On Tuesday, Ring of Honor became the latest promotion to announce a shutdown of live shows due to the threat of the coronavirus and CDC/WHO social distancing recommendations. Following MLW‘s lead and NWA‘s shutdown on Monday, ROH announced they will be cancelling all live events, including WrestleMania Week‘s Supercard of Honor, through the end of May, with plans to continue airing weekly content as well as adding additional historic content to Honor Club.
ROH’s full statement is below:
Dear ROH Family,
Pursuant to the latest updates regarding Covid-19, known as the Coronavirus, and in strong consideration of the government’s mandate limiting large gatherings for the next 8 weeks, we are CANCELLING all ROH LIVE events through May 31st, 2020. We appreciate your understanding through these difficult times as we come together as a planet to do our part in slowing and helping stop the spread of this virus. We encourage all fans to avoid large crowds, practice social distancing, and adhere to the continuously updated guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Tickets purchased for all events will be refunded at the earliest possibility. In most cases, refunds should appear within 3-7 business days, but please allow for potential delays due to volume at our ticketing partners and possible delays in processing at various banks. As the pandemic progresses, ROH will continue to provide timely updates related to live touring plans.
For existing HonorClub members, we thank you for your loyalty and we know you subscribed so you can watch ROH events LIVE as they happen. Don’t worry, we got you covered!
