Chris Jericho had a reign as ROH World Champion in 2022, and he believes that it helped ROH get a spotlight. Jericho reigns as World Champion from September until December of 2022, and he touched on the reign during an interview with The Dallas Morning News. You can see highlights below:
On his ROH World Title reign: “I think it was pretty cool time for Ring of Honor. It was a good idea for Tony to have me as the champion because I think he put a lot of eyeballs on the company, and kind of really put that title under the spotlight with defending it as much as I did.”
On losing the title to Claudio Castagnoli at Final Battle: “That’s when we did the finish where I tapped out to the giant swing, which I thought was so creative. I don’t know if anyone has done it since, but I just thought it was the best way to lose the title. I think the whole Chris Jericho as Ring of Honor champion experiment was a huge success culminating in this great match at Final Battle.”
