WOW hosted the first Over-The-Top Rope Championship Battle Royal since crowning its very first WOW World Champion, Terri Gold, in 2000. The rules are the same, one ring, 12 women enter, 11 competitors will be eliminated over the top rope when both feet hit the floor and only one will stand at the end as the WOW World Champion.
It’s the year 2000, the year of the new millennium. WOW – Women of Wrestling is showcasing well known superheroes from GLOW, as well as a new era of female athletes. In a booming voice David McLane announces the start of Battle Royal competition, and 20 women begin a battle for their legacy. Each competitor has one goal in mind – to make history in a single match and become the first ever WOW World Champion. But this match is no ordinary match. This match is a minefield of ring warriors trying to eliminate each other at no expense, anything goes. The referees can only eliminate a competitor when they’ve gone over the top rope, and their feet hit the ground.
After several Superheroes are eliminated from competition, an elite few remain to battle it out. The high-flying Jungle Grrrl is sent over the third rope and is subsequently eliminated. 20 year wrestling veteran, Thug, sends “The Perfect 10” Terri Gold over the top rope. It all comes down to long time bitter rivals Thug and “The Real Deal” Selina Majors. But suddenly, the referee notices that Terri Gold’s feet never hit the floor! Gold was able to grab the top rope and suspend herself above the floor, stalling elimination. Thug and Majors start exchanging blows, but Majors gets the upper hand and sends Thug flying over the top rope. Majors thinks she’s become the first WOW World Champion, but, in an act of revenge, Thug slides back into the ring with a steel chair, nailing Majors and taking her out of Battle Royal action. As Thug boasts her victory with her back turned, Terri Gold is able to “skin the cat”, flipping over the top rope and landing in the middle of the ring. In a quick maneuver, Gold drop kicks Thug over the top rope and out of the ring to become the last woman standing, the winner of the Battle Royal, and the first WOW World Champion!!
This history is etched into the gold title that passes from Champion to Champion, and it’s finally found its way back to the Battle Royal stage. As David McLane, the very man who started it all, announces the second ever Battle Royal competition, one can’t help but take in the full circle moment. New and old faces crowd the WOW ring as the 2025 Battle Royal commences. Abilene Maverick sits at the commentary table to talk up her new recruit Paola Mayfield, the Colombian G.O.A.T., and Samantha Smart and Lana Star wait anxiously at ringside to see how their clients will fare. After a rollercoaster of action Tormenta and The Classmaster are the last two to face off. Competing with an entirely different set of skills from each other, one standing at a massive 6 ‘2 with power and strength, the other with quick agility and a lucha libre background, the tension starts to heat up. Tormenta seems to have the upper hand, and as she sends The Classmaster over the top rope, she already starts celebrating her win. But no! Samantha Smart gives The Classmaster a shove and back into the ring she goes, escaping elimination! Seizing the opportunity to take Tormenta by surprise while she’s still falsely celebrating, The Classmaster grabs hold of Tormenta and sends her sailing over the top rope and onto the floor. Just like that The Classmaster has become the new WOW World Champion and the second ever Battle Royal winner. Welcome to the reign of IQ Superior.
