ACW 001: MELBOURNE

Friday, September 4, 2026 | Melbourne Pavilion

Australian Championship Wrestling arrives in Melbourne for ACW 001, a massive night of professional wrestling featuring international superstars, Australia’s top talent, championship action, chaos, surprises and a true big-fight atmosphere.

This is more than another wrestling show. ACW 001 marks the beginning of a new chapter for Australian Championship Wrestling.

THE MAIN EVENT Bobby Lashley Vs Keegan Brettle (C) Australia’s fan favorite and the inaugural, longest-reigning ACW World Champion, Keegan Brettle, faces the biggest challenge of his championship reign when he defends the ACW World Championship for the very first time against The All Mighty Bobby Lashley.

Brettle has declared himself Australia’s top babyface and the face of ACW, but standing across the ring from him will be one of the most dominant athletes professional wrestling has ever seen.

Can Keegan survive his first championship defense? Or will Melbourne witness Bobby Lashley leave Australia as the new ACW World Champion?

MUSTAFA ALI Vs Dan Archer International superstar Mustafa Ali will compete live at ACW 001 against none other than Dan Archer! Who will win? There is only one way to find out.

BANGLADESH STREET FIGHT Anything can happen when Mad Dogg, Negativo, Mike Kaos and Syd Parker collide in the Bangladesh Street Fight.

There are no ordinary rules and nowhere to hide and overseeing the madness will be Australian hardcore wrestling icon Krackerjack as Special Guest Referee.

Expect chaos.
