Tony Khan hints at a big change to Ring of Honor.
Since Tony Khan purchased Ring of Honor in March 2022, the brand has run separate from ROH, but many talent has crossed between the two promotions.
Speaking at the ROH Death Before Dishonor press conference, Tony Khan commented on the possibility of more cohesion between the two.
"I recognize that AEW is at the very top of pro wrestling. The ROH brand could frankly benefit from even more association. I don't think it's out of the question to say or sacrilegious to say. I think it would only help grow the ROH brand if I were to license it, sublicense, if it were AEW ROH. I don't think that's a crazy thing or sacrilegious or bad. I think it would be good for everybody. People would see more of the connectivity that exists between promotions and what we're going for," said Khan.
Later in the press conference, he was asked about the possibility of ROH airing on one of the WBD networks.
"It's not crazy at all to think Ring of Honor could be televised in the Warner Brothers Discovery family. Would Ring of Honor frankly have a lot more value as AEW Ring of Honor? Yeah, probably. I think I've come to that realization as far as the presentation. That might mean a more cohesive absorption of the promotion into the fabric of what we're already doing, but not in a way that would affect things," he said.
Khan once again stated that they are having great talks with Warner Brothers Discovery regarding media rights.
