Tony Khan announced during the ROH Final Battle media scrum that ROH would be airing a weekly show in the new year.
The show is set to air on the relaunched HonorClub service.
In an interview with TV Insider, Khan was asked about what fans can expect from the new ROH relaunch on HonorClub in 2o23.
Khan said that he believes ROH may be in the best position they’ve been in for 20 years, and addressed the potential of rebooting the working relationship with NJPW.
He said:
“As I understand it the numbers we already reached in a very short time are strong in membership and customer base. More than ever before. It’s a great value to join HonorClub right now.
“We’re going to be following up soon to talk about when the weekly Ring of Honor TV will launch and stream on HonorClub for sure. There are a lot of interesting partnerships and possibilities with great wrestling companies.
“Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling had a great working relationship we are rekindling. We are looking to rekindle that long relationship. Ring of Honor may be in the strongest position they’ve ever been in its 20 years. It’s the perfect time to take the training wheels off,”
Khan continued on, detailing how he has created a familiarity around the brand following it’s presence on AEW television this year.
He added:
“We’ve created a lot of familiarity with the brand. It’s also beneficial to both brands.
“For example, I had earmarked Claudio [Castagnoli] to be a top star for Ring of Honor, but when we had this mess of injuries back in June before Forbidden Door, he came to AEW. It really helped us and came in to debut with Ring of Honor.
“He ended up coming out a month earlier and cutting his vacation short. An example having the two companies benefited us.”
Claudio became a two-time ROH World Champion when he defeated Chris Jericho for the title at ROH Final Battle earlier this month.
