Pro Wrestling Symphony, often referred to simply as PWS.[1] or Symphony, is an American independent professional wrestling promotion, founded on May 20, 2024, by Connor Casey, Pat Dooley, and Rory Miller. On June 1, 2025, Symphony held their self-titled debut show[2] at Brooklyn Bowl[3] in Nashville, with individual matches posted to the promotion's YouTube page beginning June 16[4], and the entire show posted to independentwrestling.tv on August 14[5]. Since then, the promotion has run monthly events, all of which are available on both their YouTube and IWTV pages. In keeping with the name, many Symphony events are named for iconic songs, lyrics, or musical albums (such as The Killers' "Hot Fuss," System of a Down's "Toxicity," and Gorillaz' "Demon Days").
Notable mainstays for the promotion include Colby Carter, Freya the Slaya, Royal Prestige (Majestic and TéVon Jordyn), Shane Mercer, Kaia McKenna, Adrian Thomas, Jaden Newman, Alejandro, Jazzy Yang, Mad Dog Connelly, Sigrid, Tim Bosby, Nixi XS, The Good Hand (Suge D, Kasey Owens, and Tyler Stevens), Alexis Littlefoot, Brittnie Brooks, Jamesen Shook, The Collab (Laynie Luck and Shazza McKenzie), Terry Yaki, and Tyler Shoop. Other prominent wrestlers who have also been featured include Thom Latimer, Krule, Donovan Dijak, Richard Holliday, Alex Kane, Violence is Forever (Dominic Garrini and Kevin Ku), Crazzy Steve, BEEF, Jeremiah Plunkett, Ben Bishop, Brooke Havok, Fresh Air (Junior Benito and Macrae Martin), Tate Mayfairs, Big Booty Judy, and Dillon McQueen[6].
Championships from other companies have been defended at Symphony events, such as the IWTV Independent Wrestling Tag Team Titles[7]. Other prominent championships have appeared on Symphony programming but were not defended, including the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship (held at the time by Latimer[8][9]) and the MLW World Heavyweight Championship (held at the time by Krule[10][11]).
The promotion has posted both their values and code of conduct[12] to their website, indicating their intention to create a welcoming environment for everyone "regardless of age, race, size, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation."[13] The promotion marched in the Nashville Pride Parade in June 2025[14].
History
On May 2, 2025, Pro Wrestling Symphony' self-titled debut event was announced via press release[15]. The event took place June 1, 2025. The initial event was main evented by local wrestler "The Code" Colby Carter vs. former WWE star Donovan Dijak, a match won by Carter[16].
At the first event of 2026 (February 1, Sweet Victory), Carter was crowned the first Symphony Men's Champion when he defeated Tim Bosby and Shane Mercer in the semifinals and finals of an ongoing tournament[17]. The following month (March 8, Undeniable), Freya the Slaya became the first Symphony Women's Champion when she defeated Jazzy Yang and Kaia McKenna in the semifinals and finals of an ongoing tournament.
On April 11, 2026, rather than their typical monthly event, Symphony is co-promoting matches at the East Nashville Beer Festival with ACTION Wrestling and TWE Chattanooga, kicking off Symphony's 2026 "tour" of Nashville events, with subsequent events at Music City Fit Expo (June 6) and a block party held at 6th & Peabody (July 11)[18]
