Women Superstars United (WSU), formerly known as Wrestling Superstars Unleashed and Women Superstars Uncensored, [1] is an American women's professional wrestling promotion based in New Jersey which has been inactive since 2020. [2] Founded in 2006, [3] WSU events combine professional wrestling interspersed with both serious and comedic storylines. [4] In the early 2010s, WSU collaborated with other wrestling promotions such as National Wrestling Superstars [5] and Dragon Gate USA.
In 2013 WSU was purchased by the owner of Combat Zone Wrestling D. J. Hyde, [6] and from then onwards CZW and WSU have been closely-linked, with WSU events often running in a venue earlier the same day of a CZW event.
WSU is considered one of the top women's wrestling organizations in the United States. [7] The company claims to be "the leader in women's wrestling in the northeast" and to promote more cards than any other women's wrestling company in the country. [8]
