Briscoes Not Expected In AEW For Now, What Happened
Added 2022-03-11 17:22:38 +0000 UTCDon't expect to see the Briscoes in AEW, at least if word at WarnerMedia and among AEW talent is true.
Fightful has been told that as of prior to the ROH sale, The Briscoes weren't planned to be signed by All Elite Wrestling. It should be stated that we're not even sure of the interest on All Elite Wrestling's part, but if was confirmed to us by WarnerMedia sources that a person of influence in the company did not want the duo signed to AEW, specifically due to Jay Briscoe's homophobic tweets from 2013. Briscoe would apologize at the start of an ROH show the week after. Those that we heard from in ROH since have said that to their credit, they hadn't caused issues for the company since then. One AEW talent said they were made for television, but can't blame WarnerMedia or AEW.
Fightful was told that as of a month ago, there are no imminent plans for FTR and The Briscoes to have a match in ROH, AEW or anywhere else for that matter, although that was before Tony Khan purchased ROH, which could have changed things, as we're told it's not completely off the table for Supercard of Honor. Both Briscoes and FTR are open to the idea of facing each other, and multiple promoters have indicated to Fightful that they've wanted to book the match and were willing to pay significant money by indie standards to make it happen.
We aren't sure if The Briscoes will be a part of the new Ring of Honor, which is owned by Khan. They're the current ROH World Tag Team Champions, and were scheduled to wrestle on Supercard of Honor before Tony Khan's purchase. We don't have an update on where that stands now.
