Chris Jericho Defeats Matt Cardona at ROH Final Battle

At ROH Final Battle 2024 held at the Hammerstein Ballroom, Chris Jericho successfully defended his ROH World Championship against Matt Cardona, aided by a distraction from Bryan Keith that allowed Jericho to secure the victory. In other notable matches, Komander won the ROH TV Championship after defeating Brian Cage and several others, while Red Velvet and Lee Moriarty retained their respective titles. The event also featured a chaotic Texas Bullrope match, where The Sons of Texas successfully defended their ROH World Tag Team titles. Post-match, Jericho and his faction attacked Cardona but were interrupted by the returning Bandido. Jericho, who has faced criticism and 'please retire' chants from fans, remains undeterred and embraces a new persona amid his lengthy career. He has dubbed himself the 'King of New York' in light of his championship reigns and the significance of the venue.
