Ring Of Honor owner Tony Khan seems pretty adamant that he doesn't expect ROH to play second fiddle to AEW, the other pro wrestling promotion he owns.
“Is Ring of Honor as big as AEW right now? No. Is it selling as many PPVs? No. But that was incredible growth for Ring of Honor, a company that has over 20 years of history now," TK said during the May 26 media call to promote AEW Double or Nothing (h/t Wrestling Inc.) "And they sold a ton of PPVs over the years, and that was, of all the shows they’ve promoted, one of the biggest Ring of Honor shows. It was the biggest show by far in years. When we get all the final numbers in, it’s going to be probably 20 times or more than the recent Ring of Honor PPVs. So we’ve been able to rebuild and get Ring of Honor, I think, to a stronger place it’s been in many years.”
Tony Khan announced his acquisition of ROH in the opening segment of the March 2 edition of AEW Dynamite on TBS. During the post-AEW Revolution media scrum on Sunday, March 6, Khan confirmed that he will be booking Ring Of Honor when the beloved promotion returns from hiatus ... an event that is yet to occur.
Aside from the Supercard of Honor event -- which had been scheduled way before TK finalized his acquisition of the promotion and was referenced by the man himself in the above quote -- ROH is yet to return. Ring Of Honor titles have been defended on AEW TV and at various independent shows, but we still don't know when the company will return to producing weekly shows.
“I would love to get Ring of Honor weekly TV series, or streaming series, wherever it ends up going, very soon," Khan said in response to a question regarding ROH's future. "And it’s something I’m working on, and I think it would be awesome for the fans, in addition to the great shows they get from AEW. There are a lot of Ring of Honor fans around the world that can’t wait until the TV comes back. And I am hopeful we’ll have Ring of Honor TV and continue the great calendar of Ring of Honor PPV events. Supercard of Honor was a big success for us, and I’d like to bring Ring of Honor back to PPV as well and follow up on it. I don’t know when the TV will start back up on a weekly basis, but that is my goal, to get it going again. It’s something I’m working on.”
