Red Velvet had a chance a couple of weeks ago to upset Serena Deeb for the <strong>NWA<\/strong> Women&#8217;s World Championship. That was a solid match which ultimately saw Deeb retain her title. Meanwhile, Diamante has been a regular on Dark and Elevation, performing well against enhancement workers, but coming up short in matches against bigger-name talent like <strong>Kris Statlander<\/strong> and <strong>&#8220;Legit&#8221; Leyla Hirsch<\/strong>. The winner of this match could end up being the next breakout star of the women&#8217;s division, so check out Dark tonight to see who comes out on top.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
