Impact Wrestling Rumor Roundup: Misused former RAW Superstar's in-ring debut confirmed, Former Intercontinental Champion upset with WWE - 14th September 2019

#2 Possible partnership between Impact and NJPW

With Impact joining AXS TV which is the home of NJPW in the US, there is high speculation that both the companies may enter into some kind of a partnership soon. There is also a belief that Impact would want NJPW to replace their ongoing arrangement with ROH and replace them with Impact.

Here is what Anthem Wrestling President Ed Nordholm had to say on the matter:

“Anthem has been public that it has not made any decisions regarding current programming. We have been long-time broadcast partners with TV Asahi for NJPW at Fight Network and hope to build on that relationship. We are in the middle of a season with WOW and about to tape another series of episodes next week, so no reason to make any decisions there in the short term. We’re looking forward to getting to know them better.”

It would be wise for ROH, Impact, and NJPW to join hands as the wrestling world is undergoing some tumultuous times with the arrival of AEW and expansion plans of WWE underway.
