Tony Khan Provides Non-Answer When Addressing ROH’s Television Future

AEW has a lot of things going on with their new television deal. They also just announced a new agreement with FOX Mexico. That isn’t the only pro wrestling company that Tony Khan owns, as ROH’s television future is also up in the air.

In a media call promoting WrestleDream, Tony Khan was asked about ROH’s exclusion from AEW’s new deal with Warner Bros. Discovery and whether they are still seeking a new home for the show.

Rather than directly answering, Tony Khan shifted the conversation to his enthusiasm for the ROH brand, highlighting Thursday’s episode. He shared a nostalgic moment about ordering the Kenta Kobashi vs. Samoa Joe match years ago, a bout that was recently featured on ROH. He emphasized how his passion for pro wrestling has grown even more recently.

Tony Khan acknowledged that while ROH isn’t included in the current television deal, he sees opportunities in the market. He pointed out the significance of AEW’s deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes streaming on MAX. He also stressed that ROH is still a top priority for him, with international broadcasting rights still being negotiated in various regions.

ROH’s future remains uncertain. Though they get some attention on AEW programming, the Honor Club subscription service has yet to gain significant traction, and their pay-per-view events haven’t been record-breakers either.

It’s a complex situation, and Tony Khan is clearly working hard to put a positive spin on it. We’ll keep a close eye on any new developments as they come in.
