In the tournament to crown a new Interim PWWA Champion in Madison Eagles‘ absence, two competitors have advanced after having their first round matches April 21 at the Woy Woy Leagues Club.
Kellie Skater forced the former Leah West, Alex Lee, to tap out in her debut PWWA match.
Jessie McKay also picked up a victory after defeating Harley Wonderland with a Yakuza Kick.
The other two tournament matches have been announced, with New Zealand’s Evie taking on her partner-in-crime Megan-Kate, and Shazza McKenzie going up against Eliza Sway.

Allysin Kay will defend her newly won AIW Women’s Championship against “Girl Dynamite” Jennifer Blake in Cleveland, Ohio on May 12th for AIW.
Blake has been on a roll since returning from Mexico, and has been taking bookings left, right and centre. She followed up a victory over Jodi D’Milo on April 14 for WrestleStock with another over Kimber Lee for AIW’s “Girls Night Out 6” on April 15.
In an interview with SLAM! Sports, Jennifer says she’d love to return to SHIMMER Women Athletes.
“I’d love to do SHIMMER again. I always had fun working the SHIMMER shows and working the girls from North America. It’s always easier to put a match together with someone who speaks the same language as you. That’s always a treat, coming home and wrestling the girls.”
Blake also made mention that she’d like to make a few more trips overseas before she retires.
“I want to do a little bit more traveling, I want to see a little bit more of the world before I hang up my boots. I’d love to make it over to Japan. I’d love to make another trip to Scotland, and maybe check out Europe.”

Sara Del Rey is set to face off against The Batiri member Obariyon on April 29 for CHIKARA’s debut in Indiana.
Speaking of The Batiri, their big announcement on Twitter included posting Del Rey’s home address and phone number on Chikara101.com.
Looks to us like The Batiri, whom have been taunting Del Rey for months on the popular social media website, must have a death wish…

They’ve also released a small teaser clip about Satomura making her debut in the USA.

Spinelli most recently defended her gold against Nicole Matthews on April 14, in what was described as a very “back-and-forth” match.
Matthews and her stable The RIOT will also be in action, defending their tag team titles.
