HERE’S A HELPFUL INFOGRAPHIC WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.

We get a lot of questions about the #PWI500, #Womens150, and #TagTeam100 (fka #TagTeam50) and the potential overlap between each. Here’s an infographic explaining who you’ll find on each list, plus the release dates for this year’s editions.

And here’s a short blog by our Editor-in-Chief, Kevin McElvaney, explaining those overall categories a little further, focusing in particular on gendered divisions and the challenges those present in creating an honest, yet equitable ranking based on in-ring achievement (kayfabe).

PWI’s Candace Cordelia To Present Network Championship Belt At Capital Championship Wrestling: Glory

PWI’S CANDACE CORDELIA TO PRESENT NETWORK CHAMPIONSHIP BELT AT CAPITAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING: GLORY

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, March 26, Capital Championship Wrestling returns with a huge night of action in Houston, Delaware, with a show called “Glory.” On a night full of huge women’s matches, all eyes will be on the CCW Network championship bout, where a new champion will be crowned in a Gauntlet match—and PWI’s own Candace Cordelia Smith will be there to present the winner with their new title belt.

CCW, a growing women’s wrestling promotion, has become increasingly visible even outside of the Mid-Atlantic region. And, with this show taking place during Women’s History Month, Glory is likely its most notable show yet. As it stands now, the card is as follows:

  • CCW Championship Match: Christina Marie vs. KiLynn King
  • NWA World Women’s Championship: Kamille vs. Allie Katch
  • Savanna Stone vs. Catalina Garcia
  • Gia Scott & Vita Von Starr vs. Willow Nightingale & Edith Surreal

But the focal point of the show, even with the NWA World Women’s title on the line, may very well be the CCW Network Championship Gauntlet Match.

Competitors announced for the gauntlet match include: Ashley D’Amboise, Kayla Sparks, Brittany Black, Scarlett, Rebecca Scott, Kat Spencer, Edith Surreal, and Devlyn Macabre.

“It’s truly an honor to present the CCW Network championship to the victor of the Gauntlet Match,” said PWI Contributing Writer Candace Cordelia Smith. “Each wrestler in this match is a force to behold, and I can’t wait to see which one of them takes the title.”

CCW: Glory takes place this Saturday, March 26, at 6 p.m. EST at 143 Broad Street, Houston, Delaware. The show will be available via Video On Demand on the Title Match Network shortly thereafter.
