Friday Night Severity

USW Severity (also referred to as Friday Night Severity, and USW Friday Night Severity) is a professional wrestling program produced by Ultimate Showcase Wrestling. The program airs weekly, for two hours. The show is the second-oldest program still airing in the company, having debuted in March 2016.
Severity was broadcast online in Canada and the United States via their streaming service "USW InTake" on Friday evenings and on BBC Sport in the United Kingdom and select parts of Europe on Saturday mornings. The show originally streamed over USW' official website, before being pulled from selections in early 2016 in favor of live shows that went untaped. In early 2017, Ultimate Showcase Wrestling reached a deal to broadcast their shows on BBC Sport (which also included Severity's sister program Intensity) starting after Call To Greatness XIII. On the day that the promotion debuted in Europe, they also brought back both programs to air in Canada and the United States through their online streaming service "USW InTake."
Starting on February 5, 2021, Severity and Intensity, along with a third show for USW's ARC Wrestling promotion would begin airing in the United States on FuseTV. In Australia, the show would begin streaming on 7Mate in the early hours of Thursday mornings, while it would air on BlazeTV in the United Kingdom at the same time, Wednesday evenings due to time zones. Super Channel Fuse would pick up the series in Canada starting at the same time as well. The production of the show would change as well, sporting a new stage set up and a new opening theme, a change from Egypt Central's "White Rabbit" for the first time in three years.
In 2024, Severity joined Intensity in moving to the FX Network in the United States. With this, a change in the show's production was made. The high definition screens that made up the entrance way were replaced with rigs of scaffolding with three smaller monitors mounted atop them, capable of being lowered to the ground and raised back to a normal position. The scaffolding would produce three different tunnels for which wrestlers would enter through, one in the center and one to either side. The opening them would also be changed to "My Demon" by Stitched Up Heart. The show's logo would also feature a moderate change, removing the neon green ring and lessening the neon green color from the show's color scheme.
