AEW President, Tony Khan has revealed that Ring Of Honor’s weekly television show will continue after he purchased the promotion from the Sinclair Broadcasting Group.
He was on the Busted Open Radio show when he said that he will be relaunching the weekly show after the April 1st Supercard of Honor event. While that show clashes with an episode of AEW Rampage the same evening, Khan thought it was important that he ran it after ROH had all the tickets sold out.
He said, “I had not scheduled this PPV… but I really think it’s important for me because they have sold tickets and made a commitment to the fans to still do the show.”
Tony, however, stated that there will be a reboot of the weekly show afterwards. “I see it as a transitional show in many ways that I’m really excited about because it’s the first show under the new management. It’s also a transitional show before I will relaunch what I hope to be a really great new Ring of Honor television product, a weekly series, wherever it does air or stream.”
Just how the weekly show will be rebooted remains to be seen. While the show had aired on Sinclair prior to Khan’s takeover, which was announced earlier this month, whether or not the new ROH regime will retain it remains unclear.

Speaking after AEW Revolution on 6th March, Khan said that he still had a lot to figure out about how he would operate his newly acquired company. He said, “There is still a lot of things we need to figure out. The distribution is a great question and what we’re going to do moving forward. It assumes we’re going to do something going forward. I do want to continue the operations for it and do have a lot of plans for it. I do expect to continue the wrestling operations and it’s also a very valuable library we acquired.
He continued, “Distribution, I can’t say anything yet about what it will be and how it’s going to live and exist. I’m very excited, not just about the library and past content, but the opportunities to create more content. Obviously, there are many other revenues streams, merchandising, that will be able to generate, but it creates a lot of opportunities for us. It’s great. For AEW, strategically, I think it’s very good that I also now own Ring of Honor.”
He also said that he will bring in a lot of young wrestlers with good potential. “I am going to be the booker. I will be bringing in young wrestlers and they have a lot of young wrestlers. We’re very successful here and doing very well here. I plan to continue to do very well with it and bring in wrestlers who can work in Ring of Honor or AEW potentially.”
