No way they would have said they were on their way to the WWE, especially when they are still under contract for a couple of months.
So, yes, they have signed a new contract.

Yeah, this had to be saying they've signed a new contract. Would make no sense for ROH to announce they're leaving two months before hand.

From ROH's Facebook Page:

The Briscoe Brothers have been with Ring of Honor "since day one," and now, ROH can confirm that the Briscoes 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.

The description of that video says that the new contract is for two years.

I wonder if the "takeover the booking clause" it´s true or not.

I'm glad they publicly announced this to end the speculation, but it's actually amazing how much bigger a signing this looks like given the thinking that they were WWE-bound. If they announced this out of the blue 3 mos ago, it would have been a minor footnote and everybody would be thinking/saying "of course they re-signed." Honestly, this rumor (and the likely truth behind it) made the Briscoes far more valuable perceptually than they'd be if it had never happened.

I was hoping they'd be on their way out, hate Jay but surprisingly like Mark. I may be in the minority.

from this week's Wrestling Observer newsletter found at- www.wrestlingobserver.com

regarding the Briscoes...

Another aspect of the offer is that they will likely be going on multiple New Japan tours, which also pay better than the WWE offer.

I was very happy to see that news! So many possibilities with The Briscoes in New Japan. Should be a lot of fun!

Meltzer uses that in every article that is about negotiations and ROH.

Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch regarding the Briscoes in Japan.

So, now that they're staying, who's gonna beat him for the belt? Before this, Jay Lethal seemed to be a lock, but I don't know anymore. Lethal would have been the obvious choice if he left that way they can transfer Briscoe's momentum to him, but having Lethal win would just be a mistake. In my opinion, having Briscoe drop the belt to O'Reilly in a surprise would be much better for a number of reasons.
1. O'Reilly is ready right now
2. A babyface has to take the belt off of him because a heel doing it would be anticlimatic (plus, there is probably going to be some interference if a heel beats him and that would just be a huge waste
3. Fish has been hinting at challenging for the belt and him losing would set-up a future match with O'Reilly. Plus, KRD and two monster heels in the form of Elgin and Moose would be excellent underdog rivalries for O'Reilly

O'Reilly isn't ready.

I still think Lethal is next to hold the World Title. I don't see anyone else who validates as one of the top guys. It's Lethal, Styles and Strong. And given the situation of Styles, and the realistic possibility ROH would put the belt on Roddy a 2nd time, I think Lethal is next.

O'Reilly as a talent/performer is absolutely ready, but he's not even close from a booking/storyline perspective. I still think Lethal is the best option. He's an exclusive contract guy (which matters) who is on the run of his life and can carry what he's done with the TV title into a World title reign. Lethal ending the streak adds to his legacy, so I think everything is still aligned for this to happen. That allows you to heat up O'Reilly and slow him to win some of these singles matches that he's been losing...or position Cole to get the title back...or whatever else they want to do. Cole can't win the belt directly from Jay IMO.

The only other viable option I can see to take the title from Jay is after Styles drops the IWGP title (likely to Okada in July) he gets a long-awaited shot...maybe at Field of Honor?...and wins it. The issues with that, of course, are his Non-contract status and the fact that it completely wastes Jays streak on a guy who gains nothing from beating it.

Lethal is still the answer for me.
