REALITY OF WRESTLING LAUNCHES PROSPE-X

Houston, TX (January 7, 2026) — Reality of Wrestling (ROW), the premier professional wrestling organization founded by two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T and WWE Hall of Famer “Queen” Sharmell Huffman, today announced PROSPE-X, an all-new episodic competition series created to identify, develop, and spotlight the next generation of professional wrestling talent.

PROSPE-X will feature 10 of the most promising independent prospects in the United States — including nine singles competitors and one tag team — selected through an open nationwide submission process. The series provides an authentic look at the dedication, sacrifice, and relentless work required to chase a career inside the squared circle.

Competitors will be evaluated by an elite panel of industry leaders, including:

• Booker T — Two-time WWE Hall of Famer & Founder, Reality of Wrestling
• Ryan Davidson — Head Trainer, Reality of Wrestling & ROW’s first-ever Grand Slam Champion
• Brad Gilmore — ESPN broadcaster & longest-tenured announcer in Reality of Wrestling history

The 10-episode season blends documentary-style storytelling with high-pressure, in-ring evaluation. Each episode highlights a competitor’s personal journey and background, followed by in-depth performance analysis from the PROSPE-X panel.

Matches and featured content from PROSPE-X will debut on the official Reality of Wrestling YouTube channel, which has nearly 900,000 subscribers and ranks among the most-watched professional wrestling platforms online.

At the conclusion of the season, one standout competitor will earn a spot on the Reality of Wrestling roster and be featured at one of ROW’s marquee “Big Four” events: The Last Stand Rumble, Summer of Champions, SubZero, or Battle to the Bell.
