It all starts with a very frustrated Austin Aries, who has been despondent since losing the "Rising Above" World Title Match. Jimmy Jacobs and his girlfriend Lacey have been recruiting members for The Age Of The Fall. Of course, Jacobs and Lacey have had a relationship that is three years in the making. The Age Of The Fall sense that Aries will follow their revolution. They begin the recruitment with two mysterious messages that were released independently of ROH at:
