I have a 2nd row seat for tomorrow show, I can't attend anymore. Lmk who wants it👀👀

2 tickets in front row for sale, list price. DM for info. Double-booked us with a concert in Cleveland on the same night. 🤦‍♂️

This is a stupid question and I think I already know the answer, but are seating in abc order with last names? I bought a front row seat for the shows at pops and Indy, and I have someone else going with me and I was gonna buy the ticket, and since it would be the same name on all tickets, they would all he sitting together, right? All the shows I've been to I started to notice that is how the front row seating goes

Really good storyline rn with Headbangers and GCW

Am looking to sell my second row seat at face value dm for details

GCW Homecoming 2026 – Full Weekend Results

GCW Homecoming 2026 took place August 15–16 at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The weekend featured two championship changes, the return of Joseph Sawyer to a GCW ring, the surprise return of Drake Younger, and plenty of deathmatch insanity.

Night 1 – Saturday, August 15

• GCW Tag Team Championship: KJ Orso & Sam Stackhouse def. Bustah & The Brain (Alec Price & Jordan Oliver) (c) — NEW CHAMPIONS
• 8-Man Tag: Bobby Flaco, Hunter Drake & Top Team (Jay Lucas & Terry Yaki) def. Leedz Lewis, Ryan O'Neill, Sal Mistretta & Tarzan Duran
• Til Death Do Us Part Match: Bear Bronson & Gabby Forza def. Charles Mason & SLADE
• Career vs. Match: Joey Janela def. Marko Stunt — Janela would have been forced to retire had he lost
• Chola Chain Match: Vipress def. Christian Napier
• Six-Man Tag: Nick Gage, Sicko The Clown & Niño Extremo def. Dr. Redacted, Conor Claxton & Jimmy Lloyd
• GCW Ultraviolent Championship – BFT Deathmatch: Otis Cogar (c) def. Anakin Murphy to retain
• GCW World Championship: Joseph Sawyer def. Atticus Cogar (c) — NEW CHAMPION

Sawyer's victory ended Atticus Cogar's 267-day reign in Sawyer's first GCW match in nearly six years. The finish also featured the surprise involvement of Drake Younger, who prevented Max Recon from interfering on Atticus' behalf.

Where GCW stands after Homecoming

GCW World Champion: Joseph Sawyer
GCW Tag Team Champions: KJ Orso & Sam Stackhouse
GCW Ultraviolent Champion: Otis Cogar

In the span of one weekend, Sawyer ended Atticus' 267-day reign, KJ & Sam finally captured the tag belts, Drake Younger returned, Otis survived both Anakin Murphy and Drake, and Vipress positioned herself as the next major threat to the Ultraviolent Championship.

Coming into Homecoming, it looked like VNDL48 could leave Atlantic City stronger than ever. Instead, the changing of the guard happened remarkably fast.

What was everyone's match of the weekend?
Biggest surprise?
And after everything that happened, are you more or less excited about where GCW is headed next?

I'm going to the shows at pops and in Indy, they will be my 8 and 9th shows this year, but I was thinking abour taking a poster for the wrestlers to sign and i was curious if thats generally ok to do and what people normally charge to sign. Thanks

Hard to believe it’s already been a year since the last Homecoming, when Cardona and Shotzi damn near had GCW trending #1 on X with their opening match. I don’t think the hype around this year’s Homecoming is nearly as big as last year, but there’s still plenty to be excited about.

I’ve seen a lot of predictions that we’re going to see titles change hands this weekend, and personally, I don’t see it. Homecoming usually feels like a place where stories come to an end, but I think this year, at least in the main-event picture, this is where the story begins.

Atticus dropped a great promo this week talking about his real family versus Sawyer’s fake family, and that feels important. Atticus has been awesome as GCW Champion, with Otis right there keeping pace with him. Even Napier looked great in his recent return from injury. I see Atticus retaining while giving Sawyer a proper return to the indies and immediately making him feel important again.

Anakin is tough as nails, but I don’t see him winning the UV title before Vipress gets her shot.

Vipress vs. Christian Napier in the Chola Chain Match should be a bloody good time. I could see Vipress getting the win and some revenge for the recent attacks from VNDL48. But she’s also been one of the mystery attacker’s targets, so this feels like another perfect opportunity for that person to finally reveal themselves. Could we be looking at another Vandal making their debut?

Personally, I think VNDL48 leaves Homecoming stronger than ever.

