Prestige Wrestling, formerly known as Prestige Championship Wrestling (PCW), was an independent professional wrestling promotion founded by William Quintana.
History Prestige Wrestling was founded as Prestige Championship Wrestling (PCW) in 2017 and held their first show on April 15 at the Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center in Hermiston, Oregon with the inaugural PCW Heavyweight Champion being crowned at the event in a no disqualification match between Kenny Lush and Mike Santiago. The PCW Heavyweight Championship would change hands on June 23, 2017 during Proving Grounds when former TNA World Tag Team Champion, Davey Richards defeated both Kenny Lush and King Khash in a three way match two win the championship. In late 2017, PCW would change its name to Prestige Wrestling and would hold their first event under their new name on October 27, 2017. Titled Prestige 3: Alpha // Omega, the event featured Tom Lawlor, former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion, Simon Grimm, Billy Gunn, and former ECW World Television Champion, Super Crazy.
On September 29, 2019, Prestige held their first livestreamed event with Prestige Roseland at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon.

On December 14, 2023, Prestige held a joint show with Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW).

In the summer of 2025, Portland Wrestling, a local promotion in Portland, Oregon announced the cancellation of their booking of Joey Ryan on a show titled Reborn, a former wrestler who was accused of sexual misconduct in 2020 with nearly 20 allegations against him. Prestige Wrestling owner William Quintana responded to the attempt by saying “If you’re on our shows and you willingly share this locker room, help set up at this show or are involved with this show you are getting pulled from all future bookings. So goddamn tired of this stuff. Gatekeep harder.” Quintana also announced that Prestige would be running an event in response to this titled FJR which took place on August 23, 2025 at the Oregon Pro-Wrestling School in Hillsboro, Oregon. The profits from the show would go to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network in support of survivors of sexual violence.
On September 16, 2025, it was announced that Prestige was going on an indefinite hiatus after their final show on February 20, 2026. Titled Roseland XIII: The End, the event would be the final show that Prestige would hold before shutting down. On January 10, 2026, Prestige Champion Kevin Blackwood would announce his retirement match would take place on February 20, 2026. In the main event, Blackwood would lose the Prestige Championship to Judas Icarus, ending his nine-year career as a wrestler.
