Jay Lethal & Hiroshi Tanahshi vs. The Briscoes – ROH World Tag Team Titles

Jay Lethal is, by far, one of the most underrated wrestlers in the world today. In this match, he teamed with one of the biggest names and greatest wrestlers of all time – Hiroshi Tanahashi. The Briscoes are one of the most talented tag teams in the world. The match opened with Lethal and Jay Briscoe, who have had a storied rivalry. However, it isn’t long before Tanahashi and Mark are in the ring.

Mark Briscoe pulled Tanahashi’s hair, which should really be a crime. Tanahashi hit a big dragon screw leg whip and tagged in Lethal. Both men went to work with a series of quick tags, keeping Mark isolated from Jay. However, the experience of the Briscoes meant that they couldn’t be held back for too long. Mark and Jay are simply too good, and after a few minutes they managed to start getting the heat on Lethal.

Tanahashi would have none of that though and took it to Jay Briscoe after a little while. Lethal was tagged back in which may have been a mistake after the beating Lethal took. However, Lethal stayed close to his corner and exchanged a quick tag with Tanahashi. The Briscoes held the advantage for a little while over Tanahashi, but Tana was able to hit a sling blade on Mark. Lethal and Jay started brawling, renewing their rivalry. Tanahashi then sent Mark flying to the outside and went for a High Fly Flow on Jay who was locked in Lethal’s Figure Four, but Mark saved him.

Lethal hit a Lethal Injection on Jay Briscoe, but Briscoe barely kicked out. Tanahashi and Lethal went for the finish, but the Briscoes would have none of that. They dumped Tanahashi to the outside and hit a doomsday device on Lethal for the pinfall. Solid tag match right here.

Result: The Briscoes

Rating: 3.25 stars out of 5
