#1 Impact Wrestling could purchase Ring of Honor
As we revealed last week, Impact's parent company Anthem has bought stakes in HDNet LLC, which owns AXS TV, which has now resulted in Impact Wrestling getting a new home. This move will be a huge boost for Impact as AXS will help them get more eyeballs than they currently manage.

Apart from the switch to a new network, other speculations included a possible tie-up with NJPW in the future as NJPW is also aired on AXS TV in the USA. It was stated that Anthem will get AXS TV’s extensive library of programming, including wrestling, MMA and entertainment content.
Interestingly, the 'extensive library' also includes ROH's weekly TV archive from their HDNet shows between 2009 and 2011.
As per Wrestletalk, an inside source has stated:
“The talks are in the very beginning stage but Sinclair [Ring of Honor’s parent company] is listening and seems interested. If this was to go through I’d expect Anthem to fold ROH completely and place the entire library on the Impact Plus app. Another thing that has been thrown around would be a Split type situation where Impact and ROH are the same company but ROH will be placed on either AXS or Pursuit (more than likely AXS) as its own show and have Impact guys appear on and off
