News in Brief: PWWA Tournament News, Sara Del Rey vs. Meiko Satomura Next Weekend & More

Diva Dirt is back with another fix of news, notes and tidbits in the world of women’s wrestling. Check it out below:

In the tournament to crown a new Interim PWWA Champion in Madison Eagles’ absence, two more competitors have advanced after having their first round matches May 5 at the Casula Powerhouse.

Evie defeated her “BFF” tag team partner, Megan-Kate.

Shazza McKenzie received a bye into the next round – her original opponent, Eliza Sway, unfortunately had to withdraw from the tournament due to medical reasons. As a result, Jessie McKay challenged Shazza to a non-tournament match-up and the two girls went to a fifteen minute time limit draw.

This means that Kellie Skater, McKay, Shazza and Evie have all advanced to the next round of the tournament (to be held June 15th at the Camden Civic Centre).

For those whom were left disappointed by the fact Meiko Satomura was unable to attend JoshiMania back in December (and thereby, unable to wrestle her dream match with Sara Del Rey), need only stay that way one week longer – the match has been rescheduled for CHIKARA’s “Aniversario: The Ogg and I” event on May 20th!

Also on that show will be Saturyne vs. Kagetsu in a singles match and Sendai Sachiko teaming up with Dash Chisako to take on The Bravado Brothers in inter-gender action.

In addition to the Sendai Girls tag match already announced for the night before (at “Aniversario: A Horse of Another Colour”), Del Rey and Saturyne will also be in action. Saturyne will team up with Eddie Kingston, Scott Parker and Soldier Ant to do battle with Del Rey, Jigsaw, Shane Matthews and Green Ant.

However, the two will team up themselves only a few weeks later on June 2nd at CHIKARA’s iPPV show, “Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur”, when they verse The Batiri in a three-on-two handicap match. The event will be streamed live at www.gfl.tv.

Diva Dirt is back with another fix of news, notes and tidbits in the world of women’s wrestling. Check it out below:

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.

Who’s your pick for the winner?

That’s not all that’s been happening in Australia. Shazza McKenzie picked up the duke in a big grudge match with Sway on April 21 for MCW’s “New Horizons”.

Shazza will take on Kellie Skater for NHPW May 26 in Western Australia, battling it out for Skater’s IndyGurlz Australia Championship.

Before her big title defense, Skater will wrestle K.C. Cassidy April 27 at MCW’s Dragonfly show.

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…

While on the subject of CHIKARA, the first announced match for their big 10-year anniversary shows on May 19 and 20th involves none other than the Sendai Girls themselves: Meiko Satomura and Kagetsu will team up to take on Dash Chisako and Sendai Sachiko on the 19th in Easton, PA.

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

Davina Rose will debut for Canada’s ECCW this Saturday in Surrey, taking on KC Spinelli for her Women’s Championship.

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.
