I'm pretty surprised by that. I wonder what the plan is now besides having their library.
ROH could become a developmental brand of sorts. They have no wrestlers left under contract which allows Tony to shift some of his talent to that roster. Can still bring in and use some of the key ROH talent as well for the ROH brand.
The tape library will help with landing a streaming deal.
They should sign Regal and Joe and put them in top behind the scenes positions for the ROH brand.

Ya been seeing the Regal stuff, that would be great.
Met him like 10+ years ago as well. He was doing a signing in St. Louis before a PPV. Was at a Hot Topic store in a local mall. Just a down to earth, regular dude.
Caught some of Smackdown earlier. They keep saying this is "the biggest Wrestlemania in WWE history!".....but they say that every year.....BUT, are they merging the belts to have ONE champion again? I've always hated having a "WWE Champion" and a "Universal Champion". There should be ONE top guy. I sure hope so.

Only problem with that is that they have too big of a roster still to have only one champ.
Chris Jericho was the perfect first champion for AEW. He did a hell of a job with his "Le Champion" gimmick. His match with Eddie Kingston could be one of the show stealers of Revolution.
This PPV could be spectacular.
Hangman vs. Cole could be a hell of a main event. Hangman is lethal these days in big matchs situation and Cole was always great in the TakeOver Main Events. And Kenny Omega could play a role in this match.
Obviously CM Punk vs. MJF is gonna be fire. CM Punk is just amazing since he came back. I really think he has the run of his life. MJF is the perfect villain. Everything in this feud from the promos, the in ring, the references, the callbacks has been top notch. Please no double turn because it would make no sense with the story told. The story is essentially CM Punk facing his younger self and having to repent for his past sins.
Danielson vs. Moxley had a great build too. Hopefully Tony Khan will listen to the crowd and start this Danielson/Mox AEW Cobra Kai dojo.
Thunder Rosa has to win against Britt Baker. I know that AEW will be in San Antonio in ten days but come one, now is the time. No overbooking please.
As for Tony Khan buying ROH, I was honestly a little bit disappointed at first by the announce. I thought Khan was gonna announced a supershow with NJPW or the purchase of ROH coinciding with a deal with HBO Max. I think you can´ t really re-start ROH even as a development brand. But and that´s the good part, it seems that for the Insiders, the deal with HBO Max is just a matter of times. So yes the ROH library brings ton of value for Tony Khan. I guess Khan didn´t want to announce the deal with HBO Max before Revolution because people would probably be confused as to where buy the PPV. After Revolution and before Double or Nothing seems to be the perfect time to make the big announcement.

I like the idea ofa raw belt and smackdown belt. Then a world title belt that travels between brands. It can and should change hands frequently, as the wrestler fights more.
You can occasionally make it be double work nights as well.

I don't think they have to do the Mox/Danielson pairing, we could get a swerve with someone else stepping into Moxley's role (Claudio, Punk, Joe etc).
I would bet both are also heavily involved in the storyline here and where it goes.
I think this faction would work specially because it´s Mox and Bryan. They ´re essentially the opposite of eachother but they both live for violence.
There´s really the possibility to have a cool story with them teaching Lee Moriarty, Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta.
Mox is Johnny Lawrence, a no-nonsense badass guy and Bryan is Daniel Larusso, a passive agressive genius fighter. It works perfectly and since Martin Kove came to Dynamite last month, clearly there´ s someone in AEW that knows Cobra Kai and it´ s probably geek master Tony Khan.^^
Besides at some point you could see Danielson finally winning the AEW title with the help of this faction. And then down the line, Mox could be the first two times AEW champion by beating Bryan.

Kris Statlander vs. Leyla Hirsch
Here are my picks.
Hangman retains, I would love Adam Cole to win, but I can see two things happening, 1. Page wins clean, Kenny returns, so we get Page/Omega again, or 2. Kenny returns, and screws Cole over, maybe due to him bringing in reDragon.
Thunder Rosa wins
Jurassic Express
Jade Cargill
Punk
Darby, Sting, & Guevara
Moxley
Kingston
Hook
House of Black
Hirsch
