Former ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham has started a new promotion with QT Marshall’s 1 Fall Wrestling and PRODUCE.
Gresham wrestled for PRODUCE this past week both on September 13th in Jersey City and more recently over the weekend as part of the Pez Whatley Invitational in association with ASÉ and ACTION Wrestling in Red Bank, Tennessee. Gresham won the eponymous tournament and has since announced a long-term working relationship with PRODUCE and 1FW to launch his own promotion;
January 9, 2027. New platform. A different approach. MAG (Modern Age Grappling) is the style. ROUND 1 is advertising. In partnership with 1FW & PRODUCE, we are creating a space for another expression of professional wrestling. This is the beginning. ROUND 1 — January 9.

Gresham had a brief stint with AEW as ROH World Champion, winning the title at the final show, before the promotion went on hiatus until it was acquired by AEW President Tony Khan in 2022.
He went on to defend the title that year at Khan’s first ROH Supercard of Honor, then twice more at AEW Battle of the Belts and AEW Rampage before dropping the title at Death Before Dishonor 2022.
That match marked the end of his run as a backstage spat with Khan over his performance. Both of Gresham’s PRODUCE appearances aired on MyAEW this past week, and he battled Lee Moriarty in July for the ROH Pure Championship for PRODUCE.
