After winning the title from Claudio Castagnoli, the Mad King has had a dominant time as a fighting champion. He ended up going beyond all that, even winning the Continental Classic to add a third title to his arsenal.
Now Eddie Kingston is down to just one title. He first lost the Continental Championship after getting pinned by Kazuchika Okada. Tonight, he dropped his second title, which was arguably the most prestigious of the three, after a grueling match against the Sussex Chicken.

Briscoe pulled out all the stops to score the win, even putting his body on the line and leaving himself all bloodied up. It was a hard-fought battle, as the two men went more than 40 minutes in the ring, with several near-falls and hardcore spots.

Mark now joins his brother, the late Jay Briscoe, as a holder of the ROH World Championship, adding this to the list of several major titles he has won across his decades-long career.
Eddie Kingston, on the other hand, is still in possession of the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship.

Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.
If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
