Episode 45 of ROH TV on Honor Club featured Kyle Fletcher’s first defense of the ROH World Television Championship. The Aussie has big shoes to fill with Samoa Joe as the last champion holding the title for 574 days. The quest to be the greatest started with an open challenge.
Willie Mack answered the call to break a foot off in Fletcher’s ass. Hot Chocolate started strong with a Macarena moonsault. Fletcher rallied with a brainbuster. Mack was back on the attack for a buckle bomb. When he applied a cloverleaf submission, Fletcher reached the ropes for the break. The champ turned the tide with an avalanche Michinoku driver. When Fletcher had trouble on a hammerlock lift, he adjusted for a straight piledriver to win.
Fletcher’s first TV title defense is in the books. His reign currently stands at 20 days and counting.
