ROH World Champions - The Ocho Chris Jericho and Claudio Castagnoli

On tonight's Ring of Honor: Final Battle pay-per-view, world champion Chris Jericho defended his title against Claudio Castagnoli in the main event. The two former WWE Superstars put on a spectacular fight, and in the end, the Swiss Superman managed to win the ROH World title for a second time.

The rivalry between The Jericho Appreciation Society and the Blackpool Combat Club has been going on for several months, and it seemingly came to an end at Final Battle.

After a back-and-forth for nearly 20 minutes, Chris Jericho looked to steal a victory after he attacked Castagnoli with a baseball bat. But somehow, the challenger came back into the contest and swung The Ocho continuously, forcing him to tap out.

This was an unexpected finish to the match, and the wrestling world was not happy with the conclusion. Some were convinced that The Ocho did not give up, and it was a bad call by the official:

A few fans felt that Claudio was being booked badly by Tony Khan:

People were glad to see the Blackpool Combat Club member dethrone Chris Jericho and win the title for the second time in his career:

Apart from Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta of the BCC also became a two-time champion tonight by defeating Daniel Garcia to become the ROH Pure Champion.
