AEW is gearing up for its biggest event this Saturday at Globe Life Field, while Tony Khan has a lot to manage as Ring of Honor (ROH) will hold its Super Card of Honor the day before. Matches like Bandido vs. Konosuke Takechita and Athena vs. Thunder Rosa are expected to be standout bouts, raising many questions about ROH’s future.
In a recent interview with “WFAA,” Khan discussed the potential direction for ROH, particularly the idea of rebranding it as “AEW Ring of Honor” to boost media rights negotiations. This concept, which Khan considered last year, remains a possibility, but he currently favors keeping ROH’s brand intact as he believes a favorable media rights deal can be achieved.
Khan emphasized, “I still see great potential for ROH. We’ve invested significant effort into its development. AEW and ROH complement each other well structurally, and there are clear advantages in maintaining that dynamic.” He also noted that AEW’s major media rights agreement has reshaped the wrestling world, including ROH, and any move must benefit all parties involved.
Fan Take: This update is crucial for AEW supporters as it signals Khan’s commitment to preserving and possibly growing ROH as a distinct but complementary brand. Successfully navigating ROH’s future could not only enhance AEW’s influence but also provide fresh opportunities and storytelling for fans, pushing the sport forward.
