Tag Team Challenge Match

Jim Cornett is out to open the second half of the show, and he grabs a mic on his way into the ring. He asks how many of the fans in attendance are seeing ROH live for the very first time, and he asks how many of the fans in attendance think that ROH is the best damn wrestling in the world. He thanks the fans in attendance, and he thanks the fans watching at home on iPPV. With that, the real reason he's out here is to get some comments from one of the hottest young talents in the business… Davey Richards! Richards makes his way to the ring, and Cornette asks him about today's dream tag team match between the American Wolves and Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team. Richards has a lot of respect for Benjamin and Haas. You don't get a name like the World's Greatest Tag Team by sitting on your couch and eating potato chips. They've plowed through the ROH tag team division, but getting in the ring with the American Wolves is a whole different story. Speaking of his brother Eddie Edwards, Richards wants to thank the crowd for the reception that they gave Edwards when he won the ROH World Title. People have been saying that Richards must be getting jealous, but Richards knows that Eddie Edwards is what this business and this promotion are all about. Cornette then asks Richards about the heartbreaking way he lost his title match at Final Battle 2010. He knows that Richards has gone undefeated since that loss, and he knows that Richards has said that his next title shot will be his next title shot. Cornette reminds Richards that ROH is a business. In the interest of selling tickets and creating interest worldwide, Cornette is offering Richards a title match against Eddie Edwards. "Make it happen! Make it happen!" chant from the crowd. Richards understands Cornette's position. The Wolves are down with fighting, and they'll even fight each other if it will make them stronger. But this is Eddie's time, and Richards refuses to be the guy to destroy his brother's dream. That brings Eddie Edwards out to the ring, so Cornette asks for his opinion on the situation. Edwards reminds us that the Wolves are brothers, and they are truly family. But Davey doesn't want to be the one to crush Eddie's dreams? That makes it sounds like it's a foregone conclusion that Davey will beat Eddie. So Eddie just wants to remind Davey that the one time they did wrestle, Eddie was the one that came up on top. Davey says that the future between Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards will write itself, but tonight is about tag team wrestling. Because you've got the American Wolves versus the ROH World Tag Team Champions. And so Edwards says that tonight, in Atlanta, THE HUNT IT ON!
