But the action isn’t just in the ring — the atmosphere will be electric from every corner of the venue. Cashier Fresh will perform live, and the night will feature ring announcing by Jay from Wooder Ice, adding that unmistakable local energy to every entrance, slam, and shocking moment.
“We’re bringing an incredible event that fuses hip hop, high-intensity wrestling, and personalities that you do not want to miss,” said PWE Co-CEO Roman Fiorella. “This is a new era of PWE — and we’re doing it the Philly way.”
PWE’s Holiday Hangover is sponsored by Kellian’s Bar and Ringside Rips, pushing the independent wrestling scene forward while staying true to the city’s love of grit, entertainment, and spectacle. With PhilaMOCA’s intimate setup, fans can expect the action to spill beyond the ropes — this is wrestling up close, personal, and louder than ever.
