Ring of Honor's annual Final Battle pay-per-view served as the promotion's year-end marquee event, building on established rivalries including Jay Lethal vs. AJ Styles for the ROH World Championship and a grudge match between Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly that had developed over the course of 2015.
Final Battle 2015 took place over two nights at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. The first night, broadcast live as a PPV, featured nine matches. Jay Lethal retained the ROH World Championship by defeating AJ Styles, Adam Cole defeated Kyle O'Reilly, and War Machine captured the ROH World Tag Team Championships from The Kingdom.
