Two more matches have been added to the card for ROH’s Best in the World pay-per-view.
ROH has announced that Six-Man Tag Team Champions Villain Enterprises (Marty Scurll, PCO & Brody King) will defend their titles against Mark Haskins, Tracy Williams & PJ Black at Best in the World. Women of Honor World Champion Kelly Klein will be in a tag match at the PPV, teaming with Jenny Rose against The Allure (Angelina Love & Mandy Leon).
Villain Enterprises have been ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions since winning the titles from The Kingdom in March. Black has recently been aligned with Haskins & Williams, with them defeating Shinobi Shadow Squad (Cheeseburger, Ryan Nova & Eli Isom) on this week’s episode of ROH television.
The Allure (Love, Leon & Velvet Sky) debuted by attacking Klein after she won the Women of Honor title from Mayu Iwatani at G1 Supercard in April. Sky will be in Love & Leon’s corner at Best in the World.
Love & Leon attacked Klein & Rose before a tag match could get started on this week’s ROH TV.
The UMBC Event Center in Baltimore, Maryland is hosting Best in the World on Friday, June 28. Here’s the updated card for the PPV:

From the Odeum Theater in Chicago, Illinois, Ring of Honor presented episode #349 of their television series, featuring the first-ever Women of Honor Championship defense and a Six-Man tag title main event.
– Ian Riccaboni and Colt Cabana were on commentary this evening.
Cheeseburger & Jushin Thunder Liger defeated The Dawgs (Rhett Titus & Will Ferrara)
The crowd threw streamers for Liger and Cheeseburger. Cheeseburger started with a few roll-ups, but Titus tossed him. Cheeseburger tagged Liger and they hit stereo cannon ball dives off the apron.
Back from the break, Liger was surfing on Ferrara’s spine. Titus made a blind tag, aka a slap to the back of Ferrara’s head, which caused a bit of dissension, and Titus launched Ferrara into Cheeseburger. Ferrara and Titus then hit doggy splashes off the bottom rope.
Cheeseburger managed to land a reverse tornado DDT and Liger got the hot tag. Liger hit a Liger Bomb on Ferrara, then double Shotei palm strikes on both foes led to a Liger brainbuster on Titus for the win.
– ROH World Champion Dalton Castle challenged both Marty Scurll and Cody Rhodes for Best in the World, claiming that each man has a deserving case for a title shot.
Women of Honor Champion Sumie Sakai defeated Jenny Rose to retain her title
This was the first-ever WOH title defense in history. Early on, Sakai landed a crossbody block off the top turnbuckle to the floor. However, a side slam and a swinging fisherman’s suplex gave Rose control. Rose connected with a shoulder tackle on Sakai, who was on the apron, and Sakai went tumbling to the floor.
Rose hit a drop toe hold onto a chair outside the ring, but she got lazy as she rolled Sakai back in. Sakai landed a hurricanrana off the top and followed it up with the Smash Mouth for the win.
SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, & Scorpio Sky) defeated ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia & TK O’Ryan) by DQ
Daniels popped a balloon over Marseglia’s head and Cabana commented that it may be the only pop Daniels receives tonight. Later, Marseglia popped a balloon in Sky’s ear. The Kingdom beat down Sky, using a triple hot shot on the top rope. Sky almost made the tag, but The Kingdom pulled his partners off the apron.
Eventually, Sky tagged Kazarian, who brought Taven in the hard way into a cutter, then used a Northern Lights suplex and a bridge for a double pin, but The Kingdom kicked out. SCU used a double hip toss into a dual powerbomb and cutter for a near fall. Kazarian hit an outside-in DDT on Marseglia.
Then came the dives. Taven landed a big dive on Daniels, Kazarian hit a leaping rana to the floor, Marseglia used a springboard plancha, and O’Ryan looked to hit a moonsault but was cut off by a knee from Sky, who then used a running flip dive on everyone.
Back in the ring, Daniels grabbed some knucks, but the referee stopped him from connecting with the loaded punch. Taven attempted to strike Daniels with his cane, but the ref grabbed that as well, and as the ref was setting the cane outside, Kazarian came running into the ring with a chair. Taven ducked the chair shot, causing Kazarian to hit the rope with the chair. It ricocheted back into his own head, creating a self knockout.
The referee didn’t see what happened but heard the chair shot, so he called for the bell and awarded the match to SoCal Uncensored by disqualification. The Kingdom remain the ROH Six-Man champions.
Next week’s main event will be Austin Aries returning to ROH in-ring action for the first time in over three years as he challenges for Silas Young’s TV title.
After the match, Riccaboni officially announced that the three-way World Championship main event between Castle, Cody, and Scurll has been signed and is set for ROH’s next pay-per-view, Best in the World, on June 29th in Baltimore.
