-Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness announced that the Hanson-Elgin main event would determine the number-one contender for Jay Briscoe's Heavyweight Title. He brought out Tommaso Ciampa...he said there was a zero-tolerance policy regarding Ciampa striking referees, but it was an accident when Ciampa hit an official at Final Battle. Nigel said he put his neck on the line to defend Ciampa to ROH higher-ups, so Ciampa wouldn't be fired but he felt like Ciampa owed him one. Ciampa wanted a title shot, but Elgin came out to dispute his claim...Tommaso said that no one wants Elgin in the locker room and Elgin responded that he and Nigel are former ROH Heavyweight Champions and Ciampa is not. Elgin asked Nigel to make the main event a triple threat match with Ciampa added...Nigel made it so.
