Tony Khan Says Fans Will Have ‘Great News Soon’ Regarding Weekly ROH Shows
– Speaking to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, AEW President & CEO Tony Khan discussed the news of Chris Jericho re-upping with AEW for another three years. Additionally, Tony Khan shared an update on a possible TV deal coming for Ring of Honor (ROH).
Khan stated on the subject, “We’ll have great news soon about Ring of Honor weekly shows.” He added, “The success of Death Before Dishonor on pay-per-view has ensured there will be more Ring of Honor pay-per-views. Our goal is to have one more great pay-per-view for Ring of Honor in 2022 and then follow that up with a weekly show in 2023.”
Tony Khan added on tonight’s special Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite: “It’s ‘Title Tuesday,’ only the second time in ‘Dynamite’ history we’ll have four title matches on the same show. We’re going to deliver in a major way.” He also admitted how important tonight’s broadcast was to him. “It’s important for us to be the most-watched wrestling show,” added the AEW boss. “We want to maintain the great audience we consistently have on Wednesdays and bring it to this one-time-only Tuesday special. We want to be the number-one wrestling show this week on Tuesday.”
Tony Khan acquired ROH and its tape library earlier this year. Since buying the company, Khan promoted and booked two solo-ROH events in April and July. Also, the titles have been utilized in AEW’s programming.
On Tonight’s AEW Dynamite, Chris Jericho will defend the ROH World Championship against former champion Dalton Castle. The card will be broadcast live on TBS.
