With the rash of allegations of sexual misconduct rampant in the pro wrestling industry over the past week during the #SpeakingOut movement, many promotions have been quick to add more women in positions of authority in their organization. On Monday, Schadenfreude & Friends, the promotion started by Chris Brookes, Kid Lykos, Kyle Fletcher, and Mark Davis in 2019 and based out of Manchester, England, has announced that UK indie wrestler Aleah James has joined the company’s organizational team.
Effective immediately we’re adding Aleah James to the organisational team behind our shows.

The company also stated that they “appreciate presently it’s a male-exclusive outfit and we want to rectify that and open up a broader view/input into all decisions and practices and also more options for anyone to reach out to should they have any concerns with regards to safety.”
Looking forward to working with you all!!! 🎉 https://t.co/bhQusc7gay
