Real American Freestyle Wrestling, co-founded by Hulk Hogan and Ben Askren, will make its debut in Cleveland on August 30, 2025, at the Wolstein Center. The event will feature ten wrestling matches and a special tribute to Hulk Hogan, who passed away in July, leaving a significant impact on the wrestling community. Despite Askren's recent health challenges, including a double lung transplant, he remains involved in shaping the league's first event, which aims to deliver authentic wrestling rather than scripted entertainment. The debut will showcase top athletes such as Bo Nickal, Sara Hildebrandt, Lance Palmer, and Wyatt Hendrickson, marking a new chapter for the sport and honoring the legacy of its founders.
