The Wizard has had a slew of high-stakes matches recently, with his last one ending in a loss against Bryan Danielson and effectively killing his plans to become the AEW World Champion. However, he quickly switched targets to the ROH World Title, challenging Claudio Castagnoli to a face-off.
Despite Claudio gaining the upper hand initially, the JAS leader was able to pick up the win after a low blow. This marked the eighth world title he has acquired to date, earning him the nickname "JerichOcho" from fans on social media.

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
