WOW returns to television with a familiar wrestling personality who also returns to the business to help revive the brand.

AJ Mendez will be executive producer and color commentator for WOW – Women of Wrestling when it returns to syndicated television in September 2022 on ViacomCBS stations in the United States.

Mendez hasn’t been involved in professional wrestling since retiring from WWE in 2015, but she has shaped a new career as a writer, comic book writer, and mental health advocate.

WOW announced their relaunch with a press release and press conference on Wednesday. WOW and Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, original creator of WOW and GLOW and business partner of Buss, David McClane, Mendez, Tessa Blanchard and The Beast were all on the bail. A trailer for the new season of WOW may be seen here.

WOW last produced content in 2019. A series of recordings in 2018 and 2019 produced a season of WOW Superheroes that aired on AXS TV. When Impact’s parent company, Anthem, purchased AXS, it marked the end of the partnership between WOW and AXS.

WOW started out as a successor to GLOW and operated in syndication during the boom in pro wrestling in 2000 and 2001. It was dark for over a decade, then relaunched in 2012. Since then, it has produced sporadically content on various platforms.

The WOW version trumpets the ViacomCBS agreement as the largest distribution platform in the company’s existence.

Past seasons of WOW will be available on CW Seed and Pluto TV channels from December 2021 ahead of the relaunch, according to Entertainment Tonight.

Danni, Alex Gracia, Briana Montez, Kate Smith and Imo Akpan were other talents mentioned in the WOW press release.
