Kingston won the bout via pinfall after hitting Castagnoli with a spinning back fist, followed by a power bomb.

The win is historic for 'The Mad King', as it is his first time holding a championship in Ring Of Honor.

Kingston and Claudio's history dates back to their days in CZW and CHIKARA, but the two have been on opposing sides of matches in AEW and Ring Of Honor since Castagnoli became a roster member of both promotions in June 2022. Castagnoli and Kingston most recently faced off in singles action at ROH Supercard Of Honor in March.
