Tony Khan teases future ROH television deal


Tony Khan teased news of a television deal for Ring of Honor during the Final Battle 2022 media call on Wednesday afternoon.

On the call, Khan was asked about the current state of negotiations regarding a TV deal for ROH. Khan answered by saying that he would be limiting the ROH content seen on AEW programming after Final Battle. Khan said he has two amazing companies, that AEW has to come first, but ROH is also important. Khan then said that he would have more to say about the ROH TV future after Final Battle on Saturday afternoon.

Tony Khan purchased ROH in March of 2022. He has run two PPV’s as the company’s owner — Supercard of Honor in April and Death Before Dishonor in July. Both of those events set ROH company records for PPV buys. Final Battle 2021 was the final ROH PPV under previous ownership. That event was headlined by Jay Lethal vs. Jonathan Gresham for the ROH World Championship.

ROH Final Battle will air live on PPV on Saturday December 10.

Tony should not be saying "AEW comes first". Whilst everyone knows this, you shouldn't explicitly say this.
Also, if that is genuinely where your head is at, hire someone to sit at the top of ROH who's in charge of booking etc so you're not using it as an after thought.

The rumoured ROH TV situation however is definitely not the way forward. I can't see many people paying $10 for ROH television. It's not like they're as extensive as the WWE network were. Also a 90 day delay on PPVS is terrible. WWE's "Premier Live Events" are available instantly. It just doesn't represent value for money at all.
Have A Nice Day!
