In the TV main event, Ace Steel and Colt Cabana, the multiple-time ROH Tag Team Champions, faced off against the team of Cibernetico and the ROH World Champion Johnny Jeter. In the closing moments of the match, Steel was prepared to pull off a huge upset as he set up Jeter for his Steel Spike, only to be betrayed by Cabana, the most popular wrestler in Ring of Honor!
After the match, Cabana helped The Heavies beat down Steel before revealing that he was the stable's newest member. After adding former Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness the previous week, The Heavies seem to be unstoppable heading into the War.
However, after being assaulted by Jeter's stable, ROH Commissioner Jimmy Hart has something up his sleeve. Last week, Hart was seen on the phone, speaking with an unknown party. Apparently, a ten-man tag team match has been arranged for War of the Wire, pitting Jeter, Cibernetico, Sonny Siaki, and the European Connection (Claudio Castagnoli and Nigel McGuiness) against... Well, that we don't know.
Also announced for the War card:
Alex Shelley will defend the ROH Pure Title against his former friend turned longtime rival Austin Aries. These two have had some of the best ROH bouts in recent history, and the latest chapter in their rivalry should be no exception.
Ace Steel will face off against his former friend Colt Cabana of The Heavies in a grudge match. With Colt's backing, Steel has risen to main-event status in Ring Of Honor. However, will he be able to maintain his momentum against the man who helped bring him to the top? And can he maintain his composure against such a hated rival and not make a fatal mistake?
Sean Waltman continues his quest for ROH gold, this time asking Vampiro to team with him to take on the Briscoe Brothers. Since finally settling their score with the Second City Saints, Jay and Mark Briscoe have had a stranglehold on the ROH tag division. Waltman tried and failed to unseat them at Death Before Dishonor with Shocker as his partner. Will he have better luck with Vampiro?
El Hijo Del Santo and Mikey Whipwreck have been at each other's throats for the better part of six months, but other circumstances and feuds have been getting in the way of a proper PPV match. This will not be the case at WotW, because these two will tangle.
"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson came to Santo's aid last week when he was double-teamed by Whipwreck and Devon Storm. This infuriated Storm, who has demanded a match with Danielson at WotW.
Other matches are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, as several main-eventers and upper-midcarders still don't have announced matches, but are being advertised to appear. Plus, the PPV is titled War of the Wire, which means that at least one match is likely to be contested under barbed-wire rules. However, Jimmy Hart has yet to announce which, if any, match will carry that stipulation.
Things are getting interesting in Ring of Honor. Stay tuned for further updates!
