Ohio Valley Wrestling, which has run for many years out of the Davis Arena in Louisville, Kentucky may soon be shifting operations to a former University of Louisville fitness center, located at 601 Presidents Boulevard.
WDRB-TV in Louisville is reporting that OVW is in discussions to move to the University's former employee fitness center, which was shuttered to cut costs in 2019.
WDRB reports that a pre-application was filed seeking to have the property shifted from a residential building to a commercial building on 8/6, proposing that OVW use the facility as a wrestling academy with "public exhibitions" of OVW events. There would be no major change to the building itself as the plan would be to use the building as it exists.
OVW's majority owner Matt Jones told the station that they intend to move into the building but the process has not been finalized.
Ohio Valley Wrestling was founded in 1993 by "Nightmare" Danny Davis and for many years, was the predominant WWE developmental promotion, churning out Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, John Cena, Nick Dinsmore, Shelton Benjamin and many other current and former WWE talents. The Davis Arena that is currently used by the promotion was opened in 2002 and for most of the promotion's existence since that point, has been the epicenter of the company from a training and event standpoint. Davis retired in 2018, with Al Snow heading up training and operations from that point on.
The promotion has a weekly live TV series in Louisville and in recent years, has pushed hard to land TV coverage across a number of platforms and broadcast outlets, including YouToo America, Game+ and more.
