The promotion also collaborated with non-NWA members on the local independent circuit holding several interpromotional shows with Chris Lash's Allied Powers Wrestling Federation (2002; 2009–2010) and participated in Deaf Wrestlefest (2010).

The first PWX Tag Team Champions were crowned in a tournament final on January 8, 1996, in North Versailles, when Sean Evans and Vince Charming defeated Brian Anthony and Paul Atlas.

[7] On October 24, 1998, T. Rantula represented the promotion at the NWA 50th Anniversary Show in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, where he wrestled Abdullah the Butcher.

Vince Kaplack represented PWX in the "Free For All" battle royal to be named number one contender for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship.

[14] NWA East / PXW had a close working relationship with the Allied Powers Wrestling Federation based in Commodore, Pennsylvania.

These early shows had the two companies sharing talent, however, a storyline developed which saw relations between APWF and NWA East become confrontational.

A showdown of sorts took place at the McKeesport Sportatorium on July 5, 2002, pitting APWF and NWA East wrestlers against each other.

According to the pre-match stipulations, the APWF would receive the contracts of NWA East wrestlers if they won the majority of the matches.

The APWF "invasion" came to an end in McKeesport on August 2, 2002, when J.B. Destiny and Sean Stylez defeated Kid Country and Charlie Mansun.

It also showcased younger up and coming wrestlers including, most notably, Amazing Red, Cody Hawk,[19] Kingdom James, Gregory Iron, Matthew Justice, Ryan Mitchell, Michael Shane, Quinson Valentino, Shark Boy,[19][20] Sterling James Keenan,[21] Xavier, and The S.A.T.

The promotion moved its events from Eastland Mall, which was demolished in 2005, to the Jacob Woll Pavilion in Renziehausen Park during the mid-2000s.

[31] In August 2011, the promotion relocated to McKeesport and established a new home venue, what was dubbed "The New PWX Wrestleplex", at the former St. Stephen's Church fellowship hall and school.

[30] The move was officially announced on September 24 at what would be the final show at Jacob Woll Pavilion in Renzie Park.

Live shows were filmed at "The New PWX Wrestleplex" using a four-camera setup and a green screen for special features.

PXW programming was shown in Western Pennsylvania and parts of Ohio and West Virginia on a total of 12 over-the-air television stations.

It is held in memory of Sean "Shocker" Evans, the co-founder of PWX, who died from throat cancer on October 2, 2007.
