During Saturday night’s ROH Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view event, Claudio Castagnoli defeated Jonathan Gresham in the opening bout to capture the ROH World Championship.
In a great match that lasted around fifteen minutes, Castagnoli was able to hit Gresham with the Ricola Bomb to pick up the 1-2-3.
Gresham was accompanied to the ring by Prince Nana, who has purchased Tully Blanchard Enterprises and turned it into The Embassy.
Gresham’s first reign as ROH World Champion comes to an end at 218 days.
