We’re just getting started, and we’ve got a great live show for you all, + After the live show, we’ll be filming a special ROH tribute to the late great Jay Briscoe that will soon be available for free to everyone at the Honor Club.– TonyKhan January 19, 2023

There is some speculation that the move is due to Warner Bros Discovery executives not allowing Khan to use The Briscoes on TV due to homophobic remarks a decade ago for which he has apologized several times, but there are no credible reports that is the case at this time. It could only be due to the fact that Dem Boys never showed up dynamite or frenzy Because of that, it’s more synonymous with Ring of Honor than AEW anyway.
Either way, we’ll look forward to the tribute show, relaying any information we get about what’s going on at tonight’s taping and when it will be uploaded.
