When asked to further elaborate on his criteria for Ring of Honor to potentially onboard to a bigger stage, Khan noted that he is considering a combination of components.

“It’s not any one factor,” he said. “It’s got to be the right fit. To me, it’s got to be the right media partner, but also the money has to be right. And it’s got to be the combination of the two things. There’s times where we had great media offers and there’s times where we’ve had offers of money. When they line up with the right media partner and the right money [I’d make the deal]. Certainly when you get a deal like we’ve got with TBS and TNT and HBO Max, that’s one of those great situations where it’s the perfect combination.”

In the current, $555-million dollar agreement between AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery, “AEW Dynamite” and “AEW Collision” continue to air on TBS and TNT, respectively, with the ability to simultaneously stream them on HBO Max made available as well. HBO Max, which has since been named as AEW’s primary pay-per-view partner, also allows subscribers to purchase and stream AEW PPVs at a discounted rate.

Final Battle, ROH’s next pay-per-view event, will emanate from Columbus, Ohio later tonight. Matches include the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament finals between Deonna Purrazzo and Billie Starkz, ROH Women’s Television Champion Mercedes Mone vs. Red Velvet, and ROH World Champion Bandido defending his title in a Survival of the Fittest match. The latest episode of “ROH on HonorClub,” aired Thursday night, notably saw Queen Aminata forfeit her spot in the semi-finals of the Women’s Pure Title tournament.
