Tony Khan buying ROH, I wouldn't be surprised if he uses ROH as his developmental company for those not ready for prime time. Nothing official but it sounds like that's exactly what he's going to use it for. That plus getting the entire video library to use as part of a streaming deal.

Now this leads me to believe Cody and Brandi show up as the main bookers/stars over anything else, if their plans still include wrestling. Not the same as declaring their exits were a work, but a way to better exercise their vision. Unload some hand-picked talent over to a ROH locker room. Make himself a champeen again. Et cetera.

Now that is smart. I like the idea. Plus it kind of is the "see you would've missed me" Cody may want to see.

Concerning Cody Rhodes: I am now in the "its all a work" camp. Unless he actually goes to WWE, where is he going to go now? Japan is closed because of the pandemic. (Unless he wants to go hang out with the midcarders and jobbers on Strong.) Impact? Due some weird legacy s*!t with the NWA? But wouldn't it be cool if at the upcoming Supercard, or the first RoH show that is truly under AEW management, Rhodes just shows up?

I just hope this ends up with me being able to watch all of the ROH library, AEW's first couple years and all future AEW ppvs on HBO Max or another streaming service. If we get some type of NXT level wrestling with AEW's not ready for tv guys out of this,that's just a added bonus.

Sinclair really did nothing with ROH since the Elite left in late 2018 and they obviously weren't going to put any money to it so it's for the best that Tony Khan now owns it. I think Impact needs to do something similar, either put money into it or fold up as their audience is neither here nor there at this point.

There is part of me that is afraid WWE is going to try and buy Impact now, just to show AEW and TK "Hey look!! We can do that to! And done it BEFORE!!!" Also, so they can get a complete lock on pre/outside footage of AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley, Drew Mcintyre, etc. Because other people have pointed out that if Vince wants old footage of wrestlers like Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Kevin Owens, he now has to deal with TK and AEW.

So we know there's going to be a weekly show. That will necessitate contracts of some variety. Some of the old crew is signed with impact, some inevitably won't get invited back.
Who ya got joining aboard? I'm thinking Zayne and Blake Christian as two of the main stars.
I'm hoping Joe Hendry gets an invite to return.

Who ya got joining aboard? AEW has been on a ridiculous hiring spree over the last year. Signing all of these high profile talents. Granted, that is part of the business. Get them before anyone else. But, I also wonder if the buying of RoH is another answer to the hiring spree. TK knew that he would soon need the personnel to run 2 brands. And if that is the case, I don't really see a lot of recent RoH people being asked back. AEW already has enough people already under contract to fill time. Plus with Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Christopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, Kyle O'Reily, Young Bucks, the list can get longer: TK has enough RoH legacy talent to legitimize the brand under him. He doesn't really need the Briscoes, Hendry, etc.

But I freaking love Joe Hendry so I'm going to keep putting that out there in high hopes it comes to fruition! I'd kill for a Joe Hendry entrance followed by an Acclaimed rap coming back! That said he will want some guys who are only ROH, and on the AEW side that would be more the developmental guys. I don't expect the main players to show up very often if ever. But the Bear Country's, Sonny Kiss', etc I think will all kind of get 'converted' over to ROH contracts.

Bought a Supercard of Honor ticket. Hoping Alex Zayne gets heavily featured from this point forward. Good dude and talented as hell.
FTR in my opinion is the best tag team going as far as ring work so I’m really looking forward to the Briscoes match. I hope to see blood.
Very excited.

So right now I'm at
Bandido vs. Gresham to re-unify the titles. -- I'm calling it Gresham takes this and then Bandido joins the AEW roster. They need more Lucha's and ROH needs Gresham. Briscoes vs. FTR for the ROH titles. -- FTR wins this one, but eventually the Briscoes will even it up and take the titles back. FTR needs to get some winning going. Swerve vs. Sauce God Zayne -- Zayne takes this one. Swerve losing has no effect on his AEW ranking, and the sauce god will be a major deal in ROH going forward. Lethal vs. Moriarty -- Lethal takes it. Doesn't really benefit either and this is just a straight up AEW roster match, but hey, Lethal represents ROH, and it may give a clue to Lethal's new character direction in AEW. Woods vs. Yuta for the Pure rules title. Woods takes this one. Yuta is going to go on a tear in AEW soon and make his way into the Blackpool Combat Club over time, but this isn't the place for him. I expect Woods to be on an actual ROH contract, so this one makes sense.
Khan is trying to workout what to do with Deonna since she's supposed to also wrestle on Impact same day, and it was advertised as a two title pick your challenge match before he bought ROH. I think they'll figure something out, but I don't know what the heck they're going to do here. I expect Khan has a decent # of women signed already, and wanted the largest name to take the title off Deonna this night. What I think they could do: Have that person lose to Deonna here, then come back and beat her a few hours later on impact. Yeah it sucks its not on his own PPV, but hey, it's a cool solution to the problem. My pick for the top women's star in ROH going forward that does this? Marina. Shafir. I think her, Diamante, Hogan, and Skye Blue will be the top 4 women in ROH going forward until TK is ready to put them on AEW tv with real pushes.
I expect we'll get a second women's match on this card, but no more than 2.
I'm hyped to see how this turns out, and I'm really excited to see who all shows up.
