Jay Lethal had his first title defense since defeating Jay Briscoe for the ROH World Title, but on this week he defended his other title against the other Briscoe. Mark challenged Jay Lethal for his ROH TV Title.

The one-on-one bout slowly escalated into a very crowded affair as members of the House of Truth kept trying to interfere and Briscoe's allies kept warding them off. 

Notable spots included Mark using a Cactus Jack-style elbow at one point onto Lethal. Lethal took out ODB with a dive to the outside on another occasion. Donovan Dijak was able to low-blow Briscoe, allowing Lethal to use his Lethal Injection for the win.

After the match, some banter between the two sides set up a big 8-person tag match for ROH's big 200th episode next week. Both Briscoes join ODB and Roderick Strong to take on Jay Lethal, Truth Martini, Jay Diesel and Donovan Dijak. I'm looking forward to that.
