He picked up a big win over Tetsuya Naito at ROH&#8217;s All Star Extravaganza VIII PPV in September. NJPW is very careful with how they book Naito, so that was a huge win for Lethal.\u00a0WWE was said to have some level of interest in Lethal, but the money WWE has been offering ROH free agents has said to have been low.\u00a0It remains to be seen what Adam Cole will do, as he is expected to finish up his ROH commitments in April. Sources have given me an indication that it is likely Cole will head to WWE at that point, but nothing is set in stone as of yet.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3684383895\"><div id=\"pwtor-3301938445\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>PWTorch has learned that Ring of Honor has signed former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal to a new\u00a0two year exclusive contract.
