In a shocking victory, veteran wrestler PCO won the Ring of Honor World Championship by defeating Rush. The two put each other through hell as Rush even broke a door over PCO’s head, but there was no way of putting the “Inhuman” down after some help from Destro. The end came after PCO hit a moonsault onto Rush through a table.
