Jeff Jarrett on business differences between WWE and NJPW after TV Asahi/Ameba deal

WWE Hall of Famer and current AEW performer Jeff Jarrett weighed in on the recent sale of NJPW to TV Asahi and Ameba, highlighting how the move underscores a different business model from WWE. Jarrett pointed to the significance of TV partnerships and regional media alliances for NJPW’s growth, contrasting that with WWE’s more vertically integrated, global content and distribution strategy.

Jarrett framed the transaction as an example of how media ownership and broadcast partnerships can shape a promotion’s priorities, opportunities for talent, and long-term expansion plans. Speaking from experience across multiple companies, he suggested the deal could accelerate NJPW’s exposure in Japan while reinforcing clear differences in how major promotions approach business and media relationships.
