Jay Lethal will get an ROH title match thanks to Jeff Jarrett’s win on AEW Collision.
Jarrett defeated ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston in a Memphis street fight on Saturday’s show. After Kingston initially kicked out of the stroke, all of Jarrett’s crew (Karen Jarrett, Satnam Singh, Lethal, and Sonjay Dutt) attacked Kingston, with Singh giving Kingston a chokeslam and Lethal hitting the lethal injection. Jarrett then hit another stroke for the win. With the win, Lethal will now get a future ROH title match.
In a later segment on Collision, Kingston cut a promo on Jay Lethal, referring to him under his real name, Jamar. Kingston said that Lethal used to love wrestling but then aligned himself with “that carny son-of-a-b****” Jarrett. He told Lethal not to bring his family to their match as Lethal’s mother would cry over the beating he would give Lethal not because she was sad about her son, but because she knew her son had it coming.
Kingston won the title last month at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, defeating Claudio Castagnoli. After Lethal continued to make motions towards the ROH title, Kingston agreed to a title match only if Jarrett could defeat him in a Memphis street fight.
