On Monday, news emerged that Ring of Honor would be holding TV tapings at WJCT Studios in Jacksonville, Florida on March 1. Naturally, this led to many questions regarding whether ROH was getting a new TV deal, or if this was a sign that the promotion would be looking to tape in one location going forward, as opposed to holding tapings before or after “AEW Dynamite” and “AEW Collision.”

On Tuesday’s edition of “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer attempted to answer some of these questions, revealing that this could be the start of something new for ROH, should the tapings on March 1 go off without a hitch.

“This is an experiment,” Meltzer said. “The idea is that if it goes well, this will be where all the ROH tapings will be done, at the studio, which is right by the Jaguars office, which is where Tony Khan works from. So it’s basically a TV studio in downtown Jacksonville. And…the idea is to no longer tape the ROH shows on Wednesday or Saturday, a lot of times it’s been Saturday. 

“And I mean, that will make for…it’s easier because there’s a lot of tapings coming up that are double tapings…not all of them, but there’s a lot of tapings coming up where they’re going to tape the Wednesday and the Saturday show on Wednesday night. And that doesn’t leave any time for Ring of Honor tapings, unless you want to do…I mean, it’s already a four hour show. But that’s the idea.”

Meltzer speculated that, should March 1 be a success, ROH would do one to two tapings a month, taping three to four episodes at a time. He also speculated that AEW was looking to capture the vibe of old school studio wrestling, as done by promotions during the territory days.

After being forced to retire last month when he lost his career-threatening match to GUNTHER at the Royal Rumble, AJ Styles was given a night-long tribute last night on “WWE Raw,” which saw many of his former colleagues, rivals and teammates in attendance, including TNA’s Frankie Kazarian, who took to social media early Tuesday morning to honor “The Phenomenal One.”

“Nights like this go beyond any accolade one can achieve. Being there for my brother @AJStylesOrg on an incredibly special night, and reuniting with @ThisIsTNA brethren is something I will take with me forever. And never let it go. Thanks you to the @WWE for making this happen.”

Kazarian and Styles were originally tag team partners in the TNA faction Fortune, alongside other stars such as Robert Roode and Christopher Daniels. However, after Styles was kicked out of the group in 2012, he had several battles with Kazarian in the years that followed. In addition to Roode, Drake Maverick, Abyss, Xavier Woods, Jeremy Borash, and referee Dan Engler, who were all seen in Kazarian’s post, Styles’ former Bullet Club stablemates Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were also seen backstage. Styles also acknowledged Samoa Joe and Christopher Daniels in his final speech, both of whom work for AEW.

Additionally, “Raw” ended with Styles saying goodbye to the WWE Universe and receiving a round of applause from the roster on the entrance ramp. However, before the segment ended, The Undertaker surprisingly appeared to inform Styles that he would be the newest inductee into the 2026 WWE Hall Of Fame. 

Warner Bros. Discovery, a media partner and minority owner in AEW, has received its latest acquisition offer from Paramount Skydance. Although the board continues to maintain its endorsement of the previously announced merger with Netflix. 

Netflix announced its deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, splitting the Discovery portion – including TBS and TNT – from Warner Bros., with Discovery operating as its own company afterward, in December. However, Paramount contended that their offer was the better for the shareholders of WBD, thus ensuing a bidding war of-sorts. The WBD board has always been favorable to the announced Netflix deal, as opposed to Paramount. 

That was repeated in the latest filing from the company, with a letter from the board informing that, following negotiation with Paramount during a seven-day limited waiver period, a revised proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of WBD common stock had been submitted. 

It was noted that the proposal was being reviewed in consultation with legal and financial advisors, and shareholders will be updated when that review is complete. 

“The Netflix merger agreement remains in effect, and the Board continues to recommend in favor of the Netflix transaction,” the letter reads. “WBD shareholders are advised not to take any action at this time with respect to the amended [Paramount] tender offer.”

WBD’s transaction has come under the microscope within wrestling, largely for the fact that WBD carries AEW and Netflix carries WWE. 

AEW is shown on WBD programming through TBS and TNT, which according to the Netflix agreement would see no cross-over with the WWE programming on its streaming platform. That same agreement stated that Netflix would continue to operate MAX, which streams programming, and it’s yet unclear how and where that could effect AEW – if at all.

The injury bug/health issues have started to become a bit of a problem for WWE as they head into WrestleMania. Over the past few months, the promotion has seen stars like Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker go down with injuries, and Roxanne Perez sidelined following surgery to remove a benign mass in her back. The news got worse on Monday when Bronson Reed tore his biceps during a three way match with Jey Uso and Original El Grande Americano, forcing him out of action and forcing WWE into changing plans on the fly.

Then there’s Xavier Woods, who hasn’t been active for nearly a month since after a shoulder injury towards the end of January. Unlike the other injured WWE stars, however, Woods has a sense of when he could be back in the ring. Speaking with “WrestleZone’s” Bill Pritchard at WWE 2K26 Creator Fest, held at WWE headquarters this week, Woods gave a largely positive update on his injury situation.

“I feel ok,” Woods said. “Lifting things with my shoulder doesn’t feel ok. I kind of put it through like a meat grinder, so we’ll see how it is. Hopefully, it’s a few weeks of physical therapy, and then we’ll be back at it. But if not, I will let everybody know. But yeah, it’s alright. We’re just staying positive.”

Though Woods has missed a month or two of ring time over the last few years, he managed to avoid any major injury during that timespan. The last time Woods was forced out of action for a lengthy period of time was in October 2019, when he suffered an achilles injury. Woods would be MIA for almost a year before making his return in October 2020.
