"Of course, we are aware of the speculation and the rumors surrounding GCW right now," Lauderdale said. "We are very excited for the future of GCW, which includes a number of exciting partnerships as well as a game-changing announcement in regards to how people will be able to stream and watch GCW events going forward! We will make our first of many announcements this Saturday during GCW's event in Detroit, which will air LIVE on FiteTV!"
