ROH's head booker, Marty Scurll, has been the subject of multiple allegations through all this. He has since released two separate statements after being accused of sexually abusing an intoxicated 16-year-old girl in his native United Kingdom in January 2015.

ROH is currently dormant as a result of the ongoing global health crisis, having not run a single show since things kicked in in March. The promotion had planned on holding empty arena TV tapings in Baltimore, Maryland next month but has now put this on hold.
