Real American Freestyle (RAF) has made a significant move to expand its presence in the wrestling business. They reached an agreement to acquire a longstanding organization with deep roots in amateur competition.

The deal brings several established youth tournaments under the RAF umbrella and could open a new chapter for the promotion. RAF confirmed it intends to work alongside the existing ownership to build on the organization’s history.

However, financial details and the company’s long-term plans for the acquisition have yet to be revealed.

The organization involved is World of Wrestling, which has operated since 1979 under the leadership of the Roller family. Its portfolio includes three recognised youth competitions: the Tulsa Nationals, Reno Worlds, and the Kickoff Classic.

In its announcement, RAF acknowledged the generations of wrestlers and families who have been part of these events over the years.

“If you grew up wrestling, you know what these tournaments mean,” the company wrote, recalling the family trips, pre-match nerves, and trophies associated with competing in them. RAF also praised the Roller family’s contribution and expressed excitement about working together to preserve the tournaments’ traditions.

The agreement marks another expansion for RAF, which launched in April 2025 and held its first event on August 30 that year. Eric Bischoff serves as the organization’s chief marketing officer, and the promotion has staged 16 events so far. Its latest, RAF 14, took place in Las Vegas on October 23.

While RAF has primarily focused on freestyle wrestling competition, the World of Wrestling agreement gives it a connection to the youth amateur scene through some well-established tournaments.

The financial terms have not been disclosed, and RAF indicated that further details about the deal and its plans will arrive in the coming months. For now, the agreement represents a major addition to its wrestling portfolio, extending its reach beyond the established competitive platform.
