Ring Of Honor Final Battle Results: Tracy Williams & Rhett Titus vs. Wheeler Yuta & Fred Yehi [Pure Rules Tag Team Match]

While Ring Of Honor has a storied history of Pure Rules matches, they have always been handled in singles. That changes tonight, as Tracy Williams & Rhett Titus of The Foundation take on Wheeler Yuta & Fred Yehi. These are four of the best pure wrestlers in the company, and they will make history. Three of these men are making their Final Battle debut, but Rhett Titus knows all about this stage, this being his tenth Final Battle.

The rules are essentially the same as a regular pure rules match, but with only three rope breaks per team and coming into the ring to break a pin uses a rope break. No rope breaks when you break up a pin? It’s a DQ. You need to use the tag rope for tags, no blind tags, and you need to be out of the ring after 5 seconds. Both teams get a single closed fist. This is how Tag Team wrestling should be done.

Yehi & Yuta Run Out The Rope Breaks

After some handshakes, this one started with Yehi & Williams grappling. Yehi managed to get Williams down briefly, before Williams got up and made a tag to Titus. He’d get caught in the Koji Clutch by Yehi, and Titus had to use a rope break for The Foundation. Yuta was tagged in, and schooled the veteran with some fast grappling and a single leg dropkick. He’d manage to tag in Williams, and they used every of those five allowed seconds to beat Yuta down. A cloverleaf would be applied by Williams, and Yuta used his team’s first rope break.

Titus was tagged in and hit a clubbing blow to the spine of Yuta, who’d slide across the ring to tag in Yehi as Williams came back in. The SavageWeight would force Williams to the ropes before going for a German Supelx, and that was another rope break for The Foundation. Titus was tagged in, hit with a Flatliner & stuck in the Koji Clutch. Williams had to save Titus, and there goes the final rope break.

Tracy Williams & Rhett Titus Are The Foundation

Titus picked the pace up with a big belly to belly suplex, but Yuta broke the pin up, putting them down to one rope break. Yuta tagged in, but was dropkicked off the top rope by Titus, Yuta crashing to the outside. Yehi had to help Yuta back up to the ring and got the tag. He’d meet Williams in the middle of the ring for some strikes, as the former CatchPoint members went blow for blow. Williams went for the crossface and a piledriver, but was rammed into the corner by Yehi.

The Flatliner & Koji Clutch combo trapped Williams, but Titus couldn’t break this up or it was a DQ, and the ropes wouldn’t save Williams either. On the outside, Titus was trapped in a Dragon Sleeper by Yuta, and used Yuta to break the hold after he countered! He didn’t touch either man, so it counted. Yehi hit a brainbuster, but Williams kicked out. Yuta & Titus became legal, and Titus applied a unique backbreaker but spun into a backdrop, getting a near fall.

Yuta got back into this with a German Suplex, but Titus kicked out. Yehi tagged in and got a kick to the head, but muffed the tag to Yuta before the splash, giving Titus more time to recover and kick out. Titus got Williams in, and threw Yuta into a lariat for a near fall. Williams got a Death Valley Driver, but Yuta wasn’t going down. Williams hit the piledriver, but Yehi used the last break to save it.

But now, Williams applied the crossface and Yuta had no way to save himself. He made the ropes but there was no breaks. Williams used the ropes for extra leverage, and really cranked back. Yuta had no choice to tap out, and The Foundation won.
