Player 1 takes out Jonathan which says “While opposed by a character with toughness 8 or greater, O.T. Red enhancements cannot be negated.
Player 2 takes out the medium of Endor goes out and exchanges Jonathan with Spy.
Player 1 look at players 2 hand with spy n chooses to stay n battle.
With regular initiative Player 1 plays Counsel of Abigail which says Interrupt the battle. If used by an O.T hero return an evil card to the bottom of owners deck. CBP by an evil card. He chooses the medium of Endor
What happens next?
Is spy put back into territory and Jon back in battle with CoA a gained CBN?
Is the while opposed in battle referring to the player or is it referring to Jonathan the hero?

Several things:
"While opposed" refers to Jonathan, not the player.
Because Endor is an instant ability that has already completed, the ITB doesn't undo the exchange. Spy stays in battle and Jonathan stays where he is. If it had been a straight "negate an evil card", then Jonathan would come back.
Cards cannot gain or lose CBX after they are played*. Say that Spy plays an enhancement which negates Endor (Bravery of David when Dave isn't in play, for example); Jonathan would come back and make OT red enhancements CBN, but BoD is still negatable because nothing was making it CBN when it was played.
*Unless they're characters; they can gain or lose CBX after they are played by entering battle. For example, placing Joy on Music Leaders doesn't make it CBN because it was already in play and can't gain it; however, if you then attack with Music Leaders they reactivate and gain CBN from Joy.

ITB can interrupt a completed instant ability if it's on the last card played. The problem is exchange (along with band, choose opponent, present and add to battle) play another card, rendering them effectively CBI by ITB.
Other than that, I agree with Bobbert.
