And New.
On the September 7 edition of AEW Dynamite, a new Ring Of Honor Pure Champion was crowned. Daniel Garcia, who's been on the hunt for the title for months, defeated Wheeler Yuta in the main event bout of Dynamite to capture his first singles championship in ROH/AEW. Garcia was able to knock off Yuta after making him submit with his signature 'Dragon Slayer' submission.

After the bout was over, Bryan Danielson marched to the ring and helped put the belt on Garcia. This prompted Chris Jericho to come out and look puzzled as Dynamite came to a close.
Yuta originally won the belt back in April, when he defeated then champion Josh Woods at ROH Supercard Of Honor. During his 159 day reign, Yuta defended the belt successfully on three separate occasions.
