WOW-Women Of Wrestling "True Courage" 6/1/24 Results: WOW World Champion Abilene Maverick vs. The Beast, Sierra Breeze Debuts In WOW vs. Penelope Pink, Keta Rush & The Mighty Mights vs. The Brat Pack
WOW Superheroes results from Los Angeles, California, USA at The Belasco Theater taped and airing in television syndication on Saturday, June 1, 2024:
David McLane and Nigel Zane are the broadcast team. Lauren Hunkele is the ring announcer.
Penelope Pink (with Lana Star and Vickie Lynn McCoy) pinned Sierra Breeze after her flipping neck breaker finisher. Breeze is played by Alexis Gray. She was in the WWE/NXT developmental system but ended up on the list of mass talent releases last year. She was a collegiate track and field athlete before entering into pro wrestling. She did get in a few big moves on Pink in this match including a big flying bodypress off the top rope. Pink and Star did a promo before the match. Pink wants a title shot at whoever wins the title match main event this week.
They showed a touching segment with Sophia Lopez, Tormenta, and Princess Aussie in the ring. Lopez said she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and had chemo and radiation therapy. She said she has been in WOW for over 12 years and the crew and fans are like her family. She had Jungle Grrrl come out to join her. Jungle has also been battling cancer in recent years. They promoted Jungle’s Endorphasm Foundation which focuses on physical and mental fitness for those suffering from illness https://www.endorphasmfoundation.org/
Keta Rush and The Mighty Mights (Sugar and Spice) defeated BK Rhythm, Gigi Gianni, and Lil J-Boogie when Rush pinned Boogie after a springboard crossbody. After the match, Rhythm and Gianni turned on Boogie. Rhythm hit her with her own boombox. Stephy Slays ran out and made the save. David McLane got in the ring and interviewed Slays as she held Boogie to comfort her. She said she’s tired of the bullying and people always turning on each other in WOW. She said she wanted to be Boogie’s friend and tag team partner.
WOW World Champion Abilene Maverick went into the locker room and gave Jessie Jones a special engraved bottle of bourbon as a gift for helping her out recently. Jones told her that she will be watching the main event and hoped they could have a victory celebration shot together when it’s over. Santana Garrett and Americana were shown overhearing the conversation outside the locker room.
The Beast walked to the ring but Maverick did not come out immediately. Maverick was shown waiting for Jones and she thought Jones stood her up. She started talking to herself out of frustration and said she would have the match without any help.
The Beast pinned WOW World Champion Abilene Maverick to win the title after the powerbomb. Everyone could see this coming for months but Maverick had a great heel title run. She won the title in her return to WOW on an episode in December 2023. Confetti fell into the ring as The Beast held up the title in victory. They didn’t acknowledge it this week but it seems that Garrett and Americana did something to Jones to stop her from getting involved.
Next week, WOW Tag Team Champions The Mother Truckers and Ariel Sky vs. Top Tier was announced.
As expected this episode aired late in Detroit because the Detroit City FC soccer game didn’t end on time. Next Saturday night might be delayed as well because Detroit 50 will air another Detroit City FC game. The station does air a replay each Sunday night at 11pm.
WOW is the most accessible weekly pro wrestling television program. If you can’t get WOW on local TV in your area, or if you miss an episode, they start posting up matches and full episodes throughout the week on their YouTube. The current episodes also air late Tuesdays/early Wednesdays on Vice TV on basic cable and streaming services at 12am Eastern with a replay at 3am Eastern.
