Bradenton, Fla - Universal Championship Wrestling (UCW) will open 2026 with a bang as they prepare themselves for their annual 10-day event known as Fury at the Fair as a part of the Manatee County Fair at the Palmetto Fairgrounds. Several matches will take place from January 15-25 at select times.
Last Time Out:
UCW closed 2025 with Universal Fury 17 at the Desoto Boys and Girls Club in Bradenton. It was highlighted by a return, four newcomers and three title matches, which included the team of Hot and Trending (Steve Sterling and Shayne Stetson) defeating the Miami Boyz to win the UCW Tag Team Championship in the main event.
Jennacide, who had not wrestled in a UCW ring since Universal Fury 11, made her return and was able to secure the victory over newcomer Rocky Radley.
Other highlights of newcomers debut include Dagan McCarter retaining his UCW Intergalactic Championship against Hadar Horowitz in a open challenge, KJ Mack defeating Mo Malik and Logan Cruz defeating Jonathan Gibson.
The Real Reign:
The Real Drago has been on a roll after winning the UCW Universal Championship at Masters of the Universe. Since his return at Big Bang, Drago has won seven of his last eight matches and is currently on a six-match winning streak. In his last match, he defeated Leeroy Shogun by submission at Universal Fury 17 to retain his championship.
Walker's Woes:
For 'The Magnificent' Johnny Walker, he is looking to break out of a four-match losing streak after not picking up a win in a match (singles or tag team) since Universal Uprising (June 15, 2024) when he and Kendall Ryann defeated Danny Stratos and Nadia White in a mixed tag team. His last win in a singles match was at Supernova where he defeated Joey Ozbourne and The Real Drago in a triple threat match to win the UCW Universal Championship before dropping the title to Hardcore Horvath.
In his last match, Walker lost to Sean Scott at Universal Fury 17.
