Overview
- Real American Freestyle and FOX Nation confirmed an expanded exclusive streaming agreement on May 28, 2026 that adds 14 live events and year‑round coverage of RAF’s Next Gen program.
- Next Gen will launch exclusively on FOX Nation with its first card scheduled for July 19 in Milwaukee and is planned as a 14‑event series to showcase youth wrestlers in front of established stars.
- RAF greenlit a reality competition called Undiscovered: The Search For The Next RAF Superstar that will audition and pit aspiring wrestlers against each other for a chance to earn a spot on the RAF roster.
- The promotion is continuing immediate event momentum with RAF09 on May 30 in Dallas headlined by Gable Steveson vs. Alexandr Romanov and RAF10 on June 13 in St. Louis featuring Khamzat Chimaev’s RAF debut and other crossover names.
- RAF says the deal positions the promotion as a linked platform from Olympic and pro stars down to grassroots talent, a move that could accelerate roster building, increase youth exposure, and help FOX Nation widen its live sports offerings.
