During a tag team match between The Kingdom and Villain Enterprises PCO and Brody King, PCO pinned current ROH World Champion Matt Taven. The following week on the Ring of Honor television taping, it was announced that Matt Taven would defend his title against PCO, which was made official.

At G1 Supercard, the Guerillas of Destiny won a winner takes all match for both the ROH Tag Team Championship and the IWGP Tag Team Championship on the line. At Masters of the Craft, Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham won a 30-minute Iron Man Match against Lifeblood Mark Haskins and Tracy Williams 2–1 to earn an opportunity against the Guerillas of Destiny. A week later during the ROH television tapings, the match was made official.
