ROH TV IS BACK: Spoilers for February 25, 2023 tapings

February 26, 2023 44 2

After going off the air for the final time on April 15, 2022, Ring of Honor Wrestling has lingered on the minds of loyal ROH fans as to when it would return to their screens.

Production and taping for the revived show under the Tony Khan era started Saturday at Universal Studios in Orlando. The facility will serve as a regular home for ROH’s television programming going forward, or at least until they feel like starting a touring schedule, returning to their home base occasionally.

While ROH awaiting a broadcast deal, Ring of Honor Wrestling returns on Thursday, March 2, airing on the relaunched HonorClub streaming platform, which is also available on FITE.
