Before the taping begins, Ric Flair comes to the ring to a huge standing ovation. He puts over the Philadelphia crowd and their enthusiasm, respect, and wildness. He talks about how he came to ROH three months ago to become ROH Ambassador, but he wants to be straight with the crowd and tell the fans that he's decided to go back to WWE, which surprisingly got applause from the crowd. He put over the company and how hard everyone works to bring a good product to the fans, but he realizes that he belongs in WWE and that's where he wants to finish his career. He thanks the fans for accepting him as part of Ring Of Honor and tells everyone to keep supporting ROH.

Episode #13

-The show opens with Austin Aries coming out to the ring to address the crowd. He says with his good looks and youthful exuberance, he's fooled a lot of people into thinking he's a hot young prospect, but the reality is that he's a seasoned, well-traveled veteran. He says that no matter where he travels, the level of competition makes ROH the best stage in professional wrestling, and it's all because of the fickle, demanding, bloodthirsty fans. He's come out here trying to give the fans more and more, but it's never enough and it ends now because Aries is going to stop giving and start taking. He says the first thing he's taken in ROH is the spotlight, the second thing he took was everything Jerry Lynn, Tyler Black, and Bryan Danielson had to throw at him in the four way a few weeks ago and nobody could beat him. He called out Jerry Lynn, demanding that he come out to the ring and hand Aries the ROH World Title. Lynn didn't show, so Aries said that the reality Lynn refuses to face is going to have to come smack him in the head.

Jacobs pulls out his old friend the steel spike and takes a run, but Delirious moves and they do the "burying the spike in the top turnbuckle" spot, and Delirious gets the Cobra Suplex for 2. Delirious goes for Shadows Over Hell, but Jacobs throws the chair at him and Delirious happens to fall onto the apron right in front of that table. Delirious tries for a suplex, but Jacobs goes to the eyes and goes for the spear off the apron, but Delirious moves and instead of breaking the table, Jacobs just bounces off it, so Delirious hits Shadows OVer Hell to the floor and puts Jacobs through the table, then rolls him back in the ring and gets the three count. Great brawl. Jacobs teases cutting his wrists with the spike after the match, but the referees come out and talk him out of it.
