Tony Khan held a media call on Thursday, May 14, 2026, to promote ROH Supercard of Honor.
Khan opened by saying he is excited for the show and pointed to ROH’s history of delivering strong pay-per-view events.
He also spoke about Athena’s role in ROH and AEW. Khan said both Athena and Bandido are set for the Owen Hart Cup tournament. However, he noted that both could enter the tournament as ROH champions or lose their titles at Supercard of Honor.
Khan praised Athena’s long run as ROH Women’s Champion and said ROH’s women’s division continues to produce some of the best wrestling in the company. Khan was also asked about Athena being part of the Survival of the Fittest match and whether she could lose the title without being pinned. He clarified that it is an elimination match, so Athena would have to be pinned to lose the championship.
Khan also revealed Persephone is out of the match due to injury. The winner of Hyan vs. Zayda Steel on tonight’s Supercard Showdown edition of ROH TV will take her spot.
Dave Meltzer asked Tony Khan about AEW’s relationship with Jazwares, which holds the AEW action figure licensing deal. Khan did not go into much detail, but his answer seemed to suggest there are issues without him directly saying it.
Meltzer also asked about the status of wrestlers in the Owen Hart Cup tournament. Khan said their matches are expected to take place in June, and the plan is still for the tournament finals to happen at Forbidden Door.
Khan also took a write-in question about Lacey Lane, formerly known as Kayden Carter. Khan praised her work, but kept his answer short.
Amy Nemmity asked about the women’s champions in ROH. Khan praised the champions and talked about their matches at Supercard of Honor.
