Tony Khan Comments on ROH Returning to 2300 Arena for Death Before Dishonor 2026

AEW President Tony Khan is excited to see Ring of Honor return to the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Death Before Dishonor next month.

As noted previously, ROH announced on social media on Monday morning that for the second year running, Death Before Dishonor will emanate from the 2300 Arena on Friday, August 21.

The news was first broken by the Philadelphia Inquirer, which also spoke to ROH boss Tony Khan about it. The venue was one of the primary bases of the promotion during the 2000s, and Khan is excited for the company to return to 2300 Arena for yet another edition of Death Before Dishonor. He also spoke about the success of last year’s event, which saw Athena retain the ROH Women’s World Title in the main event.

Below are the highlights:

On ROH returning to 2300 Arena for Death Before Dishonor 2026

“There’s a great tradition of Ring of Honor wrestling in Philadelphia. It’s very fitting that one of the most important shows every year in the Ring of Honor calendar, the great Death Before Dishonor event, is coming to Philadelphia. I went to see wrestling there when I was very young, around 13 years old. It means a lot to go back there. There’s tremendous history at the 2300 Arena for the Ring of Honor. It’s just a great tradition of wrestling there.”

On last year’s Death Before Dishonor

“I really loved the Death Before Dishonor show we had there last year. It was tremendous. So much has happened in ROH in the past year. Bandido and Athena have maintained dominant reigns and have wrestled all over the world and have shown fans why they are two of the greatest champions in the sport. We’ve seen a number of great women and men emerging in ROH and I think the shows recently have been tremendous wrestling shows. So there’s a lot to be excited about in ROH as we approach Death Before Dishonor next month.”

As announced by the @phillyinquirer and @phillysport, @ringofhonor is returning to the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia with Death Before Dishonor on Fri, Aug 21!
