Back in January, <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/01\/07\/lisa-marie-varon-wwes-victoria-impacts-tara-announces-retirement-at-end-of-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lisa announced that 2019 would be her final year as an active wrestler<\/a>. She\u2019s since gone on a bit of a farewell tour, signing on to debut for many companies including WWR. Lisa is a two-time WWE Women\u2019s Champion and a five-time TNA Knockouts Champion. Her career has spanned nearly 19 years, as she started wrestling back in June of 2000. She\u2019s a product of <strong>Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW)<\/strong>, some other famous students are <strong>John Cena, Samoa Joe<\/strong>, and <strong>Christopher Daniels<\/strong>. Lisa turned many heads early in her career, as has her opponent <strong>Kris Statlander<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Kris Statlander is a product of the Long Island-based school <strong>Create-A-Pro-Wrestler<\/strong>. With less than two years in the business, she\u2019s showing everyone how extraterrestrial she is. Kris has become a regular in WWR and its sister promotion, <strong>Beyond Wrestling<\/strong>. She also appears in promotions such as <strong>New York Wrestling Connection (NYWC), Black Label Pro (BLP), BriiCombination Wrestling (BCW), Limitless Wrestling<\/strong>, and <strong>Victory Pro Wrestling (VPW)<\/strong>. Like Varon, she is a two-time women\u2019s champion, but for VPW. These two will surely put on a great match at Widowmaker.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Bird &amp; The Bee (Solo Darling &amp; Willow Nightingale) vs. Veda Scott &amp; Allie Kat<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38721\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38721\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38721\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/02\/Dzu9xTwW0AAwumH-e1550543695214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38721\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: WWR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fresh off their major win at <strong>Tournament for Tomorrow<\/strong>, the <strong>Bird and the Bee<\/strong> return to WWR. <strong>Solo Darling<\/strong> and <strong>Willow Nightingale<\/strong> have been proving themselves as quite the formidable unit. They\u2019ve expanded their resume to include <strong>CHIKARA<\/strong> where they also were winners, capturing two points at <em><strong>National Pro Wrestling Day 2019<\/strong><\/em>. Their opponents are <strong>Veda Scott<\/strong> and <strong>Allie Kat<\/strong>. Allie is making her return to WWR after more than a year, she was last seen in 2017. She\u2019s kept busy though, working for promotions such as BLP and <strong>NOVA Pro Wrestling<\/strong>, among others. Veda has been on a bit of a world tour, coming off tours in Japan, the United Kingdom, and Europe. The two have never teamed before but perhaps their love of cats will help them forge a bond.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sonya Strong (w\/ Violette) vs. Karissa Rivera<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38724\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38724\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38724\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/02\/DzuwNhoWkAAxyhe-e1550543716587.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: WWR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Sonya Strong<\/strong> still has issues to be settled with <strong>Team Adams<\/strong>. <strong>Damien Adam<\/strong>s\u2019 latest prot\u00e9g\u00e9e is <strong>Karissa Rivera<\/strong>. Sonya\u2019s war with Team Adams stretches back to August of 2018 and will continue here. Sonya is also the current <strong>House of Glory<\/strong> Women\u2019s Champion. Rivera is young in her career but has a great pedigree. She is a second-generation wrestler; her father <strong>Steve King<\/strong> was a wrestler and competed for WWE as enhancement talent. Karissa has also been trained by arguably one of the best trainers in wrestling right now. Damien Adams has trained people such as <strong>Tasha Steelz, Karen Q<\/strong> and <strong>Deonna Purrazzo<\/strong>. The latter two are now with WWE. Karissa has also worked with WWE, having faced <strong>Lacey Evans<\/strong> on an episode of NXT. At <em>Widowmaker<\/em>, will Sonya finally get her problems with Team Adams sorted out? Or will Karissa\u2019s start continue to rise?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Allysin Kay vs. Skylar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38725\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38725\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38725\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/02\/DzuwNhqX0AAkgw_-e1550543986685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38725\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: WWR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Allysin Kay, current <strong>Shine Wrestling<\/strong> Champion, will make her WWR debut as well. The former <strong>IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong> Knockout has also been a staple for major women\u2019s promotions such as <strong>Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU)<\/strong> and <strong>SHIMMER Women Athletes<\/strong>. The Detroit native will have a size advantage over her opponent, the hot scoop <strong>Skylar<\/strong>. AK is a towering 5\u201910, whereas Skylar is around the 5\u20193 mark. Skylar doesn\u2019t let those types of things discourage her though, she has heart and confidence in spades. The red-headed lady may only have three years to her credit thus far, but she has taken on many great opponents and won. She holds wins over WWR regulars like <strong>Kimber Lee<\/strong> and <strong>Davienne<\/strong>. One thing is for sure, Allysin Kay will have her hands full at <em>Widowmaker<\/em> with Skylar.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>BC\/AD (Terra Calaway &amp; Harlow O&#8217;Hara) vs. Team Sea Stars (Delmi Exo &amp; Ashley Vox)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38720\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38720\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38720\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/02\/Dzu9xTnWsAAt_IQ-e1550544041124.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: WWR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In our next tag team bout scheduled for <em>WWR Widowmaker<\/em>, we have two established teams. <strong>BC\/AD<\/strong> is the team of <strong>Terra Callaway<\/strong> and <strong>Harlow O\u2019Hara<\/strong>. They had previously been dubbed <strong>Gothicc<\/strong>, but have now decided on a much longer moniker that is abbreviated to BC\/AD. The Queen of Dinosaurs and the High Priestess of the Church of Harlow may have only teamed together a handful of times but work well together. Their opponents, the <strong>Sea Stars<\/strong>, have worked together many times. <strong>Delmi Exo<\/strong> and <strong>Ashley Vox<\/strong> have teamed together since 2015. So, while the Sea Stars have the advantage in terms of team experience, BC\/AD have the size advantage. Both Terra and Harlow are powerful wrestlers which will be tough for the Sea Stars to overcome.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Maria Manic vs. Leyla Hirsch<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38722\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38722\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38722\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/02\/Dzu27ECWsAE7GM2-e1550544118487.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38722\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: WWR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In our final announced match at <em>Widowmaker<\/em>, we have one more debut. Leyla Hirsch is a relatively new face in wrestling, having made her debut in late 2017. Prior to getting into pro wrestling, she was an amateur wrestler. She is a student of <strong>DJ Hyde<\/strong> and the <strong>Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW)<\/strong> <strong>Academy<\/strong>. Despite her short amount of time in the business, she\u2019s recently taken on some huge names and won. At <em><strong>CZW Cage of Death 20<\/strong><\/em> she took on <strong>Mercedes Martinez<\/strong>, and recently at <em><strong>CZW Twenty<\/strong><\/em>, she defeated <strong>LuFisto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here Leyla will take on another tough competitor in Maria Manic. <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/01\/11\/indie-watch-maria-manic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maria Manic<\/a> is also a newer face on the scene, has been wrestling for almost four years. While Leyla may have the technical wrestling advantage, Maria has the power advantage. The Maneater has and will dominate anyone she would like to. This one will be one to watch to peek into the future of women\u2019s wrestling.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38719\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38719\" style=\"width: 338px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38719\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/02\/DznvnvrX0AAL1Ce-1-e1550544132589.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"600\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: WWR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Also scheduled to appear are <strong>Riley Shepard<\/strong> and WWR&#8217;s slugger, Davienne.
