Ring of Honor held their final television taping of 2016 on Sunday at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
EPISODE #1
Kyle O’Reilly came out with his ROH World Championship to address his win at Final Battle, but was cut off by Adam Cole. Cole complained that he prepared for a regular title defense and was thrown off by the last-minute No DQ stipulation change. Dalton Castle came out, feeling he is owed a title shot for beating Cole. Bobby Fish came out, too, also wanting a title shot. This set up a 6-man tag match with O'Reilly, Fish & Castle facing Cole & The Young Bucks.
