Castle allerdings schüttelt den Kopf und widerspricht Young, der ihm nochmal sagt ihneinen richtigen Mann zu nennen. Young holt Stühle unter dem Ring hervor und fordert ihn erneut auf, sonst wird er die Boys auf ihn hetzten. Als die Boys auf Castle losgehen ergreift dieser das Mirko und meint, dass Young ein Mann sei, aber ein dummer Mann als die Boys mit den Stühlen auf Young einschlagen.

[8.0] "Final Battle 2015 is on the level of the shows of the golden era of ROH. I'd recommend every match except for War Machine vs Kingdom. It starts with a funny opener, and Silas vs Castle is entertaining as the second match. After that, all is good to great. AJ Styles vs Jay Lethal and Adam Cole vs O'Reilly are two amazing matches. I also think this late 2015 ROH roster is amazing."

[8.0] "A good show marked by several good matches and a great main event. Lethal and Styles put on a fine showing that served as both a great end to ROH's year overall, and to Lethal's banner year in the main event. The other matches all delivered to some degree, with the possible exception of the Tag Title match (unfortunately cut short due to an injury to Taven). Cole-O'Reilly especially stood out, as did the Strong-Fish TV Title match (I can see where ROH purists might not like the ending, but I get what they're doing with it). And of course it was gratifying to see Dalton Castle get the moral victory of winning back the Boys, even if he lost the battle to Young while getting there (maybe they'll do a final blowoff match upcoming so he can get the pinfall win over Young to fully complete the story). Elgin-Moose was surprisingly good as well, and the three-way tag and six-man tag matches were the kind of entertaining nonstop action you'd expect, with the latter generating more intrigue in the Sabin-Shelley situation. Probably the best of ROH's PPV efforts in 2015 overall."

[7.0] "ROH is a company that has the best wrestling in the Earth. But this event was very rare, because it had good matches, but the ends were terrible. The first match was very interesting (***1/2), it had a lot of spots, but it didnŽt have psychology. The second match had psychology, but it was not the same match that they did in ASE (***1/2). Michael Elgin vs Moose was a great match (***3/4). IŽm very disappointed with the match between Adam Cole and Kyle OŽReilly, i thought that this will be a Fight Without Honor Match, but it wasnŽt;but it was a good match, adn was very psychological (***3/4). The six man tag team was awful;it had a lot of botches, and was very very boring (**). The match between Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish was interesting, but it didnŽt had storytelling (***1/4). Then, War Machine vs The Kingdom was very short, and the victory was very surprising, i didnŽt mark this match because his duration. And the main event was the match of the night, Lethal attacked the back of Styles, good spots, awesome storyline (****1/4). Final mark of the PPV ***1/2"

[3.0] "I thought this was a pretty bad show. The opening 3-way tag was pretty bad (*1/2), Castle/Young was awful (*), so was Moose/Elgin (*), Cole/O'Reilly was awful (*1/4), the 6-man tag was bad (*1/4), the tag title match was pretty much a squash (1/4*) and the main event was pretty good, and the best match of the night (**3/4). So basically there were no real standout matches in my opinion."

[7.0] "Good PPV, with at least two very beautiful matches (Cole-O'Reilly and Lethal-Styles) and other quite interesting bouts. I enjoyed particularly the three way tag team match: it was short but very funny. I think that Strong-Fish deserves a mention as well."

[8.0] "For me, Final Battle was good PPV event. On this PPV, wasn't bad match, only World Tag Team Titles was short (Matt Taven's injury) but rest match was good. The best match is Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly with great telling story [****2/4] and hard fight beetwen two ex Future Shock members."

Jobbs wrote on 20.12.2015:

[8.0] "This was amazing! I'd say this was the best ROH Show this year as Lethal/Styles was an absolute classic (****3/4), Cole/O'Reilly was GREAT (****), and the opener was really good (***1/2). Silas/Castle was meh (*3/4) while Moose/Elgin was good (**1/2) but Fish/Strong was going great until the the questionable finish. (***1/4) and I can't really rate the Tag Titles due to how it all went down but the 6 man tag was good (***1/4). Overall this was a really good show and I'd recommend checking this out."

[9.0] "Very good show. I missed the first match, but Sylas/Dalton and Elgin/Moose were on about the same level. Good openers, but not great. Moose has come a long way and Elgin is ready for WK10 (*** - ***1/4). Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly was an amazing match as they went hard at each other. Cole was targeting the leg, O'Reilly was attacking the bad arm. The finish wasn't bad, it'll lead to more matches in the future (Thank God). Watch it (****1/4). The 6-man match was a slight change of pace and went a little too long and some botched spots, but it was really fun throughout. They're building up Shelley/Sabin for a later date (***1/2). Strong and Fish was a slower, well fought affair. Screwjob finish wasn't necessary but overall it was good (***1/2 - ***3/4). I won't rate the tag match since Taven got legit injured early on and rushed the match. AJ/Lethal was really effing good. Lethal worked AJ's injured back in the beginning and that setup the rest with AJ failing to get ahead, but putting up a good fight. Slowly built to the great finale. Some "Oh shit! " moments and no House of Truth interferance. Just watch this match (****3/4). Aside from the matches, having Mr. Wrestling 3 on commentary was fun, and so was having on Prince Nana at one point."
