So Much For THAT TV Deal, LOL. RING WARRIORS WILL NOT AIR ON WGN AMERICA THIS WEEKEND, SERIES SHIFTING TO AMAZON PRIME

Ring Warriors, which has been airing on WGN America the last several months in a morning slot as paid programming, will not be airing this weekend on the national cable network.   Whether the series will be returning there is unknown at this juncture.
Instead, the promotion has announced that it will be airing on Amazon Prime going forward as free programming for paid Prime members with a "Winter Season" finale debuting next Saturday 12/22.
The promotion's press release reads:
Ring Warriors to be available on Amazon Prime; Winter Season finale available December 22nd

Ring Warriors Productions announced today that the Ring Warriors professional wrestling series will be available on Amazon Prime starting on Saturday, December 22nd.

Amazon Prime, which has 95 million U.S. based subscribers according to Statista.com, produces such original hit programs as “Bosch,” “The Man in the High Castle” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” among many others. All Amazon Prime subscribers will be able to watch Ring Warriors for free.

“Having ‘Ring Warriors’ available on Amazon Prime is a great opportunity for our fans and organization,” said Executive Producer Howard Lipkint. “Along with our current broadcast partner WGN America, this will certainly broaden our fan base and provide wrestling fans with an alternative means of viewing our exciting, industry leading program.”

Lipkint said the success Ring Warriors has achieved in its initial season on WGN America has been overwhelming. “Wrestling fans have been looking for an alternative to the current direction within the wrestling industry and now they have found it,” he said. “In the coming weeks and leading into the new year, we will be announcing new alliances, venues, talent and many more exciting elements that will be targeted to the professional wrestling fan base and beyond.”

As Ring Warriors heads into a brief end-of-the-year hiatus, a special holiday bonus is being made available exclusively for Amazon Prime members – the Ring Warriors winter season finale will be available on Amazon Prime starting on Saturday, December 22nd. In the weeks that follow, previously aired episodes will also be made available.

About the Winter Season Finale

After weeks of mounting tension, the season finale culminates with a Fatal Four-way Match in which the current Grand Champion Jeff Cobb defends his title against “The Southern Stomper” Luke Hawx, “The Undeniable Kavorka” Eli Drake and the man who has been handpicked by Austin Aries to be the heir apparent, Killer Kross.

Additional matches include: “The Wildcard” J Spade versus Wes Brisco; one half of Allison Danger’s Danger Incorporated tag team, Desi Derata, against Heather Monroe in a ladies rematch; and the 6-foot 4-inch 240-pound “Outlaw” Matt Lancie facing the 6-foot 8-inch 265-pound “American Psycho” Lance Archer.

“The Business” Alexander Hammerstone joins play-by-play announcer Blake Chadwick to call the action.

Global Genesis Group is Executive Producing the series and is the worldwide distributor for Ring Warriors. They are also the aggregators that are placing Ring Warriors on Amazon Prime.
