Alright folks, I'm going to be out of town at a wedding this weekend, so I won't be able to actually watch the show until Monday or Tuesday, but I did want to make sure to get this out before I left.

May the best NTer win!
Posting for later. Will put in op and thread title. Thank you for your contribution to this thread.
 
Kevin Kelly on Anthem dropping NJPW's AXS Show: "It just came down to dollars and cents, that's all it was"

From this WrestleKingdom preview podcast: ttps://redcircle.com/shows/cf1d4e82-ac3d-47e6-948d-1d299cf6744e/episodes/d7039a6b-85e0-46f9-8883-b9754bfb8423
The relevant quotes are at 2:30:50; Anthem had an option to renew the show for 2020 but didn't want to continue paying the same amount of rights fees that AXS was previously paying without forging a closer relationship.
"If you think about it, why should they? They own Impact. Why would they pay for another wrestling show to be on their network? It just came down to dollars and cents, that's all it was."
Also for those who think NJPW will land another US TV deal soon, Kelly says:
"There's nothing on the horizon"
