The founder and president of All Elite Wrestling, Tony Khanadvanced about a year ago The possibility of relaunching ring of honor as AEW: Roh:
«I recognize that AEW is at the top of professional wrestling. The ROH brand could benefit even more about this association. I do not think it is a crazy or sacrilegious. I don't think that is crazy or something bad; I think it would be good for everyone. People would see more the connection between promotions and what we are looking for. It is not at all crazy to think that Ring of Honor could be televised in the Warner Brothers Discovery family. Would Ring of Honor have much more value as AEW Ring of Honor? Yes, probably. I think I have come to that conclusion regarding the presentation. That could mean a more cohesive integration of promotion in the fabric of what we are already doing, but in a way that would not affect things«.

► Could AEW be born: Ring of Honor?
More recently, during an interview with Panel, The manager pronounced again:
«I still think there is a great opportunity to develop Roh. We have really done a lot of work to develop it. They are unique companies, structurally. I think that makes a lot of sense, and I still think that has merit, but there are also many reasons why I have positioned Roh the way I have done it. Ring of Honor, I still think we have the opportunity to take advantage of great opportunities.
AEW has achieved huge television rights agreements that have changed the panorama for all wrestling companies, including Roh, and any agreement we make, it has to make a lot of sense for all those involved, including us in Roh and also AEW. So that is something I have considered … For now, I think we have done a great job by positioning the company as leaders, with prominent champions such as Athena and Bandit«.
