Jay Lethal is ready to step back into the Ring of Honor spotlight, and it looks like he’s got his eyes set on a major comeback.
On the December 5 episode of ROH on HonorClub, fans were treated to a backstage vignette featuring QT Marshall and Lethal, setting the stage for what could be a monumental return.
In the segment, QT Marshall couldn’t resist boasting about his match with Big Boom! AJ at AEW Full Gear. While Marshall offered Lethal a match, the former two-time ROH World Champion wasn’t biting. Lethal made it clear that his ROH comeback isn’t about settling for smaller challenges. “I’ve got a bigger opponent in mind,” Lethal declared, hinting at something huge on the horizon.
For fans who’ve followed ROH history, Jay Lethal’s return is more than just a nostalgia trip. Holding the record for the longest combined reign as ROH World Champion—an astounding 707 days across two reigns—Lethal’s legacy is unmatched. Despite this, he’s only competed twice on ROH on HonorClub, making his upcoming plans even more intriguing.
Lethal’s return to ROH comes at a time when the promotion is gaining momentum, and fans are eager to see how his next chapter unfolds. With a history of putting on unforgettable matches, who could this “bigger opponent” be? Will it be a new face, or is Lethal looking to rekindle an old rivalry?
