Also, where was Bully Ray here? Klein tapped, but the law and order of ROH was nowhere to be seen. I guess he’s too busy with the Kingdom.

Tenille Dashwood defeated Brandi Rhodes @ 7:35 via pin [*½] This was not good, as Brandi had major issues keeping up with Dashwood here. Her transitions are still sloppy and her execution is poor, she was way out of her league here and didn’t belong in the spot.
