Deonna Purrazzo vs. Thunder Rosa II is almost certainly going to happen at Supercard of Honor now.

This is an utterly insane thought, but is there any way Tony says gently caress it and decides to buy music rights on the old ROH shows if/when they get posted somewhere?

He�ll probably inquire and if the price is right, then sure.

SRS with scoops apparently

Curious what this means for ROH going forward and where it'll end up broadcast-wise, if anywhere.

They released all of the wrestlers, right? So there are no contracts he picked up or anything?

My new wrestling conspiracy theory is that Cody didn't re-sign with AEW because he's going to be hired to run ROH as a southern-style promotion so every match can be Very Cody Rhodes.

The press release doesn't commit to running shows but it seems like they will. It's being kept as its own company which leaves open non Turner TV or streaming deals too.

Well there needs to be another major wrestling company so if it's ran similar to old ROH all good for me.

Hopefully Tony shells out for new title belts, because the last few designs have been hideous

As the dust settles on Tony Khan's acquisition of Ring of Honor, there are a lot of people asking a lot of questions. At this juncture, we have no foresight into if and when he will run additional ROH shows, whether the announced PPV and TV taping in Dallas and Philadelphia will still happen and even whether the existing ROH TV will continue to air where it currently exists weekly. These are all things to be ironed out in the days ahead, so while we have gotten a number of emails asking for clarification, while I could be wrong, I honestly don't believe those finer points have had a chance to be worked out yet.

What we are hearing is the following:

*Yesterday, the Ring of Honor side was still working on production for the TV show and the forthcoming events and the word making the rounds in that circle was that there were discussions but the deal wasn't done. That changed very late in the day. How late we don't know, but one person believed it could have been as late as 6 PM EST. So, while the two sides had been negotiating for at least a few weeks, the official deal was indeed closed yesterday, as Tony Khan said in the ring on Dynamite. Prior to that point, there was a small circle in AEW who were aware of the discussions and believed it to be a done deal well before that.

*The ROH announcements for Supercard of Honor and the TV taping in Philly were made independent of the AEW side and were put into motion before the sale was announced. That was all pre-Tony Khan, so whether any of that takes place as originally envisioned remains to be seen.

*The announcement that AEW would be returning to Baltimore and running The UMBC Event Center instead of the Royal Farms Arena has zero to do with the ROH acquisition. AEW is running UMBC because the Royal Farms Arena is in the process of undergoing extensive renovations.

*There had been WWE interest in purchasing Ring of Honor when the company's hiatus was announced last year. PWInsider.com can confirm the two sides had entered into discussions in December but for some reason, the talks ended without an official deal being made. This would not have been the first time the two sides had some sort of communication about the idea of WWE buying the promotion and library, as there had been previous talks when Paul Levesque was in power. In the end, Khan stepped in and was able to strike a deal. I can confirm there were some in WWE who were legitimately shocked when the announcement happened, as they believed the announcement was going to be that AEW had come to terms with HBO Max for a streaming deal.

*On the ROH side, the sale was described as "bittersweet" as it felt this was the right thing for the long-term viability of Ring of Honor itself but there were a lot of people who truly loved working on the promotion.

A big LOL and gently caress you to WWE. I do hope that the people who have poured themselves into ROH for the better will get to continue to work there and that it's not like a full gut job or anything. There are obviously people there who care about the promotion and it'd be a shame to lose those types of people.

Drakkel: May 6, 2007; IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!

I think the fact that ROH was in the process of announcing a show while definitely also negotiating this sale probably means they'll still exist as it's own show in some form or another.

Right, but existing as basically an indie booking whoever they want for each show is different from having contracted names which is what I assume those upcoming shows are.

Tony Kahn rips open his dress shirt to reveal another dress shirt the exact same color underneath but with "Aces and Eights" written in grease pin upon his breast.
