[3] After the ROH World Television Championship announcement, wrestling columnist James Caldwell gave his comments: "I like the idea.

It gives mid-card wrestlers on ROH's roster something to fight for in the context of trying to win a wrestling match to "move up the company ladder."

[7] The first four seeds of eight in the tournament were announced on January 22, 2010: Rhett Titus (8), El Generico (7), Eddie Edwards (6), and Delirious (5).

[8] The other four seeds were announced on January 26, 2010: Kevin Steen (1), Kenny King (2), Colt Cabana (3), and Davey Richards (4).

[15] On the April 26 episode, Edwards defeated Richards in the final of the tournament to become the first ROH World Television Champion.

[16] The first championship belt design was introduced on March 5, 2010, when it was given to the newly crowned inaugural champion Eddie Edwards.

The central plate had the engravings of the ROH logo as well as the statement "World Television Wrestling Champion" hovering above the backdrop of a city, with a television lying on top of a globe with an overhead shot of a wrestling ring between them in front of the skyline.

[17] Between 2014 and 2015, during Jay Lethal's second record-setting reign, the belt design was modified to emphasize the "ROH Champion" portion of the title.

On June 22, 2023, a new and fourth design of the championship belt was presented to champion Samoa Joe on Ring of Honor Wrestling.

He defeated previous champion Brian Cage, Willie Mack, Mark Davis, AR Fox and Blake Christian in a Survival of the Fittest match at Final Battle on December 20, 2024.
