Right now, ROH is the safer option of the two since ROH is a known quantity and AEW is still in the planning stages. A year from now, its possible that might not be the case and AEW ends up being the better option in terms of future benefits and roster, especially if ROH ends up losing Bandido, Dragon Lee, and anyone else who only signed a 1 year deal there. If AEW ends up being successful early on, that could open up the valuable Chinese market for NJPW via OWE.


That's basically it. I don't think they're going to say "see ya" to ROH maliciously, and everything Jordan X said about that relationship thus far is true (way too many people on the internet don't credit Sinclair hard enough for getting that MSG date for them). That being said, if AEW is going to be much more "active" in the marketplace, especially if that television has got a lot more penetration, then in time those AEW and ROH ties might weaken if Sinclair doesn't start throwing more money in and start getting those New Japan guys the same level of exposure.
