Jericho debuted a new move during the Collision win over Bandido: The HI Spot. The head-scissors takedown saw Jericho yell "Hi guys!" to the crowd on his way down. The wrestling legend filed to trademark "THE HI SPOT" with the United States Patent & Trademark Office on February 25.

Chris Jericho rumored for another big rematch
Chris Jericho has retained the ROH World Championship for the third time in his second reign. He is now rumored for another rematch.

Saturday's main event also ended with a clean pin, without interference from Big Bill or Bryan Keith. Jericho is now rumored to have a rematch with Bandido at ROH Supercard of Honor.
