Wrestle Zone have been successfully putting on shows all over the North East of Scotland. Their shows offer family-friendly entertainment, with their wrestlers showcasing many different styles of wrestling from across the world. Several wrestlers on their roster were trained at their own academy, including Brian Tucker and Crusher Craib. In ring, Sterling Oil's tag team dominance was ended in November when the unorthodox team of Los Cystos defeated them for the Tag Team titles. Scotty Swift defeated Jason Rotanda to take the No-Limits title in February, which he held onto right through the year. Lionheart defended his title for 11 months, before succumbing to Damien in November, who with the assistance of Sterling Oil defeated Lionheart, who vows to have vengeance.
Wrestle Zone held a unification match in February 2011 to determine their first Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. No-Limits Champion Scotty Swift and Heavyweight Champion Damien met at Aberdeen Anarchy 2011, with Damien emerging the victor. The no-limit title and heavyweight titles were rendered inactive at this point, with the new Undisputed Title belt being unveiled at that event. Damien would continue to hold the Heavyweight title through the summer, defeating all comers albeit with a little help from time to time. In late June a re-focused Sterling Oil were successful in regaining the tag team titles, defeating Los Cystos in a close contest. The Regal Rumble trophy was won this year by Bryan Tucker, who recorded his first victory in that match; and the Battle of the Nations was won by England's Dave Rayne defeating Scotty Swift.
