I was facetious before, but thr knock-on effect will be interesting. Wrestling is more important to the channel now. New Japan also airs there, so it’s important to Anthem that New Japan establishes itself more in North America. But New Japan is all about loyalty and they work with ROH, so...

Is there now a pissing contest to see who can buy it first? AXS could merge it and Impact together, strengthen their rosters and get a pretty cute working relationship with New Japan and CMLL. Vince could use some content for the Network, plus I’m sure Triple H will find places for everyone between EVOLVE and NXT. This strengthens their presence and can push EVOLVE up to be the new developmental. If they don’t dick around CMLL and let Bandido, Rush and Dragon Lee work there, Trips could snag Okada for a Takeover. Take that, AEW. Tony Khan probably wasn’t interested, but while he’s trying to establish a firm footing, he probably doesn’t want New Japan working with Vince or even AXS Wrestling or whatever it is rebranded to.

Or maybe nothing changes and TNA just keeps on being shit.
