Took a step,
Lost a bet.
They cut out my tongue now I’m full of regret.

•Closing Commentary

ROH in 2019 has been a roller coaster ride, to say the least. It feels like the promotion has lost about 75% of their once vibrant and passionate fan base. Will ROH make the necessary moves in 2020 to gain a portion of that audience back? Will they try to make new fans who will undoubtedly become disillusioned with WWE programming?

Will WWE buy the company in 2020 for the tape library and to use ROH as a proving ground for talent a la NXT a few years ago?

Will Sinclair decide to stop losing money on a wrestling company and shut ROH down?

One or none of these things could happen in 2020, but one thing that is for sure: ROH will be a rollercoaster for the foreseeable future.
