OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling) is currently majority-owned and controlled by Morley Sports Management Limited (MSM), a UK-based sports firm that took over as the main owner in 2025.

Who owns OVW right now?

  • The majority owner of OVW is Morley Sports Management Limited, a sports management and club-ownership company based in the UK.
  • MSM took a majority stake in OVW effective May 1, 2025, giving them controlling interest in the promotion.
  • The founder of MSM, Rob Edwards, became CEO of OVW as part of the deal, overseeing day-to-day direction and long-term strategy.

What happened to the old owners?

  • The previous ownership group was led by Matt Jones, along with other investors including Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg.
  • That group did not fully exit; they kept a minority equity stake and now act as advisors to MSM and its board.
  • Greenberg has said he will retain ownership but will not take an active operational role because of his duties as mayor.

Quick timeline

  1. OVW had been locally owned (Jones/Greenberg group) before 2025.
  1. In early April 2025, OVW announced that Morley Sports Management would acquire a majority stake and assume control on May 1, 2025.
  1. After the deal, OVW became part of MSM’s sports portfolio, which also includes Welsh football club Haverfordwest County AFC.

Why this is a bit “shared”

From a fan or forum-discussion point of view, you’ll sometimes see people say “OVW was sold to a UK sports group” (meaning MSM) while others still mention Matt Jones or Mayor Greenberg as owners. Both are technically true:

  • Control / majority : Morley Sports Management (they run OVW now).
  • Minority / legacy stakes : Matt Jones, Craig Greenberg and the prior local group still hold smaller ownership pieces and advisory roles.

In short: if you’re asking “who owns OVW” in 2026 for news, business, or wrestling context, the primary answer is Morley Sports Management Limited, with the former Louisville-based group staying on as minority owners and advisors.

TL;DR: OVW is majority-owned by Morley Sports Management Limited (UK), while the previous Matt Jones–led group (including Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg) still holds a minority stake and advisory roles.
