Partial Source: Pwinsider.com

UPDATE x 2: Here are more details on the Briscoes staying with ROH. The feeling is that they signed with the company a few weeks back. WWE sources have confirmed the brothers were made a “top flight NXT level offer”.

The brothers have an investment in ROH, as they have been there since “day one” and have helped to build the company. But the other thing is that they have the family farm and businesses to run in Delaware. With both being married with kids (Jay has three, Mark has three and a fourth on the way) the feeling is that they did not want to uproot their lives to more to Florida for a NXT deal.

There were rumors that Jay Briscoe was offered the ROH booking position in an attempt to get The Briscoes to stay, and that those rumors are not true.

Briscoes Stay Home in ROH – Sign new 2 Year Contract!

The Briscoe Brothers have been with Ring of Honor “since day one,” and now, ROH can confirm that #Demboys are here to stay!

Jay and Mark have nearly thirty years of combined experience between the ropes , have traveled the world, and have earned many championships along the way. Jay Briscoe is in the midst of an incredible second run as World Champion, a feat accomplished by only two men in the entire history of ROH, and together, the Briscoes hold the record for ROH Tag Team Championships with eight amazing reigns.

The Briscoes built their legacies in Ring of Honor and for Dem Boys from Sandy Fork, there’s no place like home…and no place like Ring of Honor.

UPDATE: ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe and his brother Mark have been in negotiations with with both ROH and WWE for some time now and it’s now looking like they’ll will be staying in Ring of Honor.

The Briscoes recently received offers from both companies and were giving strong consideration to jumping to WWE/NXT. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Ring of Honor recently increased their offer – which led to the Briscoes contacting WWE again to see if they’d match it. WWE was reportedly not going to budge from their initial offer.

Another factor in their decision is that the Briscoes run farming businesses based out of Delaware, which they’re able to do since they only work 5-6 ROH dates per month. Signing with WWE would only be worthwhile if they were able to make more than their current income from ROH, independent appearances and farming.
