ROH - Davey Richards Vs Rodrick Strong and the undefeated Tommaso Ciampa

Week 3 of ROH on Fox started with Jim Cornette was in the ring again and this time with the Briscoe brothers and it was a segment to put into place the No.1 contenders for the tag belts as The Briscoes Vs The All Night Express for next week.

Then they did a ROH focus bit of the Alpha Male Tommaso Ciampa who is the only undefeated wrestler in ROH and has been wrestling in ROH for a year and Cornette said that Tommaso Ciampa was basically a loose canyon. He is managed/brainwashed by Prince Nana who has lots of money and his father is a King in Africa and that he sees dollar signs in Clampa as he sees him winning the world tittle.

That lead into a match between Andy Ridge and the Alpha Man and Steve Corino was at the broadcasting booth as had an interest in Andy Ridge but in the end the Alpha Male won with a sitting power bomb and he got his knees up and Ridges spine landed on them and he got the win.

Then they did an inside look at tonight's main event and it was used to put across that Roderick Strong was ego maniac and wanted the tittle back because it brought him money and it brought him more girls than when he was a football player. While Davey Richards talked about how his grandparents died when he was staying in a Japan Dojo for four month and this shows that he was dedicated to the business.

During their match for the world tittle Davey Richards was distracted by Strong's manager/inspirational motivator Truth Martini when he on the top rope and Strong kicked him in the head from the ring apron and he was out the rest of the match and Strong through everything at him but Davey every once in a while got a move in to stop Strong's momentum. Kevin Kelly used this match to use some of his Style's impression and go all crazy for moves like Davey Richards diving through the ropes to take out Strong and Strong dropped him on the ring apron and Kelly pointed out that it was like being dropped right on steel. The fans had a number of this is awesome chants throughout the main event and it ended with Davey Richards getting the ankle lock on Strong four times and the third was a visual tap and Truth Martini distracted the ref and Davey went after him and ended up in the ring and Davey Irish whip over the turn buckle that lead to the fourth ankle lock where Strong tapped and Davey won.

Kelly while leaving the network broadcast said that there would be two main events next week and one is going to be the tag match and the other would be either Eddie Edwards Vs Davey Richards for the world tittle or Jay Lethal Vs El Generico for the TV tittle. This week show was good again and next weeks show is already setup so ROH is really good at long term booking especially when U look at both TNA and WWE and the most amazing part is that the other companies have their talent under longer contracts.
