DREAM TAG TEAM MATCH
BULLET CLUB (ADAM COLE & CODY) vs. ROH WORLD CHAMPION KYLE O’REILLY & JAY LETHAL
Kyle O’Reilly defeated Adam Cole to capture the ROH World Championship in an instant classic at Final Battle. For years, O’Reilly and Cole’s careers have been seemingly tied together by destiny as partners and adversaries. With the world still buzzing about their No Disqualification war, the former champion Cole has turned an eye to 2017. Their no rules bout filled with blood, torn muscles, lost teeth, and thumbtacks was supposed to be the final chapter between these two men.
But for Cole, the war has just begun. And Cole is starting 2017 in Atlanta by bringing in some help.
Cody received a hero’s welcome at Final Battle ahead of his dream match against former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal. By the end of the night, the fans at the Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom were chasing Cody and Brandi out of the Big Apple with pitchforks. Cody used a low blow to change the tide of his match with Lethal and then told the ROH fans what he really thought about them and the company.
So it should shock no one based on that behavior that on December 10, 2016 at New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Tag Wars, “The American Nightmare” was named the newest member of Bullet Club.
With Cody now a member of Bullet Club and his disdain for ROH voiced loud and clear, he and former ROH World Champion Adam Cole head to Cody’s home in Atlanta to take on ROH World Champion O’Reilly and the Greatest First Generation Wrestler, former ROH World Champion himself, Jay Lethal. These dream teams unite to fight at ROH’s international television taping at Atlanta’s historic Center Stage!
But questions are abound about whether the teams can coexist. While the two Bullet Club members are teaming for the first time and will need team to find chemistry, Lethal and O’Reilly had many classic bouts while Lethal was champion and it is unknown if those competitive feelings have subsided. And while Bullet Club is united by their disdain of ROH, will Cody and Cole be able to put their egos aside to coexist?
Many have said that Bullet Club pressured ROH to make changes following the results of Final Battle and the temporary Executive Committee has signed this as the very first bout under the new regime. Have they kowtowed to Bullet Club demands or are they confident that O’Reilly and Lethal can keep Bullet Club at bay?
Four of ROH’s biggest stars, including three former or current ROH World Champions, collide in Atlanta as two feuds reach a boiling point! Who will emerge victorious? Join us to find out!
