The Swords of Essex was a British professional wrestling tag team consisting of Will Ospreay, Paul Robinson, Scott Wainwright and Amazon. The team has competed for various notable British promotions such as International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom, PROGRESS Wrestling, and Revolution Pro Wrestling.
Robinson and Ospreay began teaming in 2013 for Future Pro Wrestling (FPW) and became a very successful tag team in the British wrestling circuit. A highly decorated tag team, Swords of Essex won numerous tag team championships including the British Tag Team Championship, the FPW Tag Team Championship, and PROGRESS Tag Team Championship once each. They broke up as a tag team in 2014 and began feuding with each other in PROGRESS before reuniting in late 2015. They were joined by Scott Wainwright in 2016, making it a trio. Together, the three held the British Triangle Championship once, while their combinations won tag team titles. Robinson and Wainwright would win the IPW:UK Tag Team Championship and the RCWA Tag Team Championship once each while Ospreay and Wainwright would win the WCPW Tag Team Championship once.
Wainwright left the group in 2017 due to injury, making Swords of Essex, a tag team again. The team disbanded in 2019 as Ospreay began wrestling full-time exclusively for New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Swords of Essex would then reunite in 2023.
