PRODUCE Wrestling launched its inaugural event — PRODUCE Volume 1: The Octopus — on June 29 at Pioneerworks in Brooklyn, New York, with the show airing on MyAEW.
The debut card brought together a mix of talent from across the independent scene for what marks a notable first step for the upstart promotion. Among the results, Dark Sheik, Emersyn Jayne, and Gabby Forza picked up a trios victory over Janai Kai, Jordan Blade, and Nixi XS in what figures to be one of the more high-profile matchups on the card given the names involved. Oni King also secured a win over Dominic Garrini.
The choice of Pioneerworks as a venue is a fitting one — the Brooklyn arts space has become a go-to destination for independent promotions looking to stage events with a distinct atmosphere, giving PRODUCE a visually unique backdrop for its first show.
Airing on MyAEW gives the promotion meaningful exposure right out of the gate. MyAEW has increasingly become a home for independent and developmental content connected to the broader AEW ecosystem, and PRODUCE’s debut landing on that platform signals the promotion has real infrastructure behind it from the start.
With Volume 1 now in the books, all eyes will be on what PRODUCE Wrestling has planned next and whether it can build on this debut to carve out a consistent presence on the independent landscape.
