One Pro Wrestling (abbreviated as 1PW) is a British professional wrestling promotion. 1PW was founded in 2005 by Steven Gauntley. Originally run by the now defunct retail chain 1 Up Games, the company's headquarters were located in Doncaster.[1]

Early days

The promotion was founded in 2005, and went into liquidation in 2007; however, they would restart within the same year, until August 2013, when they announced their closure.[2]

Relaunch

On 11 April 2022, 1PW announced its relaunch, with its first event (A New Twist of Fate) taking place on 1 October 2022. Rob Van Dam, Jamie Hayter, Mickie James, Christopher Daniels, Cara Noir, Nick Aldis appeared on the show, with the event being shown on FITE TV. A follow-up event (No Turning Back) scheduled for 18 February 2023 included the 1PW debut of Will Ospreay taking on the hometown wrestler in Robbie X. John Morrison and Rhyno also debuted in Lincoln.

In April 2022, the promotion announced its return, with its first event, A New Twist of Fate, taking place on 1 October at the Doncaster Dome.[3] In January 2023, the promotion was announced to have joined the Premier Streaming Network.[4]

On 22 April 2023, 1PW returned to the Doncaster Dome with All or Nothing. Will Ospreay was crowned the first 1PW World Heavyweight Champion since the re-launch, meanwhile Robbie X won the Openweight Championship, Boisterous Behaviour won the Tag Team Championships and Lizzy Evo became the inaugural 1PW Women's World Champion.[1][5]

On 8 September 2023, Will Ospreay announced that he would not work for 1PW again, amid accusations that the promotion had not paid employees, including current Openweight Champion Robbie X.[6] On 15 September 2023, One Pro Wrestling confirmed that all of their championships had been vacated.[7]
