April 11, 2022--One Pro Wrestling (1PW LTD) announced today that professional wrestling megastars, including AEW's Ruby Soho, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam and women's wrestling icon Mickie James, will headline the sensational relaunch of the renowned British professional wrestling promotion on 1st October 2022. Tickets are available now at 1PWTIX.COM and Exclusive Meet & Greet Packages are available at 1ProWrestling.com.

In addition, 1PW also announced that it is partnering with FITE, the premiere digital network for global sports and entertainment for the digital release of its back catalogue of star-studded shows. FITE will also serve as the exclusive digital streaming partner for 1PW's return event, A NEW TWIST OF FATE, on Saturday 1st October, at The Dome in Doncaster. A NEW TWIST OF FATE, a play on the company's first-ever show name ‘A Cruel Twist of Fate', will feature an allstar card including some names and themes from the company's illustrious past and will also build towards a bright future for the brand by introducing fans to a new generation of talent.

Founded in 2005 by managing director Steven Gauntley, the original 1PW was headlined by some of the biggest names in the industry, including AJ Styles, Abyss, Samoa Joe, Steve Corino, and the legendary Bret 'The Hitman' Hart, alongside a roster of premier British wrestlers like PAC, Doug Williams, Jody Fleisch, and Greg Burridge. 1PW also helped launch the careers of the first-ever NXT Tag Team Champion and current WWE announcer, Corey Graves (Sterling James Keenan) and former WWE Superstar, Drake Maverick (Spud).

Throughout the year, FITE will provide exclusive access for fans to watch the entire back catalogue of 1PW events featuring the aforementioned star-studded line-up as well as offering the company's highly anticipated return show, the first 1PW show in 11 years.
