We've gotten people who are asking if Cody is leading an ROH invasion into AEW and all the Cody speculation - this is something people are cooking up on their own. Now, I will say this: the person who said, "Tony is buying it!" they gave me some info that was pretty accurate but they believe that Cody will eventually lead that as well. I mean it makes a lot of sense. It seems like...I mean you wanna follow in the footsteps of Dusty?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Hmmm, some interesting shit.

It's nice that ROH will live on.

Tony hinted they're working out a deal with HBO Max, so I'd assume ROH still would eventually be on there too.

Does the ROH library include the tapes that Cary Silkin owns?.

Does the ROH library include the tapes that Cary Silkin owns?.

All the articles I've seen say that it's the whole library from 2002 to now, so it must have been included in the deal.

[Bandit]

Yeah it includes even the HDNet shows because people were making jokes on Twitter about Tony Khan owning years of Jim Cornette's work.

Jay Lethal vs. Lee Moriarty announced for ROH Supercard of Honor

A new match featuring the return of Jay Lethal has been announced for ROH’s Supercard of Honor event.

Tony Khan announced tonight that Lethal will take on Lee Moriarity, with Matt Sydal in his corner.

“ROH Supercard of Honor. Next Friday April 1, Dallas Metroplex,” Khan wrote. “The Franchise of @ringofhonor returns as @TheLethalJay goes 1-on-1 vs @theleemoriarty, with his mentor + former ROH Tag Team Champion @MattSydal in his corner.”

Lethal left Ring of Honor when the company released all of their talent in October, signing with AEW the following month. He returned for ROH’s Final Battle event in December after the original main event of the show, Bandido vs. Jonathan Gresham, fell through after Bandido pulled out of the show due to testing positive for COVID-19.

Here is the current lineup for Supercard of Honor, which takes place April 1, 2022 at the Curtis Cullwell Center in Dallas, Texas:

Jonathan Gresham vs. Bandido in a winner takes all match to determine the ROH World Heavyweight Champion
The Briscoe Brothers vs. FTR for the ROH World Tag Team titles
Sw3rve the Realest vs. Alex Zayne
Joe Hendry, Ninja Mack also announced for the show

Those first two matches are pretty damn fine. Bandido is perfectly willing to die in the ring for your entertainment and that tag match is gonna be stiff as hell.

That's a really good line up. But I guess this means Purrazzo won't be allowed in the new ROH because Impact don't want her working for Tony Khan.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

There's an Impact show on the same night, so that's why Deonna won't be wrestling on the show. She might appear though because the Impact show isn't that far away. I doubt they would have any issue with her working for Tony.

[Bandit]

I had heard Impact doesn't like it because they're worried anybody in ROH could wind up in AEW, but maybe that's not true. But the thought was how NWA "lent" Ricky Starks, Thunder Rosa and Eddie Kingston to AEW and then they never came back.

And it would be very tempting for Tony to quickly move Deonna to AEW because she's so good and Thunder Rosa could use her as a credible heel opponent.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

With the NWA guys they weren't really getting much work at the time due to NWA not running very often, so them wanting to leave made sense. Deonna seems fairly happy in Impact. Her working in ROH & AEW occasionally would be good but with Toni Storm and possibly others like Mia Yim & Ember Moon coming in she would be better off staying at Impact for now.

Big booty aficionado Jim Ross will want her

[Dr. Zoidberg]

It is a nice butt.
