Women’s eXtreme Wrestling (WXW), the trailblazing promotion dedicated to showcasing the toughest and most fearless female competitors in the wrestling industry, regretfully announces that it will be going on hiatus, effective immediately.
Since its inception, WXW has prided itself on delivering high-energy, boundary-pushing action that has redefined women’s professional wrestling. Our passionate athletes, dedicated staff, and loyal fans have made WXW a force in the industry, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the unwavering support we have received over the years.
This decision has not been made lightly. While WXW has continually strived to provide an electrifying and innovative platform for women’s wrestling, various operational challenges have led us to the difficult conclusion that stepping back at this time is necessary.
We want to assure our fans, talent, and partners that this is not the end of WXW, but rather a pause to reassess, recalibrate, and explore future possibilities for the promotion. Our commitment to women’s professional wrestling remains strong, and we are hopeful that we will return bigger and stronger than ever.
To all the wrestlers who have stepped into the WXW ring, the production team who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and, most importantly, our fans who have supported us at every turn—thank you. Your passion and enthusiasm have fueled WXW’s journey, and we deeply appreciate your continued support during this transition.
We encourage everyone to stay connected with WXW through our official social media channels for updates, reflections, and any news about what the future may hold.
This is not goodbye—it’s simply a pause. WXW will return. Until then, keep the passion alive and continue to support women’s wrestling.

A video airs on the screen which the crowd erupts in cheers for. The famous Theme Song Video for the former Society of Destruction. After the video there is a new inscription on the video.

"We are taking over. GHW is under new management. The Children of the Damned are coming."
The record screeches and shows Eric and Vero in matching suits and ties.
"A new era of lucha libre will begin. Gone is the spot monkey era without a story. In comes authentic storytelling and innovation. Innovation where you use the environment to your advantage.
Who dares enter our realm of lucha libre?
We are open for business. The new era begins now!"
The video screeches once more then fades to a map of Baja California and a shot of the second Herrera Training School chapter. Rebuilt after Sickle burned it down previously.
"Will you graduate our academy? Only one way to find out."
Eric and Vero laugh and smirk at the camera as the scene fades back to the announcers table.

Asylum Wrestling Society Announces Shift Toward Mainstream Wrestling Style
October 11, 2024 - Las Vegas, NV – The Asylum Wrestling Society (AWS), long known for its extreme, hardcore wrestling style, is embarking on a new chapter. Founder and CEO Charlie Feigel has announced that AWS will be shifting toward a more mainstream, sports-entertainment-driven style of wrestling, signaling a strategic move to reach a broader audience.
For years, AWS has thrived on its unique, no-holds-barred approach, pushing the boundaries of wrestling with its hardcore matches and intense rivalries. However, this evolution marks a bold step forward for the promotion, with plans to incorporate more traditional, mainstream wrestling styles while retaining the excitement and unpredictability that have become synonymous with AWS.
In his official statement, Feigel shared his vision for the future of AWS:  
 
"Asylum Wrestling Society has always been about innovation, pushing limits, and giving fans something they can’t find anywhere else. We’ve built our reputation on extreme, high-octane matches, but we recognize that the landscape of professional wrestling is changing. By embracing a more mainstream wrestling style, we will continue to honor the AWS legacy while expanding our reach and appeal to a wider audience of fans worldwide."
Feigel emphasized that this change is not a departure from what AWS has always stood for but an expansion. The company will still feature its trademark action-packed, high-energy atmosphere, but with a renewed focus on storytelling, athleticism, and showcasing its diverse roster of wrestlers in more accessible match formats. 
Fans can expect exciting new rivalries, dramatic in-ring moments, and a mix of innovative match types that blend the intensity of hardcore wrestling with the technical prowess of mainstream professional wrestling.
The transition to this new direction will begin with upcoming events, including the highly anticipated AWS Wicked Games 2024 on November 3rd, where both hardcore and mainstream elements will be on display.
For more information, please visit the official AWS website or follow AWS on social media for the latest updates.
