Cody Rhodes defeated Christopher Daniels at Ring of Honour’s Best In The World Pay-per-view to become the new Ring Of Honour World Champion. Cody hit the Cross Rhodes on Daniels to get the win and the title.
This is Rhodes’s first big title win since he entered the independent wrestling scene after leaving the WWE. The American Nightmare has had a successful career after leaving the WWE, winning a number of championships on multiple promotions since his departure.
Rhodes is set to meet the IWGP Champion Kazuchika Okada at the upcoming G1 Classic USA.
As we reported earlier, Cody Rhodes was successful in procuring the ROH Championship by defeating Christopher Daniels at Ring of Honour’s Best in The World Pay-per-view.
Here’s what Cody had to say after his surprising victory last night:
Here are some reactions from Cody’s friends, family and other wrestling and non-wrestling personalities on his huge victory:
Ross opens today’s show by sending his best wishes to his friend Harley Race. Race suffered a fall in his home which resulted in multiple broken bones in both of his legs. Ross wishes Race a speedy recovery.
Ross really enjoyed the pull apart between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. He points out that to his knowledge, Samoa Joe is the only Superstar to ever block Lesnar’s double leg takedown. He suspects that this will become a focal point of their match at Great Ball of Fire later this month.
He says that he has no problem admitting that he has been politicking to call this match, because it’s going to be a great bout in his opinion. He adds that if your profession is announcing professional wrestling matches, this is the type of match that you absolutely long for.
Ross welcomes Adam Cole to the show.
Ross mentions that Cole’s recent match against Christopher Daniels was a great piece of work. They took him on an emotional journey, and that’s the sign of a great match. Cole says that particular match holds a special place in his heart because he looked up to and respected Daniels for an awfully long time, so it was his pleasure to be able to tell that kind of story with Daniels.
