Pure Rules Match: Flip Gordon vs. Josh Woods
(15-minute time limit)

This was the first Pure Rules Match for Gordon, who will face ROH Pure Champion Gresham for the title at Final Battle. Woods caught Gordon in an ankle lock, and Gordon used the first of his three allotted rope breaks just 30 seconds into the match. Gordon dropkicked Woods out of the ring and followed with a dive through the ropes.

After the action returned to inside the ring, Woods powered Gordon into the ropes. Gordon grabbed hold of the top rope and landed a series of elbows to the back of Woods’ neck. The referee ruled it as a rope break for Gordon, his second. Woods hit an overhead belly to belly suplex and a running knee in the corner for a near fall. Woods hit a superplex and powerbomb for a near fall. Gordon connected on a moonsault for a near fall, and then hit a curb stomp for the win at 9:34.

It was an impressive victory for Gordon, as Woods was coming off a big win over Lethal.
