Coronation Cup

The UWL Coronation Cup is an annual tournament held in the Universal Wrestling League. The League never has a set date, in occurred in February in 2006, then in August for 2007. The first tournament was held in 2006, and featured 12 superstars broken into four brackets contending in a "round-robin" style tournament, with the winners from each bracket moving onto a mini-tournament. However, in 2007 the League was a normal single-elimination tournament. In 2008 the Coronation Cup returned to a league format.

=History= The Coronation Cup was established to see who on the current roster most deserved to be elevated to the main event and awarded a future UWL World Championship opportunity. The 2006 tournament saw Teddy Davis come out the win over such UWL "legends" like Flying Diamond Cutter Man. Davis would go on to reign as the 2006 Coronation Cup Champion. 2007 saw a change in format, but the rewards remained the same. However the number of participants grew to 16 compared to the 12 in 2006; this tournament also included many men who have since made big names in the UWL. Rich Morrison went on to win the tournament and reign as the 2007 Coronation Cup Champion.

=2006= The 2006 Coronation Cup featured 12 participants from the UWL. They were broken into four brackets of three superstars each, and then pitted against one-another in a round-robin style tournament. After, the winners from each bracket went on to compete in a mini-tournament to crown the Champion. The tournament was held from April 5th, 2006 until April 29th, 2006.
