Semifinal #1 - Bryan Danielson & Second City Saints vs. Jody Fleisch, Eric Young, and Claudio Castagnoli

Finals - Bryan Danielson & Second City Saints vs. Johnny Jeter, Devon Storm, and Mikey Whipwreck
It's all come down to this. If Jeter's team wins, all three men will receive title shots at Anniversary Celebration. If Danielson and the Saints pull it off, they get Alex Shelley in a fourway. One way or another, the main event for ROH's first pay-per-view is set. After a lot of back-and-forth action (during which Johnny Jeter injured his back), Devon Storm rolls up Danielson by the tights for the win.
