Pretty Empowered picked up some year end awards from New South Pro Wrestling. Kylie Alexa was named Rookie of the Year, as she has had an incredible year, not only in New South, but all over the south and in NWA. Kylie’s sister and fellow Pretty Empowered member, Kenzie Paige took home match of the year for her match against Hunter Drake and Dillon McQueen in a triple threat steel cage match.
Paris Van Dale and Shannon Levangie thought Kennedi Copeland had no friends, but her homie, the gnomie, Gabby Forza proved that to be incorrect this past week. As a matter of fact, Kennedi found another friend too. Kennedi will be teaming with Gabby and Notorious Mimi to take on PVD, Shannon and Zayda Steel at Wrestling Open’s “Last Stand” on Thursday, December 28th.
Jordan Blade has said that she is the measuring stick of Paradigm Pro Wrestling, and she will have to prove it, as she will be having three separate matches at “Project Gemini” on January 5th.

In the continuation of multiple rivalries that have been ongoing in GCW, Maki Itoh and Bussy (Effy and Allie Katch) will take on Deathmatch Royalty (Matt Cardona, Steph De Lander, and Jimmy Lloyd) at “No Compadre” on January 12th in Chicago. Also scheduled for this show is Rina Yamashita against John Wayne Murdoch.

Journey Burke will make her PPW debut on January 13th at “Freeze Frame.” Journey, who was trained by Mike Bailey, is an attorney, and has been making quite a name for herself. She is looking to break out in 2024 and that starts at PPW and live on Premier Streaming Network.
In what should be a very entertaining match, Maki Itoh will take on Tony Deppen at GCW’s “56 Birdz” on January 13th in Columbus, Ohio.

At “Any Given Sunday” there will be a number 1 contender ladder match which Haley Dylan will be part of, and a Smash Wrestling Women’s Championship match where Dream Girl Ellie will defend the championship against Seleziya Sparx with Nikita as the special guest referee.
The first KFW show under the control of the Paige sisters, “Off Tha Hook” will take place on January 26th, and Kylie is not giving herself an easy night. Pretty Empowered, Kylie Paige and Ella Envy, will defend their NWA Women’s Tag Team Championship against Roxy and Brittany Jade.
