Tony Khan is known for his love and commitment to professional wrestling, and fans admire his genuine passion for the sport. As the owner of Ring of Honor, Khan aims to give the promotion as much visibility as possible. In fact, negotiations for an ROH television deal are nearing completion.
Khan has talked about his dedication to ROH talent, saying it’s different from how WWE treated WCW talent in the past. Tony Khan is also working to keep ROH exciting and new.
After months of speculation, AEW has officially inked a multi-year media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery valued at a whopping $555 million over three years and so it was an obvious thought on many people’s minds whether ROH would end up getting a television deal as well. After all, Tony Khan had previously confirmed ROH’s involvement during the negotiations for their media rights deal.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, negotiations for an ROH TV deal are nearing completion. The plan behind Chris Jericho’s second reign as ROH World Champion is to use him as the face of the brand, which is expected to strengthen these negotiations.
We will have to wait and see when Tony Khan will be able to secure a television deal for Ring of Honor, as many fans feel the show more than deserves to be watched on national television on a weekly basis for proper exposure.
