OVW Partners with Creator Sports Network
Ohio Valley Wrestling Partners with Creator Sports Network to Bring Live Weekly Shows and Premium Events to Creator-Led Streaming Audiences
Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) are delighted to announce a formal partnership with Creator Sports Networks (CSN) to distribute all live weekly shows and premium events streaming to content creators on their platform, starting with this evening’s OVW Rise.
Built to connect live sports with digital-native audiences, CSN pioneered the industry’s first creator social rights window, enabling creators to legally broadcast live sports directly to their communities on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and beyond. Through this partnership, OVW content will be streamed by creators who add their own commentary, personality, and community engagement—effectively turning creators into modern-day sports broadcasters. CSN partners with leagues, teams, and rights holders to expand audience reach, engage younger, social-first fans who don’t watch traditional TV, and unlock new, scalable monetization opportunities.
Commenting on the partnership, Tracy Rosensteel, Chief Strategy Officer of OVW, said, “Our partnership with Creator Sports Network marks a defining moment for OVW Wrestling. I'm proud of the extraordinary momentum we’ve built over the past six months, and this relationship ensures our continued innovation while opening the door for more fans than ever to experience OVW. Equally impactful, wider distribution provides our roster a bigger stage to showcase their talent, accelerating their career growth. I'm excited to expand our community and deliver unforgettable moments to an ever-growing audience.”
“OVW represents everything we believe live sports should be in the creator era: authentic, community-driven, and built for modern audiences,” said Barrick Prince, founder of CSN. “OVW’s weekly shows, premium events and deep roster of emerging talent makes it a perfect fit for CSN’s creator ecosystem. Through this partnership, we’re helping the promotion reach new fans where they already spend their time, while creating meaningful new revenue and visibility for both OVW and its athletes.”
