Samoa Joe successfully defeated Keith Lee to retain the ROH
TV title yesterday but then after the match, Joe
relinquished the title saying he has bigger things to fry
and would be going for the AEW World title.
The surprise twist came after Keith Lee passed out from the
Coquina Clutch, with the referee ending the match and
awarding the win to the champion.
The dumping of the title like that does make the ROH TV
title not look important and AEW missed the opportunity to
crown a new champion the proper way in the process.
Joe has held the ROH TV title for a whopping 575 days,
shooting him up in #1 place on the longest-reigning chart.
He won the title on April 12, 2022 against Minoru Suzuki on
Dynamite.
