History

The ROH Top of the Class Trophy Championship was created in 2005 by Ring of Honor (ROH) and was intended to be held by ROH's rookie competitors and trainees. On November 4, 2005 Davey Andrews became the inaugural champion by defeating Derrick Dempsey and Shane Hagadorn at Showdown in Motown.[1] [2] The championship was deactivated and abandoned in 2008; Rhett Titus was the final holder of the trophy.
