In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/2021\/8\/16\/22624123\/maria-kanellis-video-ring-of-honor-roh-aew-nwa-empowerrr-wwe-wrestling-news\">Cageside Seats&#8217;s Shakiel Mahjouri<\/a>, Kanellis spoke on the subject, saying that there wasn&#8217;t any agreement between the two companies at the present time, but that one isn&#8217;t entirely off the table either.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not at the moment right now,\u201d Kanellis said. &#8220;But that\u2019s not to say that it can\u2019t happen. I recently had a conversation with Thunder Rosa. I was trying to bring her in for the tournament. It didn\u2019t work out just because of everything that she\u2019s doing right now. But we have been having conversations with NWA. As soon as we have a champion, I think we\u2019re going to move forward with some stuff there. Impact, of course, is an option. Deonna Purrazzo used to be with Ring of Honor. We have Chelsea [Green] now and Chelsea is kind of doing both. So as much as I hate calling it the Forbidden Door \u2014 because as a woman this is the wrong name for it [she laughs] \u2014 options are open. We\u2019ll put it that way. More opportunities, equal more opportunities. That\u2019s my thought process on it. If we can have wrestlers that not only work for us but work for several other companies, that\u2019s more exposure for Ring of Honor. For me, that\u2019s across the board with all of our talent. I hope, male or female, they can make as big of a name for themselves as they can, no matter what that show is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kanellis also commented on her status for the NWA all-women&#8217;s Empower show saying, &#8220;You never know,\u201d Kanellis said. &#8220;But I will have to say once we have a champ and kind of solidified our women\u2019s division \u2014 because we\u2019re just we\u2019re just re-upping this \u2014 we\u2019ll have a lot more options after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kanellis is a former WWE star and currently managing ROH&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Championship Tournament.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/08\/05\/championship-match-set-for-roh-glory-by-honor-night-two\/\">Championship match set for ROH Glory By Honor night two<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3213538238\"><div id=\"pwtor-3596416466\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>With the forbidden doors open for AEW, Impact Wrestling, and New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor&#8217;s Maria Kanellis discussed the possibility of ROH opening its doors to potential talent swaps with AEW as well. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/08\/17\/maria-kanellis-comments-on-whether-or-not-a-working-relationship-between-roh-and-aew-is-possible\/\" title=\"Maria Kanellis comments on whether or not a working relationship between ROH and AEW is possible\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":124561,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6163,2,5],"tags":[6121,954,166,167],"class_list":["post-125090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-news","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_roh","tag-aew","tag-maria-kanellis","tag-ring-of-honor","tag-roh"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2021\/08\/KanellisMaria_3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125090"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":125091,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125090\/revisions\/125091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
