ROH, "The House of Truth", marking the return of the stable with Lethal as the figurehead. Over the next year, Lethal would become recognized as the longest reigning World Television Champion in ROH history, with successful championship defenses against the likes of Matt Taven, Caprice Coleman, A. C. H., Matt Sydal on the last PPV of the year; Final Battle 2014 and again at the ROH 13th Anniversary Show against Alberto el Patrón. In March 2015, Lethal became the most successful World Television Champion of all time, with the most successful defenses as champion, more than doubling the previous record held by Matt Taven. On April 4, Lethal reached a full year in his title reign, effectively making him the holder of all records associated with the World Television Championship. In April 2015, Lethal began professing himself as "the" ROH Champion, claiming his World Television championship was now the true top title that mattered in ROH (over the World Championship). In May 2015, Lethal debuted a new World Television Championship belt, which omitted the word "Television" and now read simply "ROH Champion". As a result, matchmaker Nigel McGuinness announced that at Best in the World 2015, Lethal would face Jay Briscoe in a winner-takes-all "Battle of the Belts" match with both ROH's World Championship and World Television Championships on the line. Lethal defeated Briscoe after hitting Briscoe with his own Jay Driller and then a Lethal Injection to retain his title and win the World Championship, thus making him a double champion in the process, as well as becoming the first African-American to win the championship. The win also made him Ring of Honor's third Triple Crown Champion, as he is also a former ROH Pure Champion. On August 22, Lethal teamed with the "King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura to defeat reDRagon at Ring of Honor's Field of Honor event. On October 23 at Glory By Honor XIV, Lethal lost the Television Championship to Roderick Strong, ending his reign at 567 days, and 36 successful championship defenses. As part 2015's "supershow" series with Preston City Wrestling, Lethal retained the ROH World Championship in three individual defenses over Noam Dar, Doug Williams and Joey Hayes. Through ROH's working relationship with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Lethal made his debut for the Japanese promotion on January 4, 2016, at Wrestle Kingdom 10 in Tokyo Dome, where he successfully defended the ROH World
