Last night on AEW Collision (July 19), AEW revealed significant updates regarding its upcoming pay-per-view events. Earlier this year, AEW had announced that ROH’s annual “Death Before Dishonor” event, originally scheduled for Friday, July 11th, would be rescheduled. Now, the event is set for Friday, September 5th, coinciding with AEW’s week-long residency in Philadelphia from August 27th to September 11th. However, during the Crash taping last night, AEW confirmed another date change for the event. While the venue remains the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, no explanation has been provided for the latest rescheduling. Traditionally held in July since Tony Khan’s acquisition of ROH in 2022, this year’s event marks the first time “Death Before Dishonor” will be hosted in Philadelphia since 2021. More updates will be shared if additional changes occur.
Fan Take: This news is crucial for AEW fans as it signals AEW’s commitment to integrating ROH events more prominently, potentially setting the stage for bigger cross-promotional storylines. The rescheduling might build anticipation and allow for enhanced event production, ultimately elevating the wrestling experience for fans.
