The ROH World Championship was contested in a singles match between tag team partners Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.

At Manhattan Mayem IV in March, it was announced that Ring of Honor would be returning to New York in June at the Hammerstein Ballroom, which has a rich wrestling legacy.

[3] On 2 May, it was confirmed that the show would be broadcast live on internet pay-per-view (iPPV), the eighth event to be shown as part of ROH's partnership with GoFightLive.tv.

Later that evening, after losing a tag team match Edwards walked out on Richards and the following month at Revolution: USA he reiterated that he was not the little brother of the pack.

[14] Daniels read the book in preparation for his rematch with members of the group,[15] but seemingly became brainwashed by Truth Martini, a charismatic cult leader who manages the stable.

During Revolution weekend in May, Daniels defeated Cabana but lost to Generico; although he carried his Television Championship belt with him, it was not on the line as the title had been suspended.

[12] The other four matches on the card were created due to a variety of different storylines, mostly involving ROH's two main factions, The Embassy and The House of Truth.

Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino were two men formerly considered the most evil wrestlers in Ring of Honor, along with Kevin Steen.

However, they tried to convince ROH official Jim Cornette that they had changed their ways, and they were going to prove it by battling The House of Truth's Michael Elgin.
