No word yet on potential headliners.
“This is a milestone moment for RAF,” said CEO and Co-Founder Chad Bronstein. “We started this league to give wrestling a true professional home—and one year later, we’re seeing that vision come to life in a big way. There’s no better place to celebrate
that than Cleveland, where it all began, in front of one of the most passionate wrestling communities in the country.”
The 2026 NCAA Division-I Men’s Wrestling Championships take place March 19–21 at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
Next up for RAF is RAF07: “Tsarukyan vs. Poullas 2,” scheduled for Sat., March 28, 2026, at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, featuring the rematch from their brawl-for-all in Tempe.
