AEW’s Chief Tony Khan expresses anticipation for Chris Jericho’s tenure as Ring of Honor World Champion and the potential implications it presents for ROH’s enduring future.
Last month, during an episode of AEW Dynamite, Jericho claimed the championship from Mark Briscoe, courtesy of a ladder match with the help from Big Bill.
According to recent reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ring of Honor is nearing the end of negotiations for a television broadcasting deal.
The logic behind Jericho’s victory is the boost his image as the brand’s face could bring to the table during deal discussions.
Chris Jericho had earlier secured the title in 2022, and his most recent win marks his ninth World Title possession in his wrestling career. At present, ROH is viewed solely on the HonorClub platform.
