Chris Jericho is holding down the fort as ROH World Champion, and he’s got his eyes on the bigger picture. While ROH on HonorClub just hit its 100th episode milestone, Jericho believes Tony Khan has much bigger plans for the brand’s future—and that includes locking in a major streaming deal.
Speaking with Scott Fishman of TVInsider, Jericho made it clear that Khan is actively working to take ROH beyond HonorClub, even if the right offer hasn’t come through just yet.
“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,” Jericho explained. “I know Tony is working on that and has a couple of offers. I don’t know if they are offers he wants. I think he wants to try and expand those offers.”
Jericho didn’t hesitate to put his faith in Khan’s business acumen, making it clear that a bigger platform for ROH is inevitable.
“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.”
Jericho’s last title defense saw him take down Matt Cardona at ROH Final Battle, proving that the Ocho is still putting in the work while Khan maneuvers behind the scenes.
