Following an incredible title run, the star dropped his championship to another major star at a ROH event that took place this weekend in Palm Beach Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>The star is none other than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/nick-wayne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Nick Wayne<\/a>, who held the ROH Television Championship for more than a year. Wayne won the title by beating Komander on an episode of Collision in April 2025. He then went on to have an incredible run with the title, defending it against names like Rhino, Evil Uno, Titan, and Jay Lethal. But at a recent taping of an upcoming episode of ROH TV on May 9 at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the AEW star lost his title.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JJWilliamsWON\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">spoilers by JJ Williams<\/a>, Wayne defended his championship against AR Fox. Despite an incredible performance, the AEW star failed to retain his title, resulting in a major title change in Ring of Honor. This recent Palm Beach Gardens show is yet to air on live TV for the fans.<\/p>\n<p>This is a massive setback for Nick Wayne&#8217;s run in professional wrestling, and only time will tell where his story will move on from here. Moreover, the 20-year-old has been performing in the Ring of Honor for a really long time. He is expected to be coming back to All Elite Wrestling with an all-new storyline moving forward.<\/p>\n<h2>AEW President Tony Khan announced a major title match for the ROH Supercard of Honor<\/h2>\n<p>Supercard of Honor is set to be the next big pay-per-view for Ring of Honor.
