We go to commercial.

We are back and Nigel McGuinness is in the ring and he says that we are at unprecedented moment in the history of Ring of Honor. Due to the injuries suffered by Jay Briscoe two weeks ago on television, he was forced to strip Jay of the World Title.

Today, for the first time in history, the Ring of Honor World Title is vacant. The War with SCUM is over and honor was restored. One of the casualties will be Jay’s title reign. Nigel says that it was not an easy decision and it was not his decision. No one questions Jay’s toughness or what he has done. When the doctor looks at Jay’s shoulder and says that Jay will not be able to wrestle for 3 or 4 months, there is nothing that he can do.

Nigel says that he has the decision to make a new Ring of Honor World Champion. In three weeks, we will start a tournament with sixteen of the top competitors. It will end in the home town of Ring of Honor . . . Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

It is time to refocus on rebuilding this company. In the absence of a World Champion, he is going to put an emphasis on the tag titles and he will bring in some of the top tag teams from around the world.

The Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions, Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish make their way to the ring.

Nigel says that Kyle and Bobby are the best tag team in the world today.

Bobby takes the mic and he says that Nigel said it. They are the greatest tag team in the world today. It is no secret that since these titles have been around their waists, TV ratings are up. The live attendance is up. They are here to do Nigel and Ring of Honor a favor. The tag title defenses are piling up and their mythical level as champions has made them man up.

Tonight, they have the Forever Fooligans . . . Hooligans in a Proving Ground match. As the saviors of Ring of Honor, he has an offer for Nigel. Instead of a Proving Ground match, why not make it a World Tag Title match.

Bobby says not to get this twisted. They did not do it for the fans.

Nigel says that sounds like a fantastic idea so we will have the match.

Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards make their way to the ring.

Nigel asks Davey and Eddie what they have to say about the title match later tonight.

Davey says that he is giving them props for having the balls to put the titles on the line. Romero and Koslov are a great team. The champions are a great team. However, the former champions, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards are not in the World Title Tournament because they are ready to become World Tag Team Champions. Whatever happens tonight, he tells the champions to keep the belts warm because they are coming to collect.

We go to commercial.

We are back with Inside Ring of Honor and we take a look at what is going to happen with the World Title.

We see footage from Jay Briscoe after he was stripped of the title.

Kevin says that Jay Briscoe will be out between three and six months.

We go to footage of Michael Elgin saying that he will not accept being handed the title because he would not be the best. The best earns everything he has. He refuses to be handed the World Title.

Sixteen men will enter a tournament to see who will become the next World Champion starting in a few weeks and ending at Death Before Dishonor in Philadelphia. Every match in the tournament will be on television.

We go to comments from Michael Elgin. He says he did everything Nigel wanted in Ring of Honor and now Nigel has done what he asked. Sixteen men to determine who will be the next World Champion. Any man can win a match, but it takes a real man and a true champion to win four matches. Michael says that he has fought long and hard for Ring of Honor and now he will fight for himself.

Before the tournament starts, we have a qualifying match between Adam Page and Silas Young on this week’s show.

We go to commercial.

We are back and QT Marshall is at the announce table trying to argue that he should be in the tournament.

Before the match starts, QT gets in the ring and he tells Nigel that it is ridiculous and utterly appalling to have the people decide whether he should be in this tournament. QT says that the people would want him fired right now.

Page takes the mic and he says the people did not come here to hear QT Marshall talk. Adam tells Nigel to put the doofus in the match.

Nigel tells the referee to ring the bell and all three men are in the match.
