IN THE ZONE #1 Now Available
Posted on June 25, 2025
Today marks the debut of WrestleUTA’s newest venture, WrestleUTA: Orlando, as its inaugural taping of IN THE ZONE officially becomes available. Held on June 25, 2025, at Universal Studios Orlando’s famed WrestleZone facility, the first episode invites fans to witness the next generation of UTA superstars in action—free for all park guests and rolling out now on the official WrestleUTA YouTube channel.
In a unique partnership with Universal Studios Orlando, UTA has transformed the historic WrestleZone building into both a state-of-the-art training ground and a live event arena. “Our goal with IN THE ZONE is to give these emerging talents real-world experience every week,” said UTA Director of Talent Development, Marcus Reid. “They’re honing their craft in front of passionate crowds, learning to captivate and entertain just like the pros.”
The inaugural episode features high-energy matches, behind-the-scenes training vignettes, and exclusive backstage interviews hosted by Melissa Cartwright, whose insightful questions give viewers an insider’s look at each competitor’s journey. Highlights include the first ever Florida State Women’s Championship Battle Royal—crowned by Angela Hall—and the Florida State Men’s Championship, won in dramatic fashion by Jarvis Valentine.
Fans tuning in online can catch every twist and turn of IN THE ZONE starting today, with new episodes posted each Wednesday. “We’re thrilled to bring UTA’s signature blend of athleticism and storytelling directly into fans’ homes,” said UTA CEO Samantha Lowe. “Whether you’re in Orlando or watching from afar, IN THE ZONE is where tomorrow’s legends begin their rise.”
Looking ahead, WrestleUTA: Orlando will continue to showcase its trainees alongside special guest appearances from veteran UTA stars and surprise matchups that promise to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. For those in Central Florida, live tapings are free with theme-park admission; for everyone else, subscribe to the WrestleUTA YouTube channel and hit the notification bell to never miss a moment.
