Ring of Honor (ROH) is a professional wrestling promotion recently acquired by Tony Khan, CEO of AEW, Chief Football Strategy Officer of the Jacksonville Jaguars and GM/Sporting Director of Fulham F.C. The acquisition, which was completed through an entity that is wholly-owned by Tony Khan, included ROH’s extensive video library dating back to 2002, brand assets, intellectual property, production equipment and more.

With more than 20 years of rich wrestling history, ROH has launched the careers of numerous AEW stars, including CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Hangman Page, Dr. Britt Baker, Adam Cole, Samoa Joe, among others. Additional members of the AEW roster have made their mark in ROH, including the late Brodie Lee, The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson), Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, Scorpio Sky, ReDragon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly), Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent? Beretta), Jay Lethal, Christopher Daniels, Matt Sydal, Mercedes Martinez, Serena Deeb, Frankie Kazarian, Keith Lee, Eddie Kingston, Evil Uno, QT Marshall, Danhausen, Lance Archer, Griff Garrison, Thunder Rosa, Wheeler Yuta, Luchasaurus, Orange Cassidy, Ethan Page, Austin Gunn, PAC, Kip Sabian, John Silver, Alex Reynolds, Jerry Lynn, BJ Whitmer, Ace Steel and Sonjay Dutt.

ROH’s current list of champions includes ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli, ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe, ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta, ROH World Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) and ROH Women’s World Champion Mercedes Martinez. Tony Khan’s purchase of ROH signifies a new chapter in the future of professional wrestling as AEW’s meteoric rise continues to draw the youngest-skewing wrestling audience on television.

Big CONGRATS to Athena for becoming the new ROH Women's Champion!!! I know I mentioned before that TK/ROH needs to create/build new stars and I know that Athena isn't new to the scene but she reinvented herself so well that she feels like a brand new person/character and it makes sense. She's a fresh face to ROH and a big/great enough talent to be the face of the ROH women's division moving forward. So yeah, super proud of her, even though she's a big bully and I'm looking forward to seeing what she/ROH has in store for us going forward!!! 🥰!!!

[Peppermt]

love that the reporters showed due respect to the King of TV, Samoa Joe

[LokiTricksterG]

I'd love to see ROH continue as its own separate entity. I could see guys like Timothy Thatcher, Cara Noir, Chris Ridgeway, and Aussie Open (depending on their availability) fitting in nicely. None of them ever wrestled for ROH in the past, but they definitely wrestle that classic ROH style. Maybe bring back guys like Davey Richards and Homicide as well.

I got the ppv on fite and man it was worth every penny... Very good show👍👍
Thanks TK for keeping ROH alive so god bless this man & may he have a long life so we the true WRESTLING fans enjoy the product so if anybody can support AEW/ROH any way you can like go to a live show, buy merch, buy a ppv well do it
TK needs every bit of support

I don't really watch these, but I will say, this was probably one of the best shows that I have seen all year! For sure! Great Work! <3

Congratulations to Athena (: the legend! Well deserved!

Good Sunday afternoon and outstanding video post. Especially a great media scrum. Congratulations to all the winners and people who participated.

[reinierlara]

The best part of this media scrum is when Samoa Joe showed up and answer questions 😂😅

[jonathanellis]

Great show. The Briscos vs FTR was a standout. Its the kind of match and energy that I feel has been missing from AEW as of late, interesting and slightly different gimmick matches, and of course the violence. AEW seems to have been watered down lately, (possibly network interference) that's what started to turn people away from WWE, networks banning “naughty” words and watering down the violence.

[jawanfarmer]

The show was a banger i like it great Ring of Honor Final Battle post show media scrum

[HeyMikey]

Shout out to Dem franchise boyz.. the new ROH Tag Team Champion's the Briscoes!!! Can't wait til they get the facetime/respect/recognition they deserve!!! Don't worry Boyz.. it's coming.. PAUSE!!! We'll be here 💪💪💪!!!

Congratulations to wheeler yuta 2x ROH pure champion hopefully defending the title in Japan including NJPW events

[bradanime]

Time for Claudio castagnoli to be awarded new ROH world title and defend his title in Japan including NJPW strong events and wrestle kingdom 17 in Tokyo dome vs takeshi morishima rematch from last year

[richardcoreno]

If ROH operates as its own entity -- its own roster, its own storylines, its own house shows, its own PPVs -- and not as a brand is hope the company can find a nice niche in the vast pro wrestling marketplace. And I betcha that's what longtime fans are looking/hoping for (before investing their cash in the new Honor Club).

Samoa Joe 🇦🇸 on the mike 🎤 is pure gold! 🪙

[bradanime]

Time for Athena to defend ROH world women’s championship in Tokyo Japan by representing ROH in other promotions like NWA and NJPW

[bradanime]

Congratulations to the briscoe brothers 13x ROH world tag team champions maybe defending the tag team titles in Japan and other promotions like NWA and NJPW including battle in the valley

[josephsmithmeyer]

Get Demhem Boyz on TV best tag team in the world and no one knows it but roh fans and real fans

ROH might grow to be the better brand. AEW minus the Elite antics.

[craigking]

I’m so tired of Tony not giving any credit/hype to the Briscoes. He barely mentions the match here and every ROH champion gets to talk at the scrum except them. Best tag team in the world and he practically hides them.
