Oliver Grimsley defeated Ray Rosas for the United Wrestling Network’s Television Championship at Championship Wrestling from Arizona’s September 9 television tapings in Mesa, AZ. Even though the title has been theoretically meant to be defended across all of the different promotions that are part of the United Wrestling Network, this is the first time the title has changed hands outside of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. Rosas held the title for 92 days since winning it from Scorpio Sky on June 10, 2018. This was the second time Rosas made a title defense outside of Port Hueneme, having also defended it on a DRKLGHT Wrestling event in Los Angeles. Grimsley is the 17th champion in the title’s history.
