A booking team of Delirious, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Joey Mercury in 2019. Such a wonder why their company is trash.

Exclusive: Shakeup Happening In Ring Of Honor Offices?

WWE has a Superstar Shakeup this week, but there could be a shakeup happening in Ring of Honor's offices as we speak.

Fightful Select reported this week that there is some angling and shuffling going on as it pertains to Ring of Honor.

Monster Factory's Danny Cage was cut from Ring of Honor after joining the company in early December. From what we're told he's still being paid by the company, and had a lot of ideas how to shift ROH and Future of Honor's production, which was met with heavy resistance. As for the split, we're told that ROH is still planning an event at Monster Factory this Spring, and Cage is on good terms with Delirious. Joey Mercury is taking over his role.

Speaking of Joey Mercury, Fightful reported this week that he was instrumental in getting Sons of Savagery signed by the company, and has pushed for Maria Manic to come in as well. All of which are alumni from MCW, where he's served as a trainer.

Mercury and Bully Ray are said to be gaining influence within Ring of Honor, while Delirious' (Hunter Johnston) creative input has decreased. Those that we spoke to expected this to accelerate as time moves on. It could be seen with Enzo and Cass, as well as Velvet Sky and Angelina Love being brought in. There were a few names on the NJPW side of things who told us they had no idea Enzo and Cass would be on the show at G1 Supercard.

Those we spoke to in ROH say that there was some heat on any number of people who made the All In deal a reality, as the company ended up helping give crash courses to their upcoming competition for talent.

Delirious finally getting shyt canned but Bully Ray, with ideas such as Enzo & Cass coming in, taking over is something

Also funny that people are catching heat over All In when they could have just said no right from the jump & it doesn't happen due to the ROH contracts. Only reason they probably even agreed anyway was to keep those dudes happy since their deals were coming up & they got played right into losing their top guys, producing the show, & letting those dudes have a free test run.

Yeah, seriously. The minute that the show sold put completely with no card, or confirmed talent other than the bullet club guys, I would've told them they're on their own for production. Looking back at it now, it's pretty obvious that they were using it as a test run to gauge interest.

I wonder what AEW is going to do for a production team (from producers down to camera crew) since ROH let them use theirs for All In, but surely they're on their own going forward.

Meltzer: Enzo & Cass/ROH update

Enzo & Cass were not at either ROH show this weekend, nor are they booked on anything announced going forward. They have been given no future dates and right now are not factored into anything. There were key people very upset with that segment internally and as noted before, internal divisiveness whether to do it and it brought negative attention in terms of reaction. The idea of why was explained last week, but not everyone bought that. The original idea was to do a very quick bit that would take place in the corner by the guard rails. Enzo was to grab Mark Briscoe and Mark was to shove Enzo and that would be it. It would be so quick so as not to sound the alarms.

People on TV may or may not see it, but people would hear about it. I guess the idea, since Enzo did interrupt a WWE show legit, was to play off that. Security was to then take Enzo away to make it look real. The idea is that if there was a buzz, maybe they’d follow up, but if nobody cared, it was so short that people would just assume it was real. It got out of control and right now there are no plans to bring them back, but there are also different people with different viewpoints involved with creative and it’s not clear how the wind will blow.

They need to bring them in, ROH is boring & stale as fukk right now.

Lmao, they signed Enzo/Cass to big money contracts not realizing no one wanted to see them and now they're just going to pay them to stay at home?

And people talk about how stupid WWE is ran these days
