AEW President Tony Khan comments on Ring of Honor’s name potentially being changed

During an interview with WFAA, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about Ring of Honor’s name potentially being changed or re-branded to AEW: Ring of Honor. Here was Khan’s response…

“I still think there’s a great chance to develop ROH. 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.” (quotes courtesy of Robert DeFelice)
