Tony Khan spoke about two WWE Hall of Famers potentially returning to AEW television in the near future.
AEW has an excellent mix of young and experienced talent on their roster. The likes of Arn Anderson, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Tully Blanchard, Sting and Dustin Rhodes have gotten significant television time in the company.
While Tully left the company a few months back, Arn Anderson and Jake Roberts are still a part of the company. The Enforcer managed Cody Rhodes while the 2014 WWE Hall of Famer managed Lance Archer. Both veterans have been absent from AEW programming for a while now.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
During the ROH Final Battle pre-event media call, Tony Khan discussed showcasing Arn and Jake more often with ROH in the mix.
“Yeah, I would like to utilize them. I think more content, more hours, and Ring of Honor now potentially can be a part of that expansion in addition to the three hours of Dynamite and Rampage we do each week. With weekly Ring of Honor potentially coming out of Final Battle, it’s something if like you talk more about. Right now, with the three hours of TV we have, plus Dark and Elevation, and our pay-per-view events, our countdown shows, that’s the bulk of our content." (h/t: Cultaholic)
