Jay Lethal, quite deservedly, came in to 2016 holding the ROH World Championship and retained it for a record-breaking reign of 427 days, before losing it to Bullet Club member Adam Cole. His rivalry with the Bullet Club has been a topic of much conversation through the year. He has even been tied to the ropes and shaved bald at one point.
