Despite AEW not dedicating the show to Jay Briscoe, Tony Khan still filmed a ROH show in his memory
Across Jay Briscoe’s 22-year pro wrestling career, the star crossed paths with many athletes who find themselves in promotions across the world. The late star’s reach is so far that even WWE NXT nixed a planned kayfabe funeral segment in light of Briscoe’s passing.
During the same Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer confirmed that AEW filmed a one-hour ROH tribute show in Jay’s memory and plans to do more at the upcoming Supercard of Honor pay-per-view.``
Meltzer’s report has also suggested that Tony Khan is well on his way to capturing a TV deal for ROH. If his claims are accurate, fans of Jay Briscoe will get to see a bit more of the legendary star sometime soon.
