*WWE AND TKO ANNOUNCE "WWE VIXENS INTERNATIONAL", PREMIERING THIS SEPTEMBER ON CBS, TV TOKYO, AND PARAMOUNT+
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), a division of TKO, is proud to announce the latest groundbreaking addition to its television portfolio: "VIXENS INTERNATIONAL". Slated to premiere in September 2026, the highly anticipated program will air on broadcast television via CBS in the United States and TV Tokyo in Japan, while streaming globally on Paramount+.
The launch of Vixens International marks a monumental milestone as WWE celebrates a decade of the Vixen brand. Since its inception in 2016, CBS and TV Tokyo have served as the proud broadcast homes of the Vixens, facilitating a 10-year partnership that has redefined women’s professional wrestling on a global scale. Now, the introduction of Vixens International will shine an exclusive spotlight on the elite, world-class athletes of the Vixens International Division.
"The Vixens brand has always been about breaking barriers and showcasing the absolute best female competitors from every corner of the globe," said Ashley Snyder, TKO Founder/Co-Owner and WWE CEO. "Expanding our incredible 10-year relationship with CBS and TV Tokyo, and bringing this action to Paramount+, allows us to give the Vixens International Division the dedicated, premier stage it deserves. The world is watching, and we are ready to deliver."
The new series will be spearheaded on-screen by Vixens General Manager Zorra, and governed by Vixens International Division Commissioner Zari Mercer, who has expertly helmed the division since 2023.
Behind the scenes, Vixens International boasts an unprecedented, legendary production and creative team. The Vixens creative braintrust features a veritable Mount Rushmore of women's wrestling: Mickie James, Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, Megumi Kudo, and Bull Nakano (who also serves on the TKO Board of Directors).
The launch of the new program represents the vast synergistic power of TKO and its unparalleled leadership team. The project has received the full backing of TKO Founders/Co-Owners Ashley Snyder and Alan Snyder.
"This expansion isn't just a win for WWE; it’s a victory for the entire TKO family," noted WWE President and General Talent Manager Anthony Chandler, who leads Global Talent Strategy & Development. "With the establishment of the WWE Performance Village under the leadership of Wesley Wilson, and the strategic vision of WWE Executive Director Shawn Hickenbottom, the pipeline of elite international talent has never been stronger." WWE Chief Brand Officer Savannah Alarie will ensure that the Vixens International Division features the most combat-ready, marketable, and diverse athletic roster in sports entertainment history.
Fans can prepare for a new era of global dominance. The exact premiere date for WWE *Vixens International* in September 2026 will be announced in the coming weeks
