I’ll say this: my cynicism for AEW and Tony Khan aside, with ROH not having a TV show, Jericho is a pretty perfect choice as champion. He never set foot there, which makes it even better.
He can cut promos about how he saved ROH was smoky bingo halls. He’s also a good choice to be a #2 champion. He can act like his belt is a real World Title while also slinking in the background afraid to step up to Moxley and put it all on the line.
If they wanted to go balls-deep for a story for Final Battle, Jericho can threaten to retire the title and ROH if he wins at that show. Puts more emphasis on a face victory. If that’s the route they’re going.
I don’t like ROH’s chances of getting a reputable television spot (Rampage is in a death slot, that’s how much sway Tony Khan has), but if you’re going to have the two World Titles, Jericho is your best bet for ROH Champ.
