Dubbed "The Franchise" of Ring of Honor, Lethal is a two-time ROH World Champion, and holds the record for most combined days with the ROH World Championship in company history.[11][12] He was also a record-setting two-time and longest reigning ROH World Television Champion, holding the title for 567 days, and the only man to hold the World Television Championship and the World Championship at the same time, and a former ROH World Tag Team Champion with Jonathan Gresham. Lethal is recognized by ROH as a Grand Slam Champion, and is the only man to have held the ROH World, World Tag Team, World Television and Pure championships. In 2020, he was selected by Ring of Honor as their Wrestler of the Decade (2010s).[13]
He is also known for his work in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he was a six-time TNA X Division Champion and a former TNA World Tag Team Champion with Consequences Creed as The Lethal Consequences. Between ROH and TNA (now Impact Wrestling), Lethal has won 13 total championships.
