Samoa Joe cemented himself as the greatest wrestler in Ring of Honor history with his run holding the ROH World Television Championship. Joe’s résumé in ROH includes triple crown winner and the longest reigns in company history for the world title and the TV title. Joe closed that chapter by vacating the ROH World Television Championship in an effort to focus solely on acquiring the AEW World Championship. ROH is moving onward with big shoes to fill without the one true king of television.
