Is Tony Khan still planning to rebrand Ring of Honor under the AEW banner?
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan was a recent guest on WFAA Dallas. When asked if there’s any update on a potential name change of Ring of Honor to put it under the AEW brand, Khan believes there’s a great chance to continue developing the brand.
“I still think there’s a great chance to develop ROH,” Tony Khan said. “We really have done a lot of work to develop ROH. They are unique companies, structurally. I think that does make a lot of sense, and I still think there’s merit to that, but there are also a lot of reasons why I’ve positioned [ROH] the way I have. Ring of Honor, I still think we have a chance to strike at great opportunities.
“AEW has made huge media rights deals that have changed the landscape for all wrestling companies, including ROH, and any deal we do, it’s got to make really good sense for everyone involved, including us at ROH and also AEW. So, that is something I’ve considered… Right now, I think we’ve done a great job positioning the company as leaders, with leading champions like Athena and Bandido.” [H/T: Fightful]
