In ROH’s annual Tag Wars event, Abyss teamed with Alex Shelley and Jimmy Rave, once again as The Embassy.
In a first round match up they went against Jay Fury, Sal Rinauro & Tony Mamaluke. Rave started the match, but soon threw a tantrum and tagged out to Shelley. Daizee Haze would dive onto Rinauro, helping her faction gain control and then Abyss entered the ring.
Embassy would keep teaming up on Sal, until Jay Fury got tagged in, he cleared Shelley and Rave out of the ring, and then dived onto them both. Alex Shelley would recover and get the pin after a Sliced Bread No.2 on Fury, taking them to the final round.
In their next match, they faced off against Matt Sydal, Jack Evans and Jimmy Yang, Sydal hit Abyss while he was on the apron, cause him to pull Sydal out and throw him into a guard rail, follow up by a big splash in the ring. The punishment on Sudal would continue until he was able to tag out to Yang – but he too would feel the wrath of the “Royal Beast”.
Yang managed to counter Rave and get the tag out to Evans, who unloaded on Shelley with kicks and a standing corkscrew splash. Abyss would take all three men on by himself and threw Sydal outside onto Yang.
Sydal tagged himself into the match, then pushing and slapping Abyss. But they managed to group together and win the match.
Abyss had his hair tied up in a backstage promo, which I think he had never done before.
