He won the vacant title at <strong><em>Final Battle<\/em><\/strong> earlier this month, besting former 2x ROH world titleholder <strong>Jay Lethal<\/strong>. Prior to this, Gresham was one of the focal points of ROH&#8217;s Pure Division, holding the ROH Pure Championship for 317 days. During this time, his matches against the likes of Lethal and <strong>Mike Bennett<\/strong> were among the most well-received in the company. It was here where he built a bigger name for himself, eventually leading him to world championship status.<\/p>\n<p>With the recent closure of ROH, Gresham is unable to defend the company&#8217;s world title on ROH programming. However, &#8220;The Foundation&#8221; has taken the title with him across the independent scene, specifically <strong>Game Changer Wrestling<\/strong>. At <strong><em>GCW Blood on the Hills<\/em><\/strong> earlier this month, Gresham successfully defended the ROH World Championship against <strong>AJ Gray<\/strong>. It&#8217;s also worth noting that, on January 23, Gresham has another title defense at <strong><em>The Wrld on GCW<\/em><\/strong>. At the historic Hammerstein Ballroom, he will put the title on the line against <strong>Blake Christian<\/strong>. Consider his upcoming involvement in the <em>PWG BOLA 2022<\/em> and it&#8217;s fair to say that Jonathan Gresham has a busy year to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
