The January 7, 2015 edition of UGW Adrenaline aired on Spike. It was taped on January 2, 2015 in the Manhattan Center in New York City, New York.

Event
''As the lights went on in the Manhattan Center with the whole world watching the debut of Ultimate Global Wrestling, the 1,100 fans in attendance chanted "U-G-Dub". The founding father of UGW Gabe Sapolsky then appeared on the jumbotron and said that this is the start of something special; he said that a tournament 16 of the world's best professional wrestlers will kickoff tonight, with the winner being crowned the inaugural UGW Champion.''

The opening contest saw the Dutch stiff kicking machine Tommy End take on the well-traveled, experienced Chris Hero. The crowd were hot for this as, Hero's elbows and End's kicks could be heard all around the Manhattan Center. This was as stiff as professional wrestling match gets, and in the end it was Hero who took the victory following his Rolling Elbow to progress to the next round of the UGW Championship Tournament.

The main event was billed as a high-flying dream match between Ricochet and former WWE Intercontinental Champion John Hennigan. Both men brought their A-game and left the fans in the Manhattan Center on their feet. Hennigan won it after Ricochet missed a 630 Senton and Hennigan took advantage by hitting a Starship Pain to progress to the next round of the UGW Championship Tournament.
