MLW Is Growing – Does It Need A Women’s Division Next?
If you’re paying attention to Powerbomb.tv at all, you’ve likely seen Willow Nightingale all over it. Whether it’s WWR, Beyond Wrestling or Limitless Wrestling, there are plenty of opportunities to catch her in action. Nightingale is the current NYWC Starlet Champion, a company who just held its first live stream on Powerbomb.tv at the end of September. The New York native is a two-time champion in NYWC and is closing in on 600 days with the Starlet Championship in her second reign.
Billed as “The Babe With The Power”, Nightingale is another well-rounded power wrestler. She not only moves around the ring with speed, but she’s a threat from the top rope as well making her a weapon from corner to corner. Having trained at the NYWC Academy, which boasts Zack Ryder, Trent? and Tony Nese amongst their graduates, Nightingale made her official in-ring debut in 2015. With just over three years of experience under her belt, the sky is the limit for Nightingale who has already proven herself in such a short amount of time.
Nightingale has turned over a new leaf in NYWC as of their latest offering, Till I Collapse, forming a supergroup with Kris Bishop, the NYWC Tag Team Champions The Rep, NYWC Fusion Champion Brandon Watts and NYWC Heavyweight Champion King Mega. As the longest-reigning NYWC Starlet Champion of all time, she’s thirsting for better competition on her home turf. With a venture toward Major League Wrestling, though, could Nightingale find herself an entirely new batch of wrestlers against whom to prove her worth?
As another woman on the indies who has a history in intergender matches, Nightingale could mix it up with any member of the MLW roster in search of glory for a hypothetical MLW Women’s Championship or the existing World Middleweight or World Heavyweight Championships.
