Current ROH Champion Excited For The Future Of The Company

ROH

A current Ring of Honor champion is excited for the future of the company.

Bishop Kaun debuted for Ring of Honor in 2018 in the tag team Soldiers of Savagery before eventually joining Shane Taylor Promotions in 2021.

The trio of Taylor, Kaun and Moses went on to become the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions.

Following the hiatus for Ring of Honor, Kaun along with Toa Liona and Brian Cage aligned with Prince Nana in the Embassy. This trio defeated Dalton Castle and The Boys to win the six-man tag team titles at ROH Final Battle 2022.

In an interview with WrestleZone’s Bill Pritchard, Kaun reflected on the journey from the end of the previous era of ROH to now. He said:

“It’s been pretty interesting. Last year, of course, [there was] uncertainty, pretty emotional day, too. But I went into Final Battle last year with a plan already.”

“I knew AEW was gonna be in Garland a couple days later, and I was in contact with people in the company, so I had my plan in place, and then I had my opportunity with Andrade, a couple Dark matches, Adam Cole, Kazarian, and then for Tony to buy the company… so I got signed back in February, and then for him to buy the company a month or so after that, like ‘Oh, that’s cool.”

The ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion continued on to express his desire to win back the gold, saying:

“Hopefully all my friends get their jobs back.’ But what does that mean? What is the rebrand gonna be?”

“Then, one year later from Final Battle to this Final Battle, I’m back, I win my championship back.”

“I’m a two-time Ring of Honor Six-Man Champion. He announced the deal with HonorClub. I’m excited to see what the future holds.”

“The Embassy, we definitely have eyes on the trios championships in AEW, but if any six-man units want to step it up in Ring of Honor, then they can bring it.”

Kaun noted that he wants to make history and exceed what he accomplished in Shane Taylor Promotions, saying:

“I told them once we won, there’s two things that I really want to accomplish. One, I want to make history again. I feel like I made history with STP in the past.”

“We held the championships over the pandemic, but we were the longest reigning champions ever, we were undefeated. So I want to make history again. I want to hold these titles with prestige and the respect they deserve.”

Laying out his goals as the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion, Kaun said:

“I wanna go undefeated. I want to defeat any six-man unit and again make a record title reign history. Second, again holding these championships with respect and prestige, but making them relevant and making people respect these championships.”

“I feel like Ring of Honor titles, sometimes for certain people, [they] are secondary, and they’re not. If you’re a champion in a major promotion, you’re champion, and you are in the history books.”

The Ring of Honor star concluded by discussing the value of respect and his desire for it, saying:

“You’re respected, and they chose you, and you worked your ass off to get this point, to hold those championships and represent the company. So it’s just walking around with that kind of confidence.”

“We demand respect, we are champions, we’re gonna make history, and that’s it. I know Toa and Brian don’t have too much experience with six-man tagging, so I do have that.”

“I try to give that experience [with] how we put these matches together, how we’re gonna be a dominant force and make sure that we’re kicking everyone’s ass in the six-man [matches].”
