Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that Hathaway had been pushing for a new role, which will come s the heel babyface authority figure in ROH. Meanwhile, Lynn will be the babyface of the duo. Sapp wrote that their authority is only in storyline, as Khan is fully continuing with all of his responsibilities.

Per Sapp, it’s unclear what the new role means for Hathaway’s immediate future in AEW, but The Firm was originally set to conclude with The Firm Deletion match, which aired on the May 5 episode of AEW Rampage.
