WOW Recap (2/15): New WOW Champion Crowned, Razor Takes On Faith The Lioness, Havoc In Action

David McLane welcomes us to another exciting episode of Women of Wrestling. He recaps last week's controversial main event finish, when Jungle Grrrl and WOW champion Santana Garrett both pinned Tessa Blanchard in a triple-threat matchup. McLane explains that while Jungle Grrrl had the lateral pin, Garrett prevented Blanchard's legs from being able to kick-out, and that the title would not be awarded to any competitor until the referees reviewed the tape. "Tonight...the long-awaited decision is made," claims McLane. He introduces Jungle Grrrl first. McLlane then tells the fans that Santana Garrett is not in the arena tonight due to the despicable acts from Tessa Blanchard onto Garrett's father. McLane then introduces...Tessa Blanchard. While Tessa makes her way to the ring, commentary informs us that Jungle Grrrl and Blanchard will battle in singles-action to determine who the new WOW champion is.

Blanchard gets on the mic and berates Santana Garrett for not being there, claiming that she really didn't show up because she's afraid of her. Blanchard states that she's willing to wrestle anyone in WOW...the biggest and the baddest.

The Beast comes out! "You want the biggest...you want the baddest....well here I am," growls the Beast. Blanchard fires back. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Blanchard starts a shoving Jungle Grrrl....Jungle Grrrl tries to slam Blanchard but the Beast interrupts and starts trading shots with Jungle Grrrl. Blanchard slips to the outside and let's the two bigger superheroes go at it.

A vignette for Havoc plays highlighting her journey into WOW. Havoc says when she first got into the business 15 years ago, women weren't taken very seriously, and reveals that she was constantly judged because of her physical stature. She admits that she really struggled in the beginning trying to discover her identity. "It wasn't until years later that I realized I needed to be who I wanted to be," says Havoc. Havoc claims that the only reason a women's evolution happened is because she put in the work for years terrifying opponents and getting the wrestling universe to see what women can do inside the squared circle.

We reach our first commercial break of the evening.

Shaul Guerrero is in the ring to announce our first matchup of the night.
