Tony Khan addressed criticism of his booking of Ring of Honor after a fan voiced complaints on social media, with the AEW and ROH head defending the product by pointing to the quality of shows ROH has been putting on, according to Wrestling Inc and 411Mania.
The pushback comes amid ongoing scrutiny of how Khan balances his workload across AEW and ROH programming, though the specific nature of the fan criticism and the full scope of Khan’s response were not detailed beyond his defense of ROH’s recent output.
Clockwork Carnage Match Gets Tweaks Ahead of AEW World Title Defense
Separately, Khan confirmed he has made changes to the Clockwork Carnage match format that is being brought over to AEW, telling Fightful that he plans to “go over the rules extensively” before the bout takes place. The Clockwork Carnage match originates from Pro-Wrestling: EVE, and AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, who produces for EVE, was the one who pitched bringing the match type into AEW.
Ospreay’s AEW World Championship is set to be defended inside the Clockwork Carnage structure, though the exact rules, participants beyond Ospreay, and the date or event for the match were not specified in Khan’s comments. Khan’s remarks indicate the match will differ in some respects from its EVE origins once AEW presents its version.
