*SPOILER* Big Title Change At Tonight’s Ring Of Honor Fairfax Excellence

Following last night’s Best In The World event at the UMBC Center in Baltimore, Maryland (for Andrew’s review and ratings go here), Ring Of Honor rolled into the EagleBank Arena in Virginia for Fairfax Excellence. Among all of the bouts on the card, it was announced earlier tonight that a Fatal 4-Way for the ROH World Championship had been added as Dalton Castle would defend against Cody, Jay Lethal and Matt Taven.

In the end, Lethal prevailed to win the title for his second reign, the first coming back at Best In The World 2015 when he defeated Jay Briscoe in a winner-take-all Battle Of The Belts. At the time, Lethal was in his second reign as ROH’s World Television Championship. Lethal is now the third man to be a two-time ROH World Champion, joining Austin Aries and current NXT Superstar and North American Champion Adam Cole of The Undisputed Era.

As it was previously reported, the now-former champion Dalton Castle has been battling injuries (read about that here) including a back issue and also a recent broken hand that both caused him to miss some ring time. According to PWInsider, the title change has been partly a necessity due to Castle’s injury woes.
