Tony Khan has kicked off 2026 in aggressive fashion, expanding the talent pool across both AEW and Ring of Honor — and it may be a sign that bigger structural changes are coming for ROH.

Over the past several weeks, Khan has either announced or been linked to a wave of new additions, including Alec Price, Clark Connors, Jake Doyle, Jordan Oliver, Lena Kross, Mascara Dorada, Persephone, Tommaso Ciampa, The Rascalz, and The IInspiration. With the roster growing rapidly — and rumors suggesting more moves are still in the pipeline — many have questioned what this means for Ring of Honor’s long-term direction.

ROH TV Tapings Set For Jacksonville

According to Fightful Select, ROH is scheduled to hold a television taping on March 1 at WJCT Studios in Jacksonville, Florida. Talent had reportedly been informed about the taping plans in recent weeks.

There’s also internal belief that WJCT Studios could become the regular home for ROH television moving forward, though that hasn’t been officially confirmed.

If that ends up being the case, it would mark a significant shift in how ROH content is produced under Khan’s ownership.

A Break From The AEW Tapings Model

Since Khan purchased ROH in March 2022, the promotion’s TV has largely been taped alongside AEW Dynamite or AEW Collision. While there have been exceptions — such as the early ROH on HonorClub episodes taped at Universal Studios in Orlando — ROH has not had a consistent, standalone home base.

Establishing a regular venue in Jacksonville would create clearer separation between AEW and ROH programming. That distinction has been something fans and industry observers have called for, especially as ROH continues its search for a traditional television deal.

A consistent studio setup could help ROH develop its own visual identity and presentation style rather than feeling like an extension of AEW tapings.

Daily’s Place Was The Preferred Option

Interestingly, WJCT Studios reportedly wasn’t the original top choice. Daily’s Place — the amphitheater that served as AEW’s pandemic-era home — had long been speculated as a logical base of operations for ROH.

However, that option is currently off the table. Daily’s Place is undergoing renovations that are expected to last until at least 2027, making it unavailable for regular tapings.

That reality appears to have opened the door for WJCT Studios to emerge as a potential long-term solution.

What This Means For ROH’s Future

The timing of the March 1 taping, combined with Khan’s recent signing spree, suggests ROH may be gearing up for a refreshed presentation in 2026. A deeper roster, a possible permanent venue, and a more distinct production model could all be pieces of a larger strategy — especially if a television deal remains a top priority.

While nothing has been formally announced regarding a new broadcast partner, the infrastructure moves behind the scenes indicate that Khan is positioning ROH for something more stable and potentially more visible.

For a promotion that has spent the past few years searching for footing under new ownership, establishing a home base could be the clearest sign yet that ROH is preparing for its next chapter.