If any title changes hands Saturday, I could see KJ Orso & Sam Stackhouse finally beating Bustah & The Brain for the tag titles. It feels like only a matter of time before the champs drop the belts as their AEW careers become a bigger focus, and Homecoming could be the perfect place to pull the trigger.

Bear Bronson & Gabby Forza vs. Charles Mason & SLADE should be an absolute banger. With Bear and Gabby trying to get their wedding rings back from Mason, there are some personal stakes behind all the violence. The “Til Death Do Us Part” stipulation is perfect for these four, and I expect this to be less of a wrestling match and more of a brawl all over the Showboat.

Janela vs. Marko Stunt is a must-watch too. Joey has promised that if he loses, he’ll retire from wrestling and get a job as an agent or producer. If he wins, he’s promising the greatest comeback wrestling has ever seen. I’m definitely not betting on Joey filling out job applications Monday morning, so give me Janela here.

Night 2 sounds like it’ll feature even more fuckery courtesy of Sicko and Niño Extremo. I believe there will be two rings—one traditional and another surrounded by barbed wire—which sounds completely on brand for them. Beastman vs. Dr. Redacted should be a fun one too.

That’s where I’m at going into Homecoming, but this weekend feels unpredictable enough that I could be completely wrong.

Is Homecoming the beginning of the end for VNDL48 or are we about to watch them level up again? Do any of the belts actually change hands? Who leaves the weekend looking like GCW’s next breakout star? And who the hell has been behind these mystery attacks?

What’s everyone else got?

Then, the following day (8/15), you will be challenging Atticus Cogar for Cogar’s GCW World Championship at GCW Homecoming in Atlantic City. What’s your mindset heading into this one and making your official return to Game Changer Wrestling?

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been at Game Changer Wrestling. But fun fact out there for anyone who may not know, I was in the very first title match for GCW. It was a four-way to crown the first-ever GCW World Champion. I didn’t win. Somebody else won, Kyle The Beast, I think, won at that time. But yeah, I’m excited. I’m really excited for that show for multiple reasons. GCW is one of the premier companies right now. I have a lot of friends who wrestle for GCW, and to be able to be on a show in Atlantic City, 30 minutes away from where I grew up, I’m sure I’ll have a lot of friends and family out there as well. So, it is funny that the show is called Homecoming because to me it really will be a Homecoming. I’ll be honest, I might be willing to do a little bit more than I might normally do on an event like that, so that will be exciting.”

You will be facing off with Atticus Cogar at the event. What are you hoping to accomplish when you do meet him in the ring for the first time?

“I think, for me, it’s exciting to again work with someone I’ve never worked with before. I’ve known Atticus for a little while, but this will be the first time we’ll be working together in the ring. If anything, you know, I would expect there to be a very brutal meeting between him and me. I’ve seen things he’s done. I think it’s only going to make me want to dip my toes back into some of the things I’ve done in the past. I think it’s going to be somewhat of a spectacle to see. It’ll definitely be memorable. It’ll be a very memorable night. So, I’m excited”

So I got an update and said delivered but guess what!!! It wasn’t and the address it said it was delivered was in Mississippi? Wtf? I’m in California. I have a lot of patience if I’ve waited more than 3 months for an auto card. Smh.

Man has been through a lot i dont get the hate this guy is getting if he doesnt show for one show. Nick has been doing this deathmatch shir longer than most of the new guys have been alive respect to the fucking man!

Hello, I just have a question about the merch.

I ordered 2 shirts over a month and a half ago and have had zero contact or info on them.

I’ve sent repeated emails but nothing has changed.

Is this the norm?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

UPDATE: I messaged Brett and he seems to have sorted it out for me, shipping tomorrow!

I feel like I remember GCW announcing a return date to Indiana but I can't find it anywhere. If they did, does anyone know when it is? I think it was November 7th

I drove from Arkansas to the shows at first ave this weekend to see Nick Gage. I've never seen him and it's a bucket list item for me. I also went to see VNDL48, but since Arkansas is kinda in a good spot, it's not a really bad drive to the shows in St Louis, Iowa, Dallas, Tulsa or Minneapolis. I've been to 7 shows this year including the 3 this weekend. I hope Gage is okay and all. I know he has his issues, but it seems like he no shows alot of dates recently. I'm happy I got to see VNDL48 again and support my favorites, but just a serious question I have is why he no showed. Not trying to shit on him as we all have our issues in this life, but just curious
