Basic info

Professional wrestling career

Maniac Zone Wrestling (2018-2021)

Rookie & in-ring debut (2018-2012)

Seweryn set his foot in a wrestling ring for the first time at PAW Summer Camp 2018, held in Wrocław. In late 2018 and early 2019 he became one of the founding members of The Greens. Initally aiming to become a wrestler, he continued to train in PAW regularly for the next year, making his debut as Ring Rat during MZW Project 6: Death & Glory Rookie Battle Royal, where he eliminated Krueger before being eliminated by Nathan Cross and Stanisław Van Dobroniak. After that he made yet another apperance, in a segment during MZW Project 7: Golden Road, along with Anatolii, Hexia & Krueger. Later, during the pandemic lockdown, he decided to resign from his wrestler's career to become full-time wrestling referee.

Becoming Sewi the Ref (2021)

Seweryn made his debut as a referee during MZW Project Basement, refereeing alongside Sędzia Michał. After that, he made another apperance before a live audience at MZW Project 8: Golden Road Finals. Later that year, due to a long stagnation in MZW combined with low morale among MZW's Greens, and the rapid growth of PTW caused by poaching of talent from other federation, on the 21st of November 2021 the remaining Greens decided to leave MZW. Many of them either suspended their wrestling career, or transferred to Prime Time Wrestling. Sewi decided on the latter, joining PTW in late 2021.

Prime Time Wrestling (2022-2024)

Sewi the Ref debuted at PTW Underground 2, which marked the start of his 2-year tenure as referee in the federation. He worked along Sędzia Matek, with Sędzia Rafał joining in the second half of 2022. After Rafał's suspension due to the "Asian Scandal" controversy, and Matek's quiet departure from the company, he became the de facto Senior Referee, briefly working as the sole referee for Underground 11 & 12, before being joined by Klaudiusz. For most of 2023 and 2024 he maintained his position as the main referee, working many of the main events and matches with high-profile international wrestlers. He was also awarded the PTW's "Referee of the Year" Award for 2022.

During his tenure in Prime Time Wrestling, Referee Seweryn also made history as the first Polish referee to work in a foreign promotion, making his international debut at an Austrian Rings of Europe show "WrestleClash 25" in August 2023. Later he made yet another appearance at a PTW/WWA show in January 2024. Sewi continued his run in the company, being present at every PTW event (except Underground 7) up until Total Blast From The Past. After that show he, along with many other talent, left PTW.

PpW Ewenement (2024-present)

On July 5th, 2024, PpW Ewenement Wrestling announced on its social media that Sewi would join the federation as a referee. He made his debut at PpW Ale Grzeje, working alongside Sędzia Kornel & Sędzia Karol Górski.

While maintaining PpW as his main promotion, Sewi continued his sporadic apperances on the international circuit.

Return to Maniac Zone Wrestling (2024)

On October 12th, 2024, he also made an apperance at MZW No Time to Die, which marked his return to MZW after over three years.

Legacy of Wrestling (2024)

During the build-up for the first show it was unofficially confirmed that Sewi the Referee would be one of the main referees for the newly-founded Legacy of Wrestling. He indeed made an apperance there, being the sole referee at the event.
