Could the acquisition of Ring of Honor finally pay dividends for Tony Khan this summer as the ongoing media rights discussions with Warner Bros Discovery continue to heat up?
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan recently participated in the ROH Death Before Dishonor Media Call. When asked if ROH has come up in the ongoing media rights discussions with WBD, Khan revealed that they have.
“Yes. I have had good conversations with Warner Brothers Discovery and Ring of Honor has come up in these conversations, which is exciting,” Tony Khan said. “It’s a great time in the wrestling business and AEW and ROH. Also, with AEW negotiating a major media rights package and having these in-depth and exciting conversations that we’re having right now with Warner Brothers Discovery.
“It’s tremendous for ROH to be involved in this. It’s something we have discussed, it’s a great brand. We produce great content weekly and the pay-per-view shows, as well as a great library of historical content and trademarks, and IP opportunities. It’s an active conversation now and Ring of Honor is part of the bigger AEW discussions that we’re having.” [H/T: Fightful]
