Erick Stevens is looking to make 2026 the biggest year of his career.
After coming out of retirement in 2025, Erick Stevens came back to independent wrestling and had some memorable matches against Bryan Keith, LaBron Kozone, Mad Dog Connelly and Roderick Strong in Deadlock Pro. He’s not looking to the future and hoping to make 2026 the best year in his career.
“2025 was crazy. I rolled off the couch in June, wrestled for the best independent promotion in the country, and had a blast doing it. I’m looking forward to the new promotions, opponents, and memories that 2026 has in store for me. I’m going to make this the best year of my career.”
Stevens has been announced for two huge tournaments in 2026. First, Stevens will be competing in GCW and JCW’s Jersey J-Cup on February 6th and 7th. This will be his first time competing in the tournament.
One month later, Stevens will be competing in one of Europe’s biggest tournaments in wXw’s 16 Carat Gold. He competed in the tournament twice before in 2009 and 2010. 16 Carat Gold will take place March 6th-8th in Germany.
