Chris Jericho and Claudio Castagnoli faced off at the main event of the ROH Final Battle, with a decisive victor emerging.

The feud between the Jericho Appreciation Society and the Blackpool Combat has been present for a significant while now. Chris Jericho, in particular, has had a personal rivalry with Claudio Castagnoli ever since he dethroned the latter as the ROH World Champion in September.

Last week, Jericho accepted the challenge for a rematch with a special stipulation.

The special condition for the match forced Claudio Castagnoli to join the JAS if he lost. Given the high stakes, the Swiss Superman gave it his all in his bid to defeat the Ocho.

The match started off with both sides going back and forth with punches and holds. Daddy Magic and Angelo Parker also came out to interfere with the match, but Claudio recovered from an attempted pinfall.

In the end, the BCC member reversed an attempted Codebreaker to turn it into his signature Giant Swing. As fans counted the seconds out loud, Jericho was forced to tap out.

With Claudio Castagnoli now becoming the 38th ROH World Champion, it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
