ROH London, England, live results: Ospreay vs. Scurll; Cole vs. Lethal


Submitted by reader Jamie Thomas
– Dalton Castle defeated Lio Rush in a good little match.
– Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Addiction
The Addiction were hugely over with the crowd.
– Jay White defeated Donovan Dijak
The crowd was quiet during this until Dijak did a moonsault from the apron to the floor, getting the crowd into it with a “This is awesome” chant.
– The Briscoes defeated ROH World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks in a non-title match
Originally scheduled to be one-on-one matches between the two teams, Jay got on the mic and pretty much said what the crowd was thinking and made it a tag match. There were lots of high spots, including a Razors Edge off the top rope. The Briscoes ended up with the win and were celebrating with the tag titles, until Nigel McGuinness came out and said it was a non-title match. The crowd booed, but the Bucks were over huge. There was a tremendous reaction to the whole match.
– McGuinness came out for a promo. There were lots of “Thank you Nigel” chants. He said his match with Bryan Danielson 10 years ago in Liverpool was legendary, and the title match tonight had potential to match it. Nobody bought that.
– Kyle O’Reilly defeated Travis Banks by making him tap out to the armbar.
Banks is a New Zealand wrestler based in the UK with a lot of potential.
– Marty Scurll defeated ROH World Television Champion Will Ospreay to win the title
Both guys were hugely over, with Scurll the crowd favorite. Lots of heat for this match. It wasn’t as good as their RevPro match from January but still a hell of a match. The finish saw Will Ospreay flash two fingers at Scurll, but Scurll snapped his fingers on both hands, got him in the chicken wing, and Ospreay tapped. There was a huge ovation for Scurll winning the title.
– ROH World Champion Adam Cole defeated Jay Lethal to retain his title
Cole was over huge, but the crowd was largely dead for much of the match being burnt out from the previous one. They got into it near the end, with Lethal kicking out of the Panama Sunrise after a one count. Cole hit the Last Shot and pinned him.
