Keep up to dates with all the latest news and stories in SWW!
The main event of Dropkick The Halls promises to be one of the most explosive and unpredictable headline matches in SWW history. “Worth Every Pound” Charlie Sterling steps into a daunting 2-on-1 handicap match against the brutal pairing of “King of the Travellers” Tyson T-Bone and the wildly unpredictable Kneecapper Murphy.
Sterling has long been considered one of the UK’s most complete performers — combining elite athleticism, technical precision, and jaw-dropping physicality. His recent run of form has shown exactly why he’s regarded as one of SWW’s finest. But even with all that talent, he faces a numerical disadvantage unlike anything he has encountered before.
His opponents bring a unique and dangerous blend of styles. Tyson T-Bone, a powerhouse known across Britain and Europe, carries a reputation for overwhelming strength and ruthless aggression. Every strike from T-Bone can end a match, and every moment in the ring with him is a risk few are willing to take.
Standing beside him is Kneecapper Murphy — officially the UK’s smallest active wrestler. What he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in speed, unpredictability, and sheer audacity. Murphy uses his stature as a weapon, slipping through gaps, attacking from unexpected angles, and keeping opponents guessing from the moment the bell rings.
Together, T-Bone and Murphy form a combination of force and chaos that creates a uniquely dangerous environment for Sterling. This main event offers no certainties, no easy paths, and no guarantees. It will be high-energy, high-risk, and high-impact — a spectacle worthy of closing out Dropkick The Halls.
Witness this rare and remarkable showdown on Sunday, December 7th at Leisure at Cheltenham.

Match Announcement: Toby St John vs Joel Redman
The second match set for SWW: Clash on the Coast will see Toby St John, representing the SWW Tag Team Champions, face former SWW Tag Team Champion “The Benchmark” Joel Redman.
Following the September attack by The Blockbusters that left both Joel Redman and Eddie Ryan sidelined, the former Professionals have pursued their own individual paths toward retribution. Eddie Ryan meets Jordan Sparkes earlier in the night, and now Joel Redman gets his opportunity against the other half of the champions.
A world-class technician with a reputation for precision and discipline, Redman enters this match driven by unfinished business. Toby St John approaches the contest with the confidence and composure expected from a reigning champion, aiming to maintain the Blockbusters’ hold over their rivals.
This encounter adds another layer of intensity to SWW’s debut in Torquay, as both men look to settle scores in a pivotal, emotionally charged match.
Match Announcement: Eddie Ryan vs Jordan Sparkes
The first official match for SWW: Clash on the Coast will see veteran competitor “The English Lion” Eddie Ryan facing Jordan Sparkes, one half of the SWW Tag Team Champions, accompanied by “Lady Luck” Lana Rae.
Eddie Ryan enters the bout carrying a sense of unfinished business, still seeking retribution for the attack by The Blockbusters in September. Known for his intensity, experience, and unwavering fighting spirit, Ryan arrives in Torquay with vengeance firmly on his mind.
Jordan Sparkes, however, is a champion for a reason. Skilled, composed, and backed by Lana Rae’s ringside presence, Sparkes has proven himself capable of thriving under pressure. With the eyes of the Tag Team Champions on this encounter, he will be determined to halt Ryan’s momentum and protect the reputation of The Blockbusters.
This match sets the tone for SWW’s Torquay debut, promising a fierce, emotional battle as one man seeks justice and the other looks to stand tall in the face of a roaring challenge.
Karl Parker Returns at SWW: Clash on the Coast
South West Wrestling is proud to announce the return of “Sexy Cowboy” Karl Parker at Clash on the Coast, taking place Sunday, December 14th at The Foundry in Torquay.

Known for his distinctive presence, powerful striking, and surprising agility for a competitor of his size, Karl has earned a loyal following across the South West. His career includes marquee victories, show-stealing performances, and title pursuits that have cemented him as a standout name in the region.
After time away from SWW, Karl’s return adds even more anticipation to an already stacked debut event in Torquay. His blend of toughness, confidence, and undeniable showmanship makes him a major factor in any match he enters, and fans can expect the same intensity and presence that made him a favourite from day one.

A blockbuster mixed tag team match is set for Dropkick The Halls as SWW Warriors Champion “The Allstar” Ruby Manitoba joins forces with Lee Hunter — one half of one of the greatest tag teams in UK wrestling history — to take on Miles Stephens and former Warriors Champion Aluna.
Manitoba’s reign has been nothing short of dominant, turning back every challenger who’s stepped her way. Hunter’s experience and in-ring IQ make them a formidable pairing.
But standing across the ring are two Cheltenham natives with plenty to prove. Aluna returns home for the first time since Crumbling Empire, where she came within a heartbeat of reclaiming the Warriors Championship from Manitoba. Now, she’s got another shot at the champ — this time, with the home crowd behind her. Miles Stephens, a proud representative of Cheltenham, will look to use that same energy to pull off a major win in front of family and friends.
It’s a showdown between champions and hometown heroes — and this time, Cheltenham might just be the difference-maker.

A returning wildcard meets a roaring veteran at Dropkick The Halls as “The Unpredictable” CJ Rawlings steps back into an SWW ring for the first time since his violent First Blood match against Chris Bronson.
After a hiatus that left fans wondering when — or if — he’d return, Rawlings is back with something to prove. Known for his intensity, speed, and unorthodox style, he’s as dangerous as ever. But his comeback test couldn’t be tougher: “The English Lion” Eddie Ryan.
A cornerstone of British wrestling, Ryan is a veteran competitor, a former SWW Tag Team Champion, and one of the most technically gifted wrestlers on the scene today. His pride, precision, and power make him a formidable opponent for anyone — especially someone returning from a brutal absence.
It’s the clash of the unpredictable and the unrelenting. Can Rawlings tame the Lion, or will Ryan’s roar silence the comeback before it begins?

The King of the Beasts stands tall — but the ultimate underdog has entered his jungle.
At Dropkick The Halls, SWW Openweight Champion “King of the Beasts” Jim Diehard puts his title on the line against “Fly or Die” Josh Foulds, the breakout star of Channel 4’s hit reality competition Underdog: Josh Must Win.
Jim Diehard’s reign has been nothing short of dominant. Since winning the Openweight Championship, he’s turned away every challenger with ruthless efficiency, his strength and stamina setting a new standard for SWW champions. Every opponent who’s stepped up has been crushed and sent back to the end of the line.
But Josh Foulds has built his career on beating the odds. Known for his grit, heart, and resilience on Underdog: Josh Must Win, Josh brings that same never-quit mentality into the ring. He’s not just fighting for the title — he’s fighting to prove he belongs among the elite.
It’s the Beast vs the Underdog. Power vs heart.
One will stand tall. The other will fall.

The first bout for Dropkick The Halls has been confirmed — and it’s one loaded with tension and pride.
After both men advanced to the semi-finals of the 2025 Lord of the Ring tournament, “The Fox” Kian Kelly will go one-on-one with “Limited Edition” Chicago Desailly in Cheltenham.
This isn’t the night either man expected. For Kelly, it’s a frustrating twist — having schemed and clawed his way into a new SWW contract, the cunning veteran now faces a young, ambitious challenger with everything to prove. Desailly, meanwhile, sees Kelly as the perfect stepping stone to show he’s more than just a rising prospect.
It’s a battle between experience and hunger, calculation and fire — and neither man intends to leave Cheltenham quietly.
