WOW relaunched in 2018 after a near 18 year hiatus from television screens, airing on AXS TV in 2019, similarly to TNA. The series was canceled just a year later but it opened opportunity for them to officially return to syndication in 2021. Partnering with CBS Media Ventures, they looked to make a statement with former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee as a producer and a roster headed by the controversial Tessa Blanchard who has since departed the company, The Beast, Danni, Briana Montez, Kath Smith, Alx Gracia, and Imo Akpan. With them on nearly every television in the United States, in 2022 The New York Times reported that WOW was the highest viewed wrestling promotion outside of WWE and AEW which is a major win for women’s wrestling everywhere.
