Opening Segment

Chris Sabin comes out with the rest of the Knights of the Rising Dawn, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian. He looks unimpressed. “Nothing has changed…” he says. Despite the best efforts of the KRD to change ROH, Sabin still feels like there are those who are not getting their due. He says the KRD will increase their efforts to make their point. Nigel McGuinness comes out and looks at the three men standing in the ring. He has noticed their efforts. Their dishonorable actions are a slap in the face to the great history of Ring of Honor. He will show Sabin he is not ready to get the opportunity, and the KRD will have to earn its future opportunities just like everyone else. He announces a triple threat match at Global Wars. Newcomer Benjamin Knight… Chris Sabin… and ROH World Champion Jay Lethal!
