This set of television tapings is building to Ring of Honor’s Best in the World pay-per-view in Baltimore on June 29th.

Episode 347 quick summary —

Kelly Klein defeated Madison Rayne
Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Dawgs (Rhett Titus & Will Ferrara)
The “Neon Ninja” Facade vs. Eli Isom ended in a no contest as Bully Ray interfered. Cheeseburger came out to confront Bully and ate a chokeslam, which brought out Joe Koff to fire Bully from his “enforcer” position. This led to Bully announcing that he is no longer retired and will be back in action as a wrestler.
The Young Bucks defeated The Briscoes by DQ when The Briscoes used chairs to lay out the Bucks. They also laid out Hangman Page and Marty Scurll.

Episode 348: Dissension within the Bullet Club?

Jay Lethal defeated Punishment Martinez

This started with Lethal hitting seven consecutive tope dives on Martinez. Lethal then went to work on the knee of the big man. Martinez hit a step-up enzuigiri and a spinwheel kick off the top, but his leg was wobbly.

They had a classic rookie vs. veteran match. Lethal connected with an elbow drop off the top rope and went back to work on the leg with the Figure Four. Martinez escaped and went for a discus lariat, failing due to the knee injury. Lethal hit a superkick into the Lethal Injection for the win.

– A video package showed Jenny Rose cutting a promo where she challenged Women of Honor Champion Sumie Sakai.

Shane Taylor vs. Joey “Diesel” Daddiego ended in a no contest

Taylor put a beating on Daddiego, hit a double sit-out chokeslam, and followed up with a splash, but Daddiego kicked out. Taylor missed a rolling corner splash as Daddiego fired back. He hit the Daddiego Driver, but Taylor kicked out.

The two brawled outside as the match ended in a no contest, with Daddiego finding himself on the wrong end of a Taylor splash from the apron across two folding chairs. Referees ran in to stop the beating and one of them took a chokeslam for his efforts. On commentary, Ian Riccaboni mentioned that Taylor will be fined for that. Security ran in, and Taylor hit a uranage and a sit-out piledriver on them

– Cody and Brandi Rhodes talked about Cody challenging Dalton Castle for the ROH World Championship at Best in the World.

– ROH recapped Bully Ray chokeslamming Cheeseburger and his announcement from earlier. There was also a recap of last week’s main event where The Young Bucks defeated The Briscoes by disqualification.

The Bullet Club (Cody, Marty Scurll & Hangman Page) w/ Burnard the Business Bear defeated SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky)

A fancy cartwheel by Cody started us off, and he went for a delayed suplex and bicep flex on Sky heading into a break. Out of commercial, Scurll popped out of a headscissors by Daniels and tagged in Page, who faced off with Kazarian. Page hit a standing dropkick on Daniels and a moonsault on Kazarian.

Cody came back in and springboard kicked Scurll on accident (or was it?), allowing Daniels to cut him off. A triple team on Cody ended with Sky hitting a jumping hurricanrana. A simultaneous lariat by Cody and Daniels resulted in a double down as Daniels tagged in Sky and Cody brought in Scurll. Scurll connected with a superkick to the knee, then the Bullet Club triple teamed Sky with a drop toe hold, dropkick, and running Shooting Star Press by Page. Daniels hit an Arabian press moonsault on Cody to the outside.

A big dive sequence was followed up by a superplex on Daniels from Cody, and everyone was down. Riccaboni reminded us that ROH uses a 20 count, and everyone came in at 19. Scurll attacked the finger of Daniels, but Daniels used an STO to cut him off. Page powerbombed Daniels, but Kazarian hit a cutter. Sky slingshotted in from the outside and also landed a cutter on Cody.

Scurll used a pumphandle brainbuster on the knee to set up the chicken wing, but Sky was able to escape. Page hit a buckshot double lariat and Cody grabbed Sky, using a unique new move on him. Page then hit the Rite of Passage on Sky for the win.

SoCal Uncensored cut off the post-match celebration, but the Bullet Club grabbed Daniels. Scurll accidentally struck Cody with a cane as he went to hit Daniels. Was this retribution for the earlier kick? The show ended with everyone wondering if that cane shot was accidental, and whether the Bullet Club is in working order.
