PAPHOS, Cyprus & GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany — August 6, 2026
Rehband, a global manufacturer of premium sport protection and performance products, and the wXw Wrestling Academy UG have entered into an official partnership. The collaboration gives the Academy's coaches, active wrestlers and trainees access to Rehband's sport protection and performance range.
The partnership brings together two organizations committed to helping athletes train with confidence, push beyond their limits and realize their full potential. Rehband equips coaches and selected active wrestlers of the wXw Wrestling Academy with products for use in day-to-day training and at suitable sporting occasions, while the Academy supports an authentic presentation of the products in a genuine sporting environment.
Professional wrestling places a distinctive load on the knee. Wrestlers take repeated falls onto the mat, absorb impact on hard surfaces and work through kneeling, sliding and landing positions at a volume few other sports demand. Rehband knee pads and supports are anatomically designed to provide impact protection, a secure fit that stays in place through fast sequences and consistent support without restricting the movement wrestlers need in the ring.
