Ring of Honor just infiormed staff and talents that after the 12/11 Final Battle PPV, the promotion will be taking a hiatus in order to make changes to the company's business operations going forward. There will be no live events until at least April 2022, with the promotion focusing on returning with Supercard of Honor:
ROH issued the following statement to PWInsider.com:
"Throughout the pandemic our top priority was to keep everyone healthy and safe, and despite not producing any live events over 18 months, we were able to keep everyone fully contracted. We now find ourselves at a time where we need to make changes to our business operations and are planning a pivot for Ring of Honor, with a new mission and strategy.
The year will culminate with a Final Battle in December, and we willbe taking the first quarter of 2022 to work internally to reimagine ROH. ROH has the most dedicated fans in the industry, and we appreciate their loyalty and patience as we reconceptualize ROH. We anticipate returning to live events in April for the Super Card of Honor with a new fan-focused product and provide a unique experience for wrestling fans."
The same statement is also being released via their social media channels.
PWInsider.com has learned the decision was made about a week ago.
I am slated to sit down with ROH Chief Operating Officer Joe Koff shortly to discuss what exactly this all means going forward for all aspects of Ring of Honor.
Stay tuned for more.
