Prior to Claudio Castagnoli’s match with Chris Jericho for the latter’s Ring of Honor World Championship at Saturday afternoon’s Final Battle 2022 pay-per-view event, Castagnoli sat down with Joey Hayden of the Dallas Morning News to discuss his desire to see the ROH World Title being used to “showcase” younger talent going forward. He said,

“I would be a fool to say that Chris Jericho didn’t defend the title a lot, and in some tremendous matches and brought a lot of eyes to the Ring of Honor world championship just by defending against all comers in AEW. So, I would love to win the title back – A. So I don’t have to join the Jericho Appreciation Society, and B. So I can bring honor back to the ROH championship. And then I would like to defend it in a similar way that he did, but not against former champions. I feel like I would like to defend it against young talent that has been grinding their teeth, for example, on AEW Dark, and hasn’t had that chance yet to showcase that talent on television. Give them a shot at the Ring of Honor title because I feel like that’s what it’s always been and meant was to showcase new talent and give talent the chance [who may not have] another outlet. That’s what Ring of Honor always was. It was kind of the proving ground for people to prove how good they really were before mainstream saw it.”
