Samoa Joe has made history once again in the world of professional wrestling, as he has now become the second longest reigning ROH Television Champion in the brand’s history. With an impressive reign of 472 days and counting, Joe has surpassed Dragon Lee’s previous record of 469 days.
Joe’s reign as the King of Television began back in April of 2022 when he captured the ROH Television Title by defeating Minoru Suzuki on AEW Dynamite. Since then, he has successfully defended the championship on 13 occasions against some of the top stars in the industry.
Throughout his reign, Joe has faced formidable opponents such as Mark Briscoe, Dalton Castle, Matt Sydal, Christopher Daniels, Brian Cage, and Colt Cabana, showcasing his dominance and skill inside the squared circle.
With his impressive title defense record, it’s no surprise that a new tournament has been announced to determine Joe’s next challenger. Fans and competitors alike are eager to see who will step up to the plate and try to dethrone the reigning champion. You can read more about the tournament here.
