## Identity and title
The title combines the league's abbreviation, RAF, with the event's number in the promotion's running sequence. Fox Nation's platform page lists the Real American Freestyle catalog as events numbered [RAF 02](https://www.edgepedia.org/raf-02) through [RAF 14](https://www.edgepedia.org/raf-14), presented as 14 seasons and 43 episodes, so "06" denotes the sixth event rather than a year or episode code.[4](https://nation.foxnews.com/real-american-freestyle-nation/) The league itself was founded by Chad Bronstein, Israel Martinez, and Eric Bischoff, and launched in 2025.[1](https://www.themat.com/news/2026/may/28/raf-expands-partnership-with-fox-nation-for-live-events-raf-next-gen-and-original-competition-series)
## Format and the RAF league
RAF presents freestyle wrestling in a professional, unscripted fight-night format. The broadcaster describes it as "no cages, no scripts, just pure, authentic freestyle wrestling with a modern, exhilarating presentation," featuring Olympians, NCAA Champions, and MMA stars.[4](https://nation.foxnews.com/real-american-freestyle-nation/) All RAF events stream live exclusively on Fox Nation.[1](https://www.themat.com/news/2026/may/28/raf-expands-partnership-with-fox-nation-for-live-events-raf-next-gen-and-original-competition-series) USA Wrestling reports that since launching in 2025 the league has generated billions of media impressions and more than 250 million social views per event.[1](https://www.themat.com/news/2026/may/28/raf-expands-partnership-with-fox-nation-for-live-events-raf-next-gen-and-original-competition-series)

## By the numbers
The full-episode upload on Fox Nation's YouTube channel runs 49:56 and had recorded 82.6K views and 939 likes as of retrieval, a measure of the event's secondary online reach rather than its live audience, which is not separately documented.[3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k8XyleUplY) At the league level, USA Wrestling reports more than 250 million social views per event and billions of media impressions since the 2025 launch.[1](https://www.themat.com/news/2026/may/28/raf-expands-partnership-with-fox-nation-for-live-events-raf-next-gen-and-original-competition-series) Two of the documented matches ended by technical fall, with headline scores of 11-0 and 13-2.[2](https://www.mmanews.com/article/raf-06-results-cejudo-vs-faber)
