The ROH creative team is currently lead by Delirious (Hunter Johnston). Other members of the creative team include Bully Ray, Joey Mercury, Todd Sinclair, and Kevin Eck. There have been rumors that Delirious is losing power, but PWTorch sources have confirmed that those rumors aren’t true. The same people who have been on the creative team for a long period of time are still in place. Everyone has a voice, but one source described Delirious as the Vince McMahon of the operation.

The only change recently to the creative team was that Joey Mercury was away for several months dealing with a legal matter, but he came back to his position at the beginning of the year when that matter was resolved. According to multiple sources, everyone has a voice on the creative team and Delirious often allows people to execute ideas some of which turn out to be good and some which turn out not to be good.

One of the reasons there has been a difference in the product is the addition of former WWE Creative Team member Dave Lagana as a producer. Lagana also produces for the NWA. According to multiple sources, Lagana has been a welcome addition to Ring of Honor as a producer. He’s not a member of the creative team, but his opinion is valued. The biggest thing that Lagana has brought to the table is being an extra body to the team capable of producing videos that execute Delirious’s vision. Lagana began producing videos for ROH in September of 2018, but began doing it full time in January.
