In an interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com to promote the June 29th ROH Best in the World pay-per-view, Ring Of Honor Wrestling’s Chief Operating Officer Joe Koff announced that the company have lost their debut date at Madison Square Garden after the venue held communications with WWE and that Koff is expecting lawyers to contact all parties to find a resolution.

“You know, I’m going to tell you Mike because you are asking. I’m not going to discuss beyond this statement because I am not going to litigate this in the press. We had a deal with [Madison Square] Garden and they then told us they were backing out after communications from the WWE. We are not able to get any other dates in any kind of discussion.

I’m expecting that our lawyers will be contacting all the parties involved and the best we can hope is that we can find a resolution, so we can bring the kind of energy and excitement that ROH and our partner New Japan to a bigger audience and to bigger arenas and to the fans of New York City.”

This comes several days after Sinclair Broadcast Group’s CEO Chris Ripley noted in an interview with The Baltimore Business Journal that Ring of Honor Wrestling had secured a date with the venue in 2019.
