As noted, Pro Wrestling Sheet reported last night that WWE has been having secret meetings with ROH parent company Sinclair Broadcasting to potentially buyout Ring of Honor and air the weekly ROH TV show on the WWE Network

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE first contacted Sinclair back in August with the idea of buying the company for the tape library and to remove another competitor. While a deal has been discussed with WWE, ROH and other promotions, no actual offer is on the table.

The Observer added the bigger part of the deal for WWE is the extensive ROH tape library, which features classic matches with current WWE stars AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, Cesaro, Austin Aries and more.
