#3 Preventing ROH from using Madison Square Garden
As mentioned earlier, WWE just can't tolerate any other promotion hosting an event in the Madison Square Garden. And Ring of Honor learned it the hard way.
The Baltimore-based promotion had been planning to host an event in the hallowed Madison Square Garden in 2019. Furthermore, reports surfaced that they planned to conduct the show during the WrestleMania weekend.
This irked WWE a lot. They held talks with the Madison Square Garden authorities to ensure ROH don't get the platform they were craving.
Chief Operating Officer for Ring of Honor - Joe Koff had spoken to PWI’s Mike Johnson and said the following (H/T: Sescoops)
"We had a deal with (the) 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 for is that we can find resolution, and we can bring the kind of energy and excitement that ROH and our partner New Japan brings to a bigger audience and to bigger arenas to the fans of New York City.”
