AEW President and Ring of Honor owner Tony Khan is hoping to see the ROH World Championship defended on AEW TV.
At last night’s Supercard of Honor XV event, Jonathan Gresham became the undisputed Ring of Honor World Champion, defeating Bandido in the main event.
During the post-show media scrum, Khan discussed future plans for an AEW-ROH collab saying:
“I would love to have Jonathan defend the title in AEW and on AEW programming, that’s definitely something that is possible. Jonathan has traveled the world and he can tell you better than anybody about his vast experience in wrestling and all the championships he’s held all over the world. I’m excited for him to defend the championship in AEW, on Dynamite, on Rampage, on lots of our great programming and also, there are a lot of great relationships we have with other companies and relationships Jonathan has with companies and they are a lot of exciting possibilities both in AEW and through the Forbidden Door.”
Gresham said he would consider it an honor to defend his Ring of Honor titles on AEW television, after previously stating that he wants to face Bryan Danielson and CM Punk.
“It would be an honor to take Ring of Honor to national television. The funny this is, my life has been somewhat of a Cinderella story. I grew up in wrestling idolizing the men and women that worked for Ring of Honor and my passion grew. It got me out of a lot of trouble and I wouldn’t be sitting next to Tony Khan right now if it wasn’t for Ring of Honor. My goal was always to be Ring of Honor World Champion, I never told anybody, but I worked night and day to get exactly where I am today. My goal along the way was to make sure that Ring of Honor lives on. I want to take the idea, the essence, the heart and soul of Ring of Honor to everybody around the world.”
