In January 2016, work on what was unofficially named "Season 2" began. Rather than the first season, Season 2 would not build towards a finale, but run continuously, still without the traditional cycle structure.
History
Season 1 (2014-2015)
New Origin Wrestling was founded by Sam Sampson, a wrestling fan for many decades. He decided to set up New Origin Wrestling to pass the torch to a new generation of talent during an era where new talent was sparse. After finding 10 rookies from around the globe, they were paired up with 10 AES "pros" who would show them the ropes and pass down knowledge in their own ways. Whilst the focus was predominantly on the rookies, their matches always main eventing shows (with the exception of NOW Episode 12), there were multiple other ongoing rivalries, some of them feuds years in the making. After Episode 5, the show's theme was changed to represent the past, present and future of AES, in the form of multiple matches and feuds.
Rivalries soon started between rookies, the most notable in the first part of the season were Slee Z against Buttz McKenzie and Stephen Archfield against Adam Atlas. In the first episode, Brand was victorious against Slee Z, Cipher defeated Symon Demyan and Stephen Archfield won a battle royal that featured the remaining rookies. Pros also had their own matches, with Juan Cortes Jr, Ronald Gibson and Lakeem victorious.
