A report was recently picked up on-line that WWE Legend Chris Jericho & WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross were working with a major backer to launch a new pro wrestling company. Included in that report was a note that the two had already begun talks with AXS TV to secure a TV deal.
AXS TV was asked for any comments regarding their involvement in the alleged New Pro Wrestling Promotion. When reached for comment a representative from AXS TV bluntly responded, “There’s no truth to the AXS TV component.”
While there has been no confirmation yet on if Jericho and Ross are working on something, AXS TV has flatly denied any involvement on the wrestling promotion. AXS TV is currently still very committed to New Japan Pro Wrestling and, from what we are told, has big plans for the promotion in 2019. AXS TV has also just held their first set of tapings for their new Women of Wrestling Promotion this past week in Los Angeles. WOW is set to debut on AXS TV Friday January 18th, 2019. More information will be provided once it is made available.
