About wrestling show names
Weekly wrestling show names work differently from pay-per-view names. A PPV name sells one night; a TV show name is a brand that has to survive years of episodes and hundreds of graphics packages, so it is nearly always a single hard word or a night-plus-word combo. Raw, Nitro, Thunder, SmackDown, Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, Impact and Velocity all follow the pattern: one or two syllables, an explosive or aggressive noun, easy to shout in the opening pyro. The oldest shows used the timeslot itself (Saturday Night's Main Event, Superstars of Wrestling, Monday Night Raw), and secondary programs often took softer, energetic words like Heat, Velocity, Superstars and Level Up to signal a B-show.
When naming a show, think about the tier. Flagship shows want a heavy word that can carry a logo (Ignition, Warzone, Overdrive). Developmental or B-shows want an aspirational word (Rising, Proving Ground, Next Level). House shows and touring loops use practical, repeatable names (Road Show, Hometown Heroes, Saturday Night Special) that can attach a city name after them. Specials get a one-off hook like Draft Night or Gold Rush.
The real names at the top are included as reference; the rest are original and ready for an e-fed, a WWE 2K universe mode calendar, a TEW save or an actual indie's monthly show.
Tips for choosing a name
- Pick one hard, short word for the flagship and give it a night: "Wednesday Night Ignition" reads like real TV, "Ignition Wrestling Show" does not.
- Give each tier its own energy: aggressive words for the A-show, aspirational words like Rising or Proving Ground for developmental, practical words like Road Show for house shows.
- Make sure the name works with your promotion's initialism in front of it, e.g. "SVW Voltage," because that is how fans and graphics will refer to it.
- Avoid names currently used by WWE, AEW, TNA or NJPW; Raw, Nitro, Dynamite and Impact are trademarks even though they are ordinary words.
- Save gimmick and holiday hooks (Draft Night, Gold Rush, Steel Cage Saturday) for specials so they still feel special when they come around.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a wrestling show name and a PPV name?
A show name is a recurring TV or house show brand (Raw, Nitro, Dynamite) that stays the same every week, while a PPV or premium live event name marks a single special date and usually implies stakes or a gimmick match. Use this list for weekly programming and the Wrestling PPV Name Generator for supercards.
Why are wrestling shows named things like Raw, Nitro and Dynamite?
Short explosive nouns fit on a logo, work in a pyro-heavy intro and sound aggressive when a commentator says them. Monday Nitro was named to sound faster and more dangerous than Raw during the Monday Night War, and AEW followed the same logic with Dynamite, Rampage and Collision.
How many shows should my e-fed or WWE 2K universe run?
One flagship weekly show is enough for a small roster; add a second brand only when you have 30 or more wrestlers and want brand-split storylines. A developmental show like Rising or Proving Ground is a nice touch for a large save but adds a lot of booking work.
Can I use these show names for a real indie promotion?
The original names here are free to use, but do a quick search first since ordinary words like Impact, Rampage and Collision are already trademarked for wrestling by major companies, and some indies use names like Fight Club Pro or Warzone.
