Cody’s stint with Ring of Honor has officially come to an end. The Elite member had his last match in the promotion at Final Battle against Jay Lethal for the ROH World Heavyweight championship.
Lethal walked out victorious and the former ROH World Heavyweight champion said goodbye to the live crowd in a dark segment that night.
The Elite member penned a final statement on social media thanking everyone in the company that gave him an opportunity:
The former WWE star made his debut in ROH at the very same pay-per-view against Jay Lethal in 2016. Then, Cody defeated Lethal by turning heel with a low blow. In addition to being a former ROH World Heavyweight champion, Cody was also the ROH Six Man Tag Team champion with The Young Bucks.
At this moment, all the fans can do is wait on the next move of The Elite members. Cody has teased a huge announcement that “would be bigger than anyone expects”. Speculation points to Cody and the rest of The Elite will announce their new promotion, All Elite Wrestling.
