SHINE Wrestling will be crowning a new Nova Champion over the course of a two-night tournament taking place on Dec. 13 & Dec. 14. This will be for their SHINE 63 & 64 events. The title was recently vacated by Shotzi Blackheart due to signing a contract with WWE for their NXT brand.
The promotion has announced the following participants for this tournament:
Former SHINE Nova Champions –
- Aja Perera (Current SHINE Tag Team Champion)
- Candy Cartwright
Also –
- Kimber Lee (SHIMMER Champion)

- Brandi Lauren
- Natalia Markova
- Double D’Rose
- Randi West
- Jayme Jameson
- Stormie Lee
- Avery Taylor
- Lindsay Snow
- La Rosa Negra

The Nova Championship’s history is still fairly new. It was introduced in 2017 and Blackheart was only its fourth titleholder.
At this time the full brackets and which participant is facing which has not been announced. Aja Perera has commented on her Twitter account that she will be facing Kimber Lee in the first round.
Can Perera become not only a two-time Nova Champion but add this gold with her current Tag Team Championship?
Although not advertised Mercedes Martinez has made a comment on not being included for the tournament. She has something to say about this and may end up making her way towards adding another title to her long list of accomplishments.
