ROH TV Taping Spoilers

The first Ring of Honor event of 2015 has come and gone. It was a TV taping in Nashville, TN, and we have the spoilers for you.
This event finally saw the ROH debut of Alberto El Patron, as he had a little in-ring promo time, before he went one-on-one with Christopher Daniels.
Along with that Adam Cole was set to address the crowd, and that took an interesting turn. Of course it did, we’re talking about Cole.
Let’s get to the spoilers, which come courtesy of PWPonderings.com:

Those are some interesting results.
A big story coming out of Final Battle was Tommaso Ciampa and his potential firing. He wasn’t fired, but he was close, and he’s already been involved in another match that involved a referee getting hurt, so his future is up in the air again.
There’s also the budding feud between Alberto and Jay Lethal. It would not be shocking to see Alberto challenge Lethal for the ROH World TV Championship at the 13th Anniversary Show on March 1st, the company’s next PPV.
There’s Cole not announcing his injury, instead announcing nothing, and just flipping off the camera and being Adam Cole.
Plus, the arrival of ODB on the side of The Briscoes against The Kingdom, which could mean we have an intergender tag team match involving Maria Kanellis in our future.
