Since Tony Khan acquired Ring Of Honor from Sinclair Broadcast Group in March of 2022, the promotion have yet to ink a new TV deal. The ROH owner is confident that will change, though.
"So with Ring of Honor, we haven't got the weekly TV going yet. I say yet, because it is something that is important to me. I really think we will get a weekly Ring of Honor show but I'm not going to do it until the distribution deal makes sense and is right for everybody," Khan said during the pre-Death Before Dishonor media call.
Khan then noted he is hoping the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view airing on Bleacher Report will lead to a weekly TV deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
"Well, I have talked to Warner Brothers Discovery and I'm continuing to talk to Warner Brothers Discovery about it. I had worked with them to get Death Before Dishonor on Bleacher Report, where it'll be available this weekend. I think that's a really positive step. The first time Ring of Honor has worked with Warner Brothers Discovery. I believe it's going to be one of the biggest pay-per-views in Ring of Honor's history," Khan continued.
"So I spoke to them yesterday, and they're really excited about this event. There's been good preordering. It's a different pattern than AEW, but for Ring of Honor, this is going to turn out to be one of the strongest shows in their 20-year history of producing events. So I think it's a great way to start the partnership with this event. Get Warner Brothers Discovery familiar with the Ring of Honor brand, which is happening. You know, we've been in Atlanta this week, one of the home cities of Warner Brothers Discovery, a lot of executives have come to the show and been around AEW, and also around a lot of the great Ring of Honor stars," he added.
"So I think there's definitely appetite on both sides and interest. Like I said, we're starting things out together with our first pay-per-view event with Warner Brothers Discovery working with Ring of Honor and hopefully, I really, really would love to parlay that into weekly TV for Ring of Honor, which would be I think great for the wrestling fans and obviously great for everybody working with Ring of Honor."
