OVW was originally founded in 1996 with legendary wrestling manager Jim Cornette as the head booker for the promotion. It became recognized as WWE’s developmental brand to promote young up and coming future WWE superstars.

The organization would change ownerships on multiple occasions as Jim Cornette would be replaced by Paul Heyman until Heyman would be called upon to book the newly reformed ECW brand back in 2006. Greg Gagne would ultimately book the territory after Heyman left.
The organization would continue to be WWE’s developmental program until February 7th 2008 when WWE ended it’s partnership with the organization and began partnering with Florida Championship Wrestling, moving all wrestlers contracted at OVW over to the new brand.

In November of 2011, Ohio Valley Wrestling began serving as the developmental brand for Total Nonstop Action to train future talents. The relationship between the two companies continued until November 2nd 2013, when both organizations would part ways.
But that relationship was renewed shortly after Al Snow purchased the company in 2018. OVW once again became the developmental territory for Impact in March of 2019. With all of the pro wrestling content on each week, Ohio Valley Wrestling can now be added to the list of shows for wrestling fans to watch.
