In March 2022, AEW President Tony Khan acquired Ring of Honor (ROH) from Sinclair Broadcast Group, just three years after starting AEW from scratch.
In a recent Bex & Buster podcast interview, Khan expressed his interest in owning and managing more than two wrestling promotions. He stated that he would want to maintain separate rosters if he owned another wrestling company besides AEW and ROH. Khan has previously indicated that he would be interested in being involved in WWE‘s potential sale.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Tony Khan on what he would do if he owned another wrestling promotion: “If I owned another wrestling company besides the two I already own, it would be very challenging, but I think we would want to maintain separate rosters just like I’ve tried to keep AEW and Ring of Honor to where there is crossover between the companies, but both have a strong pay-per-view business and AEW has great television. Soon, I’ll have more to talk about regarding when and where”
On wanting to keep the rosters and PPV’s separate: “Ring of Honor’s weekly TV will be on HonorClub and, going forward, when and where we’re going to tape those shows. There is some example of what we would do as far as keeping the pay-per-view business separate, but having some crossover. It would certainly be different if it were a different company. With AEW and Ring of Honor, I’m very happy with what we’re doing. Certainly, if there were other opportunities that arose in terms of acquisitions then I would certainly be interested in (them).”
