AWS Unveils the American Championship
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ASYLUM WRESTLING SOCIETY UNVEILS THE AWS AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
A New Standard for Grit, Pride, and Relentless Competition
The Asylum Wrestling Society officially announces the introduction of the AWS American Championship, a bold new title designed to spotlight the backbone of the roster—fighters who represent resilience, work ethic, and the uncompromising spirit of competition.
The AWS American Championship is not positioned as a ceremonial accolade. It is a battleground title. Defended frequently, earned the hard way, and intended to be carried by competitors who thrive under pressure, the championship stands as a proving ground for wrestlers ready to break through to the highest echelon of Asylum Wrestling Society.
This championship embodies a distinctly American wrestling philosophy: toughness over flash, substance over hype, and results over reputation. The American Champion is expected to defend anywhere, against anyone, under any circumstances—because that is the standard AWS demands.
Designed to sit at the heart of AWS competition, the American Championship will be defended across marquee events and bi-weekly programming alike. Its presence reinforces AWS’s commitment to athletic credibility, intense rivalries, and championships that actually mean something when the bell rings.
Further details regarding the inaugural match, qualification criteria, and championship unveiling will be announced in the coming days.
Asylum Wrestling Society doesn’t crown champions lightly.
The AWS American Championship exists for those willing to bleed for it.

AWS presents the Survival of the Fittest Tournament
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Asylum Wrestling Society Presents: Survival of the Fittest Tournament
Asylum Wrestling Society (AWS) officially announces the launch of the Survival of the Fittest Tournament, a brutal, no-shortcuts, 16-person elimination tournament designed to separate contenders from pretenders.
This high-stakes tournament will feature sixteen of the most dangerous, driven, and relentless competitors on the AWS roster, all fighting for one prize: a future shot at the AWS Unified World Heavyweight Championship. There are no guarantees, no favoritism, and no easy paths—only survival.
Each round raises the pressure. Every match strips away excuses. Only one competitor will endure the physical toll, the mental grind, and the chaos long enough to earn the right to challenge for the most prestigious championship in Asylum Wrestling Society.
The Survival of the Fittest Tournament is not about momentum. It’s not about reputation. It’s about who can still stand when everyone else has fallen.

Asylum Wrestling Society Extends Warm Thanksgiving Wishes to Fans Around the World
November 27, 2025 – Syracuse, New York – Asylum Wrestling Society (AWS) would like to wish all of our fans, athletes, staff, partners, and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving.
As dinner tables fill, stadiums light up, and traditions are celebrated across the country, AWS pauses to show gratitude to the people who make the chaos, carnage, and creativity of our world possible — you, the AWS faithful.
“Every single chant, every sold-out arena, every late-night stream – it all starts with our fans,” said AWS Founder & CEO Charlie Feigel. “On Thanksgiving, we’re reminded that none of this exists without the people who believe in what we’re building. From the frontrows to the cheap seats, from the die-hard e-fed handlers to the new fans just discovering AWS for the first time: thank you for letting our madness be part of your lives.”
This Thanksgiving, AWS celebrates:
The Fans – The lifeblood of Asylum Wrestling Society. Your passion, creativity, and loyalty drive us to raise the bar with every show, every match, and every moment.
The Roster – The men and women who put their bodies on the line, night after night, to tell stories, create moments, and redefine what professional wrestling can be.
The Crew & Staff – The production teams, referees, medical staff, creative minds, digital teams, and behind-the-scenes personnel who keep the asylum doors open and the lights on.
Our Partners & Affiliates – The arenas, brands, and partner promotions who stand alongside AWS as we continue to expand and evolve.
“As much as AWS is built on fights, rivalries, and grudges, holidays like this remind us that wrestling is also about family,” Feigel added. “Sometimes that family is the one you’re born into, and sometimes it’s the one you find in the locker room, on the road, or in a Discord server at 3AM arguing about who had Match of the Night. We’re grateful for all of it.”
AWS encourages fans to enjoy the holiday safely, spend time with loved ones, and recharge — because the asylum never sleeps for long. With massive events, new championship pursuits, shocking returns, and brand-new stories on the horizon, the next chapter of Asylum Wrestling Society promises to be the most unpredictable yet.
From our family to yours:
Happy Thanksgiving from Asylum Wrestling Society.
Thank you for your passion. Thank you for your support.
We’ll see you at the next show.

AWS Celebrates season 25, looks forward to season 26.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Asylum Wrestling Society Celebrates Monumental 25th Season; Eyes an Even More Relentless 26th Season
Las Vegas, NV — The Asylum Wrestling Society (AWS) closes the book on its 25th season, and let’s be blunt: most companies don’t make it this far. AWS didn’t just survive twenty-five years; it kicked down doors, broke molds, and proved there’s still room in this world for chaos, ambition, and unfiltered combat storytelling.
This season wasn’t nostalgia. It was evolution. Records shattered. Careers redefined. Rivalries burned hotter than ever. Champions forged themselves in steel, glass, and blood. The world watched as AWS talent stepped up, pushed boundaries, and forced the entire industry to acknowledge that the Asylum isn’t slowing down. If anything, it is only getting more dangerous.
“We don’t celebrate comfort, we celebrate grit,” said AWS Founder and CEO Charlie Feigel. “Twenty-five seasons of pain, pride, and performance, and all it’s done is sharpen our hunger. Season 26 isn’t about coasting on legacy. We’re hunting bigger moments, new stars, and louder impact.”
The final months of Season 25 delivered unforgettable matches, seismic shifts in power, and moments fans will argue about for years. Rising performers took their shot. Established names doubled down. This roster proved once again that AWS is where careers are made, legends are tested, and pretenders get exposed.
As AWS moves toward Season 26, the ambitions grow. Expect expanded global touring. More cross-brand showcases. A harder spotlight on breakout prospects. Next-gen divisions stepping up. More innovation in in-ring presentation. Greater fan integration across digital platforms and AWS+. More opportunities for wrestlers to climb, fall, and fight their way back again.
The Asylum is entering its next era with a chip on its shoulder. No victory lap. No comfort zone. AWS understands the wrestling landscape changes fast, and the organization intends to stay ahead through creativity, brutality, and authenticity that can’t be faked.
The message going into Season 26 is simple:
Pressure makes diamonds. The Asylum makes legends.
Welcome to the next chapter.
AWS Season 26 — coming soon. Stay ready.
