Jonathan Gresham has been dethroned.
Josh Woods captured the ROH Pure Championship at ROH Death Before Dishonor, defeating Jonathan Gresham in a Pure Rules match.
The finish saw Woods counter a kimura with a wheelbarrow suplex out of a tombstone for the victory.
The match was restarted at the request of Gresham following a double pinfall. Gresham retained the title as a result of the draw, but wanted there to be a definitive winner.
After the bout, Gresham adhered to the Code of Honor by strapping the belt around the waist of Woods.
