This will be a true test for either Aries or McGuinness. Kevin Steen will be waiting to take on whoever wins this Four Way Elimination Match the next night, April 12th, in Edison, NJ. If someone who is in an already advertised match in Edison wins the title in Boston, then Steen will be added to their match and it will become a World Title Elimination Match.

If Aries is World Champion, then the match will be a Three Way Elimination World Title Match in Edison with Aries vs. Ibushi vs. Steen. The ROH World Champion will make a defense on 4/19 in Chicago, but ROH officials won't sign that match until the dust clears from Boston and Edison.
