ROH TV Results (3/17): Steen Promo, Lethal Vs. Strong

The show opens up with a video package of the main event from the 10th Anniversary Show, which saw Adam Cole and Eddie Edwards defeat Kyle O'Reilly and ROH World Champion Davey Richards when Cole hit a cross body on Richards for the three count. After the match, Richards shook the hand of Cole, but O'Reilly refused to shake Cole's hand because he doesn't respect his former "Future Shock" teammate. Kevin Steen appeared on a balcony in the venue and told Richards that until he gets his shot one on one for the ROH World Championship, he would be Richards's personal nightmare.

Adam Cole vs. Chris Silvio

The opening match was quick, but did see Silvio get in a fair amount of offense against Cole. Kyle O'Reilly was on commentary for the match and put over his dislike for Cole. The match came to its conclusion when Silvio hit Cole with a super punch, but instead of going for the cover he posed for the crowd. Cole recovered and hit an enziguri on Silvio, followed up by a Florida Key suplex for the victory.

Winner: Adam Cole via pinfall (4:50)

Following the match O'Reilly challenged Cole to a match at Showdown in the Sun. O'Reilly explained that the only way that Cole could earn his respect was for him to beat O'Reilly in a match. Cole accepted the match for the second night of the event.
