NJPW began airing on AXS back in 2014 that included English commentary from the likes of Josh Barnett & Jim Ross (as well as others) and AXS has yet to release a statement regarding the matter.
IMPACT’s owner, Anthem purchased a majority interest in AXS back in September and has been airing a weekly show every Tuesday on October 29.
Wrestlezone has reached out to AXS for comment on the matter.
