Reason Why IMPACT Wrestling Didn’t Immediately Air On AXS TV
Last week it was confirmed that IMPACT Wrestling will begin airing on AXS TV starting after Bound For Glory, which takes place on Oct. 20 in Chicago.
This comes after Anthem Sports & Entertainment acquired AXS TV.
PWinsider.com reports that the reason why IMPACT didn’t immediately shift over to AXS TV is due to them finishing commitments to the Pursuit Channel.
