Update On ROH-NJPW Relationship

Things looked rocky for New Japan Pro Wrestling and ROH at one point, but it seems that isn’t the case anymore.

After Spring of 2019, we didn’t see NJPW working with ROH for months after. However, the two were planned for a joint project during this year’s WrestleMania week before the pandemic started. As Fightful Select reported, there are still plans in the works.

Harold Meij’s ousting from New Japan Pro Wrestling has many wondering what that means for various partnerships the company has established. We asked about NJPW’s working relationship with ROH, as at times — specifically last year — it looked like it had ended. While we didn’t hear of specific projects, we’re told that Ring of Honor and New Japan have an open dialogue and at least tentatively plan on releasing content together. People we spoke to with in ROH are under the impression that New Japan will likely add to their working relationships when available.
