Chris Jericho Has No Doubt There Will Be A Bigger Platform For Ring Of Honor At Some Point

Chris Jericho is very optimistic about Ring Of Honor’s future.

Jericho, the current ROH World Champion, spoke with Scott Fishman for TV Insider about the state of the brand. Jericho says Tony Khan has a few offers on the table for the brand right now and he remains confident that Khan will land a streaming deal for ROH.

"I think the fact Tony Khan put the title on me again is because Chris Jericho as the Ring of Honor World Champion, streaming platforms might pay more attention to it. I know Tony is working on that and has a couple of offers. [I’m not sure] if they are offers he wants. I think he wants to try and expand those offers. I'm a thousand percent sure that he will continue to work to get a streaming deal because when he sets his mind on something, he usually makes it happen. He has invested fully in the Ring of Honor brand and product. I have no doubt there will be a bigger platform for Ring of Honor at some point."

Chris Jericho on the state of AEW

Jericho was also asked to describe the state of AEW overall in 2025. He noted how the promotion running smaller venues has enhanced the crowds. He also acknowledged criticism over AEW "only" selling 10,000 tickets for this summer’s All In at Globe Life Field in Texas. Jericho knows they’ll sell more as the event gets closer, and he’s very happy with AEW’s position right now.

"I think we've done a good job reconfiguring the buildings the last few weeks. I feel the crowds have been much hotter in these smaller buildings. Listen, I don't think it matters how big the venue is. It matters how hot the crowd is. We saw the Hammerstein Ballroom had an amazing look. A great energy. The same thing happened the last few weeks in Charlotte and Athens, Georgia. There is so much importance on television revenue in this day and age with AEW getting its new deal with Warner Brothers Discovery.

"That's nothing but pure success and pure profit. There might be some naysayers that may want to predict the doom of AEW because of smaller buildings, but it's smart business. I think the product is much hotter now because the crowds are hotter. It's all indicative. We're excited to go to Australia for show there. We're excited for Texas in July [for All In], which is seven months away. There are people saying, "Well, they only sold 10,000 tickets." Yeah, it's seven months away. We're going to have 25,000 people in that place. People buy tickets during the last week nowadays. Trust me, I know from Fozzy. I think there are a lot of positives. I think our wrestling is the best in the business, I think our roster is the best in the business. There are other things we can work on, but that's any company. I'm very happy and proud of where we are right now as a company."
