2. WWE was interested in purchasing ROH 

According to PW Insider, WWE was interested in purchasing ROH when the promotion announced its hiatus late last year. In December, the two parties had some talks, but that didn’t end in a deal. 

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer has also said Triple H tried to convince Vince McMahon to buy ROH in early 2018, but McMahon wanted to “buy somebody bigger“. WWE tried to buy NJPW, Stardom, NOAH and AAA, but they weren’t willing to pay the right price to make it happen. 

Tony Khan, the president of AEW, finally brought ROH. He announced this on the March 2 episode of Dynamite.

WarnerMedia has plans for the partnership to go beyond television as there have been talks of additional reality shows comprising other AEW wrestlers.

“We have an opportunity to use all facets of WarnerMedia in a way that most places can’t. We’ve got a comic book company. We’ve got video game companies. We’ve got merchandising people. We’ve got people who make animation for television. We’ve got reality television producers. It’s all in house. So we have a real opportunity to spread this IP and grow it across WarnerMedia.

4. Elias is in “creative purgatory.”

WWE has no current plans for Elias. He was recently called for main-roster. In December, it was earlier reported that Elias was spotted backstage with a clean shave and shorter hair. He never returned to television, but he is still on the roster.

“I don’t remember the last time his name came up. It’s been so long.” That being said, they aren’t even batting around ideas about Elias at this point.
