PTW Underground
"PTW Underground" was the name for PTW's regular shows held in PTW Performance Center and later briefly in Szafirowy Dwór. Initially, the shows had a very regular, almost monthly schedule.
Months with a major show (one with a number and title) did not feature an Underground, with the only exception being July 2023 which saw both PTW x Ryucon and Underground 16 two weeks later.
Also in 2023, both January and December had double bill weekend Underground shows, with one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
This schedule was interrupted in 2024, with only one Underground show in the first half, before resuming in October.
As of Underground 25, PTW announced that they'll be retiring the name and numbering scheme, with further shows having just a title. To honor the classic series, they'll be introducing a "PTW Underground" championship belt sometime in 2025.
The Underground shows were initially marketed as somewhat exclusive, with only 100 seats available due to the small venue. Major storylines were continued between the big events, and the smaller events often featured debuts, lower-card talent and international guests.
Starting with Underground 4 the shows were also streamed online, first on FITE/Triller, and later on YouTube, behind a membership paywall. In December 2023, sport streaming platform DAZN announced a partnership with PTW who moved their content there, starting with Underground 19 and 20. However, as of December 2024, no PTW shows are available on the platform.
