He could just keep doing what he's doing if he's happy and making good money, which I bet he is. No obligation to jump to WWE if you get hot outside of it.
He's still on RoH shows, if you don't watch them then you probably won't see him as he's full time there. He was on the NJPW US Title shows, but wasn't in G1 as he's not a NJPW guy and they only have space for so many guys. And you can't expect him to be there, and he really hasn't done much with NJPW outside the joint RoH shows anyway.
It's not really that he has vanished, more that RoH isn't hot at all. There was speculation about him in the past, but as that's not an option right now so there's really nothing to talk about him outside whatever he's doing on TV, which goes back to RoH not being that big.
Still hoping the NXT title is a triple thread
It's not going to be.
I hope they put the rocket on Black after this Takeover
But he isn't on the indies, he's signed to RoH. Which isn't indy in the slightest, it's a full time contract.
But he'd probably be in NXT for a few years, and making a lot less money than he is right now. When he's contract comes up again, I'm very sure you'll start to see him heat up again.Sounds even worse then.
He is doing nothing in a company you described as not so hot. Meanwhile most of their roster is jumping ship.
If he went to NXT today he wouldn't come in with as much momentum as he had about 1.5 years ago.

There's a lot of people doing nothing in a not so hot WWE as well. I'm not convinced Lethal would have been pushed to the moon in WWE either.Sounds even worse then.

Indeed. NXT isn't a sure thing for anyone. The only sure thing it would be for Lethal would be a long sit out due to the legal issues between WWE and RoH, then he'd get his spot in the NXT log jam while being paid a lot less than he's currently making.
That doesn't benefit anyone well. Especially when you can't transfer your (potential) new found stardom into money like he could if he stayed outside of WWE or RoH.
I really don't think you understand how the wrestling currently works.I watched a bit of ROH IPPV or whatever this weekend, and then NXT and its night and day difference between the two.
Now with Fisch/Cole/Kyle and soon to be Lio Rush and Dijack at this point Lethal missed a big opportunity.
No he didn't lol. Your mentality of "go to WWE any chance u get" is terrible. Times have changed. There's lots of money outside the big company.

Okada makes good coin.Sure and when Fish/Orielly and Cole are in huge hot matches at Barclay next year in front of 12/13000 fans while Lethal is opening an ROH IPPV in front of 1000 fans we will see.
ROH looked so bush league what I saw. A dark small little arena, compared to NXT in the Barclays center.
He might be making decent coin, but tell me outside of WWE who is making 2.4 Million or 3.3 Million or 8 Million ?

RoH just set an attendance record this year, not even 5 months ago with very little NJPW talent on the show.Its not a good look when the rats are fleeing the titanic. ROH is bleeding talent. If NJPW ever dumped them they would be finished.
I would say Evolve has surpassed ROH at being ROH at this point in time.
