On October 23rd, news broke that Christina Marie, Rebecca Scott, and Ultra Violette have collectively left Capital Championship Wrestling. This immediately sent fans into a frenzy wondering what had happened, and why the three top champions left CCW. More light was shed on the situation when Gabby Ortiz made a statement talking about how there was “mismanagement” with sponsorship money and talent pay.

On November 2nd, more than a week later, at 1:20 AM ET with replies blocked, CCW made a statement of their own, and it reads as follows:

We established CCW with the intention of providing a platform for talented women to showcase their abilities. We wanted to give countless skilled women who simply needed an opportunity. However, it is impossible to please everyone, no matter how hard we try. We would like to express our respect for the three wrestlers who have chosen to leave CCW. Nevertheless, we must address we made an error with one of our sponsors. 

We have acknowledged this mistake and apologized, and the Sponsor was refunded as soon as possible. And made good on other obligations to the Sponsor. We believe in honoring our commitments and ensuring that sponsorships contribute to various aspects of our operations, including venue expenses, production costs, travel arrangements for talents, and more.

However, it is crucial to emphasize that our primary focus is taking care of our talent according to the agreed-upon terms. Our aim is to elevate women’s wrestling, and we extend an invitation to anyone who wishes to join us on this journey. We kindly request that you gather all the necessary information before taking action as we are transparent and have nothing to hide. 

While sponsorships are important for helping cover talent and operating costs. Frankly, we do not generate any revenue. Instead, we dedicate a significant amount of money each month out of our own pocket to entertain our fans and ensure that everyone has a memorable experience at our shows. Our talent is not merely a statistic or a booking; we consider them as a part of our family, and we want them to know this unequivocally.

Update: CCW has deactivated their Twitter account.

Hello, my name is Scott Mitchell and I have been a professional wrestling fan since 2005. Like everyone the first promotion I really fell in love with is the WWE. However, as I got older, I got largely into the greatness known as independent wrestling. Independent wrestling has turned into one of my biggest passions. Please enjoy!
