off in a Four Corner Survival Match for the ROH World title at ROH's 13th Anniversary! Also, we see the return of "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles to ROH Television, but this time, he brings his Bullet Club stablemates with him, Matt and Nick Jackson - The Young Bucks. For this review, I will not be dividing the review into topics as usual, I'm just going to talk about the show in general. Let's get started!

Things are getting even more heated on the road to the Four Corner Survival Match for the ROH World Championship at the 13th Anniversary Show. ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe was on commentary for three separate matches that features his three opponents: Michael Elgin, Tommaso Ciampa and Hanson. Throughout those matches, the three contenders got in the face of the champion, but the final face off between Jay and Elgin is when he had enough. Things broke down in the ring during Elgin's match with Moose (who joined in the brawl, despite not having anything to do with the situation between Elgin and Briscoe), when all four men got into a brawl, which also included Jay's brother Mark and Moose. However, when Moose speared Jay, the previously injured should, along with his ribs, may have been affected by that spear. Of course, this will not stop the two-time World Champion, but he will have a huge disadvantage going into the World title match on March 1st.

Bullet Club members A.J. Styles & The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) make an appearance for Ring of Honor to take on Cedric Alexander, Matt Sydal and ACH. This man was a CLASSIC! I guess that's what happens when you get six of the top singles and tag wrestlers in the world in one ring. The Bullet Club members tore the house down, with sick triple team moves, and not to mention, a humongous Superkick Party that ensued throughout the match as well. The match could have went either way, especially with close pins by members of both teams. The match was five-star and PPV quality, and I would give anything to see this six man tag team match again. Seriously. 

Well, that's it for this week. Tune in next week for another ROH Review. HONOR LIVES!
