History

In August 2025, the United Wrestling Network announced their first regional branch in the Northeast, named Gotham Wrestling. The first event was scheduled for October 16, 2025, at the West Nyack Levity Live at the Palisades Center in West Nyack, New York. On September 8, 2025, UWN announced that AEW wrestler Jay Lethal, Karl Fredericks, UWN Women’s Champion Big Mama, VSK, the then-UWN Tag Team Champions the Wolf Zaddies, and Brett Ryan Gosselin would appear during the first set of tapings.

PW Insider reported that UWN was also negotiating with television stations for syndication. On October 16, 2025, PW Insider reported that former WWE NXT producer Nick Bonnano was producing the show and partnering with local promotion Xcite Wrestling for ring and production equipment; Jay Lethal had dropped out due to a family emergency. On December 2, 2025, PW Insider reported that UWN had secured syndication deals with the New England Sports Network, Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, Sportsnet Pennsylvania, and Gray Media.

On January 8, 2026, UWN announced that its flagship show Championship Wrestling would be preempted, with its timeslot replaced in syndication and on YouTube by Gotham Wrestling. On June 2, 2026, UWN held its first Gotham Wrestling supercard, Battle of Gotham, in partnership with Xcite Wrestling, which aired on tape delay as episodes of Gotham Wrestling.
