Ring Of Honor World Champion Cody has once again got the wrestling world talking and the social media buzzing following last night’s ROH: Global Wars – Chicago 2017 iPPV.
The ROH iPPV kicked off with Cody coming out to the ring to cut a promo. After touting the success of the ROH Global Wars Tour and even calling it the most lucrative tour in ROH history, the reigning top dog in ROH turned his focus to The Big Dog in WWE.
Cody went on to blast WWE Superstar Roman Reigns by claiming that the reason he wears a vest is to hide his gut and his failed drug tests. Cody also said that envy is what Reigns is really hiding under his vest.
From there, Cody turned his attention away from Reigns and on to the second part of his memorable opening segment. He stated that ROH is not an independent company, but instead a club. He asked Cary Silkin to kiss his ROH Ring, but Silkin opted not to. He then brought in a fan into the ring. The fan was wearing a mask and a Bullet Cub Cody T-Shirt and he told the fan to kiss his ROH Ring.
Cody wanted to film the segment for “Being the Elite”, but it was at this point that The ROH World Champion was taken aback.
The fan unmasked himself while Cody was smiling into his camera and taking a selfie. The fan revealed himself to be none other than the returning Dalton Castle. This caused Cody’s smile to quickly turn into a shocked facial expression, as he was immediately suplexed to the mat before being grounded-and-pounded by Castle. Finally, Cody managed to get out of the ring and run to the back to end the segment.
Cody then had a match where he teamed up with Hangman Page and The Young Bucks to defeat the team of Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Jonathan Gresham and Jay White in an Eight-Man Tag-Team Match. After Kenny Omega successfully defended his NJPW United States Championship against Yoshi-Hashi in the main event of the night, Cody returned for the final segment and he was accompanied by Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.
The final segment of the night saw Cody, along with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks cut one final promo and have one more laugh to end the show. This time, it was the four of them looking to borrow a cell phone from a fan in the audience to take a selfie. Ultimately, the fan in the audience turned out to be Jimmy Jacobs. It was previously reported that Jacobs was released from WWE recently after taking a photo with The Bullet Club.
Jacobs shot a photo with The Bullet Club while the fans in Chicago was chanting his name. Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks then said, “sorry we got your ass fired.” After Omega asked for the profanity of the fans to stop, Matt Jackson grabbed the mic and said he agrees because he is a Christian-boy, but noted that they needed “one more F-Bomb,” leading to a loud “F*ck The Revival” chant to end the night.
Below are the pictures and the video from the last night’s ROH iPPV as well as the picture that Jimmy Jacobs took with The Bullet Club to get himself released from WWE:
