He won ROH's Survival of the Fittest tournament in November 2010 which propelled him to win the World Championship. His World Championship victory made him the first wrestler to win the ROH Triple Crown and the first wrestler to ever hold both the Impact Wrestling and ROH Triple Crowns. He was also a regular for the Southern California-based promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and has made several tours of Japan with Pro Wrestling Noah, where he is a former GHC Heavyweight Champion, and is, to date, the only foreigner ever to win said championship.
Between TNA, ROH and Noah, Edwards has won 14 total championships (including four world championships) and is the only wrestler to have held the TNA, ROH and GHC world championships.
