Nick Wayne wins ROH TV Championship

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Nick Wayne is the new Ring of Honor TV Champion.

Wayne defeated Komander on Thursday’s AEW Collision Spring BreakThru episode to capture the ROH World Television Championship, his first singles title in AEW or Ring of Honor.

Using his Prodigyplex finisher, Wayne pinned Komander on Thursday night in Boston to bring gold back to The Patriarchy, even as dissension in the group with Wayne, Christian Cage, and Kip Sabian continues to be teased.

At just 19 years old, Wayne becomes the youngest singles champion in the history of either AEW or ROH. He previously held AEW Trios gold with Christian and Killswitch of The Patriarchy in 2024.

Komander’s title reign ends after five successful defenses. He had held the ROH TV title since Final Battle in December 2024 where he captured the gold in a six-way Survival of the Fittest elimination match.
