Tampa, Fla. (November 12, 2025) – Real American Freestyle (RAF), the first unscripted pro wrestling league for the world’s best athletes, today announced RAF04 will take place December 20 at the brand-new Fishers Event Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a can’t-miss heavyweight title fight between reigning champ Wyatt Hendrickson and top contender Mason Parris.
Tickets are available now at Ticketmaster. For those watching from home, RAF04 will stream exclusively on FOX Nation, as part of RAF’s extended media rights deal with the network.
The matchup was set in motion at RAF01, when Parris stepped onto the mic in Cleveland and issued a challenge to Hendrickson, fresh off his dominant title win over Olympian Mostafa Aly Elsayed Gabr. Hendrickson accepted. Now it’s official. One night. One title. Two of the most feared heavyweights in wrestling.
“When two hammers like Wyatt and Mason meet, it’s not just a match, it’s a moment,” said Izzy Martinez, RAF co-founder and COO. “These are the matchups fans dream about, and RAF04 delivers it live in Indy. This is what we’ve been building toward all year.”
RAF has rocketed onto the combat sports scene in 2025, creating incredible live entertainment and drawing elite talent across wrestling, MMA, and college sports. With breakthrough events in Cleveland (RAF01), State College (RAF02), and Chicago (RAF03), RAF04 will close the year with a bang in a city that’s steeped in wrestling tradition. Founded by Chad Bronstein, Izzy Martinez, and Eric Bischoff, RAF was built to give wrestling the professional platform it always deserved. Unscripted. High stakes. Real competition – backed by national distribution, cinematic storytelling, and a growing roster of Olympic medalists, NCAA champions, and MMA stars.
“RAF04 represents a milestone, not just for the athletes stepping on the mat, but for everyone who’s helped bring this vision to life,” said Chad Bronstein, CEO and co-founder of RAF. “In less than a year, we’ve built a real platform for the world’s best wrestlers and a new destination for fans. Closing 2025 with Wyatt vs. Mason feels like the right way to set the stage for what’s ahead.”
