Dragon Lee is the new ROH Television Title Champion, defeating Shane Taylor at ROH Final Battle.
Lee survived a Greetings from 216 from the former champion before hitting a Rodilla Dragon with a chain around his knee, a Desnucadora, and another Rodilla Dragon with an exposed knee to put Taylor away. This marks Lee's first reign as the ROH TV Champion. Taylor, who won the title from Jeff Cobb at ROH/NJPW War Of The Worlds, Day 2 on May 9, held the title for over 200 days.
Dragon Lee has now held gold in NJPW (IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship), CMLL (World Welterweight Championship and World Lightweight Championship), and now ROH.

In September, ROH and Shane Taylor agreed to terms on a contract buyout for a storyline, but Taylor remained in the promotion as he was TV Champion. His contract reportedly expires at the end of the year and Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp notes Taylor told him he has not re-signed.
