According to
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Impact Wrestling is trying to open the doors to work with ROH. There were talks of the two sides working together many months ago, and a deal was worked out for the Hardys vs. Young Bucks to do a lengthy program and both companies would work together. But the Hardys left Impact and then Impact sent out a legal letter after the Hardys had left, this caused Dish Network to pull the PPV show with the Hardys vs. Young Bucks at the last minute.
Sonjay Dutt, who works in Impact creative, has a long-time connection with Hunter Johnston who books ROH.
