Silas Young already has a championship defense planned.
At Supercard of Honor XII, Silas Young defeated Kenny King in a Last Man Standing match but before the match started Austin Aries came out to do commentary and announced he would be challenging the winner of the match.
The following is an excerpt from the Fightful Wrestling live coverage of the Ring of Honor Television Championship match provided by John Moorehouse.
King heading to the top rope, but the fans are booing as Beer City Bruiser comes down to the ring. Bruiser and King throw hands, and King drops the Bruiser with a trash can shot to the head. King with the trash can across the back twice but this distracts him to get bushwhacked from behind by Young. Colt hinting Aries should run down and help but Aries points out it's all legal and he's "not dressed for it." Young brings out another ladder, props it up on the outside, and gets release belly to belly suplexed through it immediately. King sets Young on the table, heads to the top in the nearest corner and hits a BEAUTIFUL shooting star press through the table on the outside! Sinclair with a 10 count. King starts to stand but someone is holding his legs under the apron. Young stands, and King pulls his legs out to reveal they were tied under the ring by Beer City Bruiser. Crowd did not like that finish at all.
WIN: Silas Young to become the new ROH TV Champion
Young and Bruiser keep beating down King after the match. Aries says "I wasn't going to interfere in the match, but..." immediately throws off his jacket and heads to the ring, where he wipes out both Young and Bruiser with a suicide dive. Young and Bruiser retreat.
Aries had previously showed up to Ring of Honor 16th Anniversary to make his goal of winning the Ring of Honor Television Championship clear.
