Wheeler Yuta Regains ROH Pure Title At Final Battle 2022

Wheeler Yuta makes history at ROH Final Battle 2022.

For the first time ever there is a two-time Ring of Honor Pure Champion and that distinction is held by Wheeler Yuta who defeated Daniel Garcia for the championship at ROH Final Battle.

An uphill battle all night for Yuta, Garcia was able to utilize Pure rules in order to force his opponent to exhaust all of his rope break options. However, in the end, Yuta mustered up the strength and learn from his lessons in the Blackpool Combat Club, knocking out Garcia with Hammer Elbows as Garcia was trapped in a crucifix position.

After the match, Wheeler tried to adhere to the code of honor but Garcia kicked his hand away, dropping the championship belt in the process. In the end, Garcia did pick up the championship belt and award it to his opponent before leaving, seemingly disgusted at himself.
