Khan also teased that more information regarding the future of ROH streaming and streaming will be announced on December 10. If you want to watch Final Battle live, remember that the show will start at 4 pm ET. This start time was strategic, as Khan typically tries to avoid going head-to-head with the UFC pay-per-view shows with the AEW and ROH shows. He also said it’s an experiment to see if an earlier start time positively impacts purchase rates.
