AEW just reshuffled the calendar again—this time it’s Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor 2025 getting a date switch, and now we know exactly why.
On the July 19 episode of AEW Collision, it was officially announced that ROH Death Before Dishonor will now be held on Friday, August 29, instead of the previously scheduled September 5 date. The event is still set to go down at the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, a venue deeply tied to pro wrestling history and now home to multiple AEW and ROH tapings.
While some fans speculated about production issues or logistical concerns, Dave Meltzer cleared things up in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. According to Meltzer, the change came down to one thing: Tony Khan’s personal schedule.
“The Death Before Dishonor show was moved from 9/5 to 8/29 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. Tony Khan has never missed a TV and due to a wedding he committed to, it would have been impossible for him to do the show on 9/5.”
This marks the second time the event has been rescheduled. It was initially slotted for July 11, but plans shifted after ROH Supercard of Honor was bumped to the night before AEW All In: Texas. While no matches have been confirmed for the updated card yet, fans can expect announcements soon now that the date is locked.
Whether fans view this move as justified or frustrating, it does reinforce just how hands-on Tony Khan remains with his shows—even if it means changing plans to avoid missing an event.
The date might’ve changed, but the energy’s still real. Do you think Tony Khan made the right call, or should he have let someone else run the show? Drop your thoughts in the comment section.
