ACW Heavyweight Champion Rolando Kayias discusses his journey in professional wrestling, the growth of the sport in Cyprus and ACW’s upcoming major event, REBELLION, taking place on September 12 at Satiriko Theatre.
Wrestling Continues to Grow in Cyprus
For many people, professional wrestling is mainly associated with major international promotions. In recent years, however, the sport has begun establishing its own presence in Cyprus.
One of the leading figures in the Cypriot wrestling scene is Rolando Kayias, the current ACW Heavyweight Champion.
Ahead of ACW’s upcoming major event, REBELLION, Rolando Kayias joined Dimitri G on PRIMETIME, broadcast on POLITIS 107.6 & 97.6, to discuss his connection with wrestling, his journey in the industry and the ongoing effort to help the sport reach a wider audience in Cyprus.
Professional wrestling is a unique combination of athletic competition and entertainment. Behind the spectacle, stories, characters and intensity of every match lies a great deal of preparation, physical effort and training. This is something that spectators attending a live wrestling event for the first time may not immediately realise.
The ACW Heavyweight Champion in the Spotlight
Rolando Kayias currently stands at the top of ACW as its Heavyweight Champion—a title that places him at the heart of the action.
His presence also represents the work being done to create a more organised and active wrestling scene in Cyprus, with events aimed both at existing wrestling fans and those who wish to experience the sport for the first time.
Cyprus’ wrestling community has developed its own distinctive character, with the audience playing an essential role in the live-show experience. As with the world’s leading wrestling promotions, the atmosphere inside the venue, the crowd’s reactions and its interaction with the wrestlers are all integral parts of the show.
ACW REBELLION: The Major Event on September 12
ACW’s next major event is REBELLION, taking place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 17:00 at Satiriko Theatre in Nicosia.
It will be ACW’s first major live event following the summer break and will once again bring together the leading figures of the Cypriot wrestling scene inside the same ring.
REBELLION promises action, intense rivalries, major developments and surprises in an evening that aims to mark another important step in the growth of professional wrestling in Cyprus.
The event is suitable for everyone aged six and above, offering an exciting opportunity not only for established wrestling fans but also for those who have never attended a live wrestling show before.
A Sport Looking to Grow in Cyprus
The presence of people such as Rolando Kayias demonstrates that wrestling in Cyprus is no longer limited to watching major international promotions.
A local scene is emerging, aiming to grow, develop new wrestlers and introduce audiences to a form of entertainment that combines athleticism, storytelling and live spectacle.
The next major date is September 12 at Satiriko Theatre, where ACW REBELLION aims to offer wrestling fans a unique live experience while introducing the sport to an even wider audience.
