Comcast Shuts Down G4TV, Xavier Woods And More React

[Liz]

G4TV, the revived gaming network which featured WWE Superstar Xavier Woods (Austin Creed) as a host and regularly featured WWE and AEW superstars on their programming, has officially been shut down.

The news came courtesy of an exclusive report by Deadline which revealed the internal memo that was sent out from Comcast CEO Dave Scott which confirmed the shutdown of the network.

Team:

As you know, G4 was re-introduced last year to tap into the popularity of

gaming. We invested to create the new G4 as an online and TV destination for fans

to be entertained, be inspired, and connect with gaming content.

Over the past several months, we worked hard to generate that interest in G4, but

viewership is low and the network has not achieved sustainable financial

results. This is certainly not what we hoped for, and, as a result, we have made the

very difficult decision to discontinue G4's operations, effective immediately.

I know this is disappointing news, and I'm disappointed, too. I want to thank you

and everyone on the G4 team for the hard work and commitment to the network.

Our human resources team is reaching out to you to provide you with support,

discuss other opportunities that may be available, and answer any questions you

may have.

Thank you again for all of your hard work for G4.

The network relaunched in November 2021 and featured multiple WWE Superstars and guest appearances on Attack of the Show. Xavier Woods was a regular host of the weekly program and WWE even hosted a relaunched version of the G4 Arena television show hosted by Xavier Woods and Gina Darling.

In reaction to the news, Xavier Woods, like many hosts, alluded to finding out about the news via social media.

Xavier Woods continues to host the gaming-centric UpUpDownDown on YouTube. Fightful Gaming will keep you up-to-date with all of the latest wrestling video game news.
