Taven recently appeared on Interactive Wrestling Radio to discuss his match against Cody at the 16th anniversary event. In the interview, he talked about various interesting topics, one of which was whether ROH should work with Impact Wrestling. This is what he said:

"I had never really thought about it too much. Obviously, TNA had to rebuild themselves and they have bounced back. I'm really happy for them. I also have a lot of friends there. It seems like one of those things where Ring of Honor, New Japan, and CMLL have this partnership that is a triangle that's working really well worldwide. If Impact is trying to bounce back, you're going to want to be part of that. This is the first time I've really heard about it. I don't know if it would be a smart business move for Ring of Honor considering they're on this upward trend and they're doing it already without the help of another, and I know they're Canadian, but they really are another American company. To be honest, I never see that partnership fructifying. But never say never in wrestling."
