About Stable Challenges

If you are a member of a stable, you can challenge other stables, where your members will compete against the members of the opposing stable.

However, there are limitations to which stables that you can challenge, as follows:

  • If your stable is not ranked, you can only challenge other unranked stables
  • If your stable is ranked, you can challenge any stable that is ranked below you
  • If your stable is ranked, you can challenge any stable that is ranked within 25 rankings spots of yours
  • You can have 10 stable challenges outstanding at once. A stable challenge that is in progress does not count towards this limit.
  • There is no limit to the number of stable challenges you can receive.

Stable rankings are updated nightly. You must complete at least one stable challenge before you are ranked. If you are looking for stables to challenge, visit the Wrestler Classifieds.
