-Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries for the ROH Title.
 
-Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Rocky Romero & Roderick Strong in a best of three falls ROH Tag Title match.
 
-Bryan Danielson vs. Takeshi Morishima in a “relexed rules” match.
 
-Claudio Castagnoli vs. Chris Hero in a grudge match.
 
-Erick Stevens vs. Davey Richards in a grude match.
 
-Sara Del Rey vs. Lacey vs. Daizee Haze in a three-way match
 
-Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black vs. Kevin Steen & El Generico vs. Jack Evans & Ruckus vs. Adam Pearce & BJ Whitmer in a tag team scramble match.
 
-Delirious vs. Brent Albright in a grudge match.
 
-ROH's booker & PPV producer Gabe Sapolsky calls this the "best ROH PPV yet" and states that the Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries World Title Match is "the best match we've ever put on pay-per-view."

-You can watch a free 10-minute preview and the first teaser at ROHVideos.com or on Youtube at Youtube.com.

Powell’s POV: The top three matches alone should be worth the $10 to $15 pay-per-view cost (check your local listings for pricing). This is a strong pay-per-view lineup and I encourage fans who have never checked out ROH to give this pay-per-view a chance. It will air at nine p.m. (CST) on InDemand on Friday, meaning you can watch it immediately following Smackdown. It will also be replayed throughout the month of March.
