Keep up to dates with all the latest news and stories in SWW!
South West Wrestling returns to Lakefest from August 7th–11th inside The Greatest Show Tent, continuing our annual tradition for the fifth year in a row.
Every year, unforgettable moments are made—and this summer will be no different.
Whether you're chanting "MOO!" for The Cowman Dinger Bane, screaming "Let's Get Sexy!" for Flynn Burden, or booing Openweight Champion Jim Diehard out of the tent, there's something for every festivalgoer.
L A Taylor defends her crown as the Queen of Lakefest, "The Stallion" Chris Bronson returns to make the mums swoon and the children cry, and El Zorro is back to dazzle the crowd with high-flying lucha energy. Fan favourite Kneecapper Murphy brings pint-sized pandemonium, and with Tyson T-Bone at his side, expect no rules, no mercy—just mayhem.
Set against the stellar soundtrack of Echo & The Bunnymen, Groove Armada, Faithless, and Busted, SWW offers family-friendly fun under the stars—all with a spacey twist.
Don’t just watch the action. Be part of the story.
While SWW was set to announce JJ Gale vs Charlie Sterling for the SWW Championship at Up The Bracket, ongoing contract negotiations have delayed the official reveal. Talks between SWW Owner Pete Bainbridge and Charlie Sterling’s agent continue, with a major stipulation still to be agreed upon. An announcement is expected soon.
In the meantime, SWW can now reveal the first official match for Up The Bracket—and it’s a blockbuster.
In her hometown of Camden, “The Villainess” Skye Smitson returns to SWW to face the debuting “Undefinable” Sadie Gibbs.
Sadie Gibbs will challenge for the SWW Warriors Championship on September 6th at Town of Dreams, but before that, she faces her toughest test yet: Taylor’s closest ally and tag partner. Smitson is a fierce competitor, a born fighter, and someone who thrives on shutting down hype.
Gibbs brings world-travelled experience, explosive strength, and undeniable presence into this long-awaited return to the UK independent scene.
Two of the most talked-about wrestlers in the division. One high-stakes match. Only one can step forward.
Tickets are available now.
