ROH Supercard of Honor XII: Results, Grades, and Analysis

Kenny Omega (Bullet Club) vs. Cody (Bullet Club) w/ Brandi Rhodes & Burnard the Business Bear

Cody has an armed escort to the ring, and Cody walked out wearing an eye patch due to the cut he suffered at Sakura Genesis. Rhodes walked out to ridiculous heat, and Kenny Omega had a massive pop. The crowd was very hot for this one, chanting vulgar things at Cody, and chanting The Elite at Omega.

It opens fast, and Kenny outpaces him quickly going for a Rise of the Terminator Dive onto Cody, but Burnard the Business Bear grabbed Kenny’s feet. Kenny hit a dropkick on Burnard and took his head off and threw it into the crowd! The guy in the front row immediately put it on. We didn’t see who Burnard was though. Kenny took it back into the ring and hit a series of chops before Cody took out Kenny with a knee.

Cody proceeded to get the heat on Omega for a little bit and went for a Shattered Dreams on Omega! Before hitting it, Cody stopped and flipped off the crowd, drawing massive boos. This is beautiful. The crowd started to chant very loudly for Omega, but Cody stopped him with a powerbomb. Kenny got locked in an Indian Deathlock, but Kenny got to the ropes. Brandi slapped Kenny, to boos from the crowd.

Cody asked Brandi to throw a foreign object into the ring, and Cody caught it. The ref took it, but as his back was turned, Cody punted Kenny right between the legs. Kenny went to the outside, and Brandi proceed to put the boots to Kenny. This is so old school. Cody is drinking in the hate and making it even hotter. This reminds me so much of Ric Flair in the 80s, it’s quite astonishing.

Cody eventually got taken out by Kenny, and Kenny was finally able to hit Rise of the Terminator. Omega brought it back into the ring and hit a Fisherman’s Neckbreaker. Kenny and Cody have a series of reversals that ends with Cody getting hit with a snap Dragon Suplex. Omega hit a second one, and the crowd chanted “one more time.” Kenny went for it, but Cody reversed into a Disaster Kick. Omega kicked out. Kenny ended up going for the One Winged Angel, but Cody slipped out and locked in a Figure Four Leglock. This only furthers my Flair comparison.

Kenny and Cody sit up and exchange strikes, and Kenny eventually managed to turn the Figure Four over. A table was set up on the outside of the ring and Cody went for both a Cross Rhodes and piledriver off the apron through the table. Kenny blocked both and hit a snap Dragon Suplex on the apron on Cody. Omega tried to keep the advantage, but Cody hit a front suplex on Kenny onto the side of a table. Holy crap.

Cody got another table out and hit a springboard missile dropkick followed by an Alabama slam. Cody hit a snap dragon suplex himself and hit the ropes. Kenny hit a V-Trigger. Omega went for another V-Trigger, but Cody moved out of the way, and Omega hit Brandi Rhodes and sent her flying through the table! Kenny went to check on Brandi, who Cody ignored again, like he did at Manhattan Mayhem. Cody grabbed Kenny and hit the Cross Rhodes and Kenny kicked out! Flip Gordon came out and helped Brandi to the back.

Cody hit a huge superplex on Omega, hit Kenny with his weight belt a few times, and went for a moonsault. Kenny moved, and Kenny hit a V-Trigger. Cody asked for Omega to hit him again. Omega did. Kenny went for a third one, but Cody pulled the ref in the way. Kenny stopped him. Cody spit at Kenny and raked his eyes. Kenny ignored it, hit a 3rd and 4th V-Trigger, but Cody kicked out. Kenny hit another, and went for a One Winged Angel. Cody reversed and hit a Vertebreaker on Omega! Kenny barely kicked out. Cody went for another Cross Rhodes, but Kenny reversed and both men crashed into the referee! Cody and Kenny then both hit cross bodies on each other.

The Young Bucks came out, and both men are left with a decision about who’s side they’re on. Both men look at Kenny, and the crowd screams “No!” The Bucks went to superkick Cody, but Cody ducked and they superkicked Kenny Omega by accident! Cody got up and hit a Cross Rhodes on Omega. Cody Rhodes wins!

Result: Cody

Rating: 4.75 stars out of 5

Excellent match from both men. What does this mean for Bullet Club? The Bucks clearly went for Cody, but Kenny ended up getting hit and subsequently beat. This story is far from over. Cody barely won. Kenny shoved the Bucks away after the match and walked out sad. This is so far from over.
