According to PWTorch.com, former Ring of Honor World Champion Jay Lethal has signed a brand new multi-year contract to be an exclusive talent to ROH.

In WWE’s quest for independent talent, this is a major victory for Ring of Honor, as WWE did make Lethal an offer that he turned down. It’s being reported that WWE low-balled Lethal and ROH was simply offering more.

WWE recently has been aggressively scouting and chasing talent from all promotions.
