Last month it was announced that NJPW would be leaving AXS TV and had no plans to air their events in the US this year.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there have been some preliminary talks between NJPW and Viceland for a US TV deal. 

It was noted that there were “at least opening of lines of communications.”

The belief is the negotiations are expected to take a long time because TV-Asahi owns New Japan footage rights, and the AXS/NJPW deal was between AXS and TV-Asahi.
