Destination America has announced a new television deal with Ring of Honor, revealing plans to air a weekly show starting June 3rd at 8pm ET.
This is the same day TNA’s Impact Wrestling is scheduled to make its move to Wednesdays, which means it will directly follow ROH’s inaugural airing.
This follows rumors that indicate Destination America may cancel Impact Wrestling and leave TNA without a television deal come September.
The ROH announcement was made via Twitter to the surprise of many, including TNA talent themselves:

At no time was TNA talent (that I'm aware of) notified of ROH airing on @DestAmerica . I'll refrain from commenting until after "the call".

Ring of Honor does not currently have an active women’s division, but this deal may result in an uptick in female competition. Current female roster members include Maria Kanellis and Mandy Leon.
