- 26 Years Ago: Jacqueline Defeats Sable to Reignite the WWE Women’s Championship
It was a wild night on Monday Night Raw 26 years ago, when Jacqueline made history by defeating Sable to claim the WWE Women’s Championship. But this wasn’t just any title win—it was the revival of a belt that had been MIA for years, collecting dust after one of the most controversial moments in wrestling history. On this night, Jacqueline didn't just win a match; she jump-started the women’s division and kicked the door wide open for a new era of fierce, competitive female athletes. The Women’s Championship—Tossed in the Trash! To really appreciate Jacqueline’s win, you’ve got to rewind to 1995. WWE’s Women’s Championship was prestigious, but it hit a shocking low when then-champion Alundra Blayze (a.k.a. Madusa in WCW) dropped the title—literally. In one of the most jaw-dropping moments of the Monday Night Wars, Madusa walked onto WCW Nitro and threw the WWE Women’s Championship into a trash can on live TV. The message was clear: women’s wrestling in WWE was in trouble. And for years, the title was abandoned, with no champion in sight. Fast forward three years to the heart of WWE’s Attitude Era, and the company was ready to bring the Women’s Championship back with a vengeance. Enter Sable, the stunning blonde who had fans eating out of the palm of her hand, and Jacqueline, a no-nonsense powerhouse who wasn’t here to play games—she was here to win. Jacqueline vs. Sable: A Battle for the Ages The stakes were high when these two women clashed in the ring. Sable, already a megastar, was beloved by fans for her looks and sass, but Jacqueline? She was the real deal. Tough as nails, with a wrestling background that could go toe-to-toe with anyone, Jacqueline was out to prove that she was more than just a challenger—she was a champion. When the dust settled, it was Jacqueline who had her hand raised in victory, securing the Women’s Championship and making her mark as the first woman to hold the title since it had been tossed in the trash by Madusa. Jacqueline wasn’t just the champion of the moment; she was a trailblazer who reignited the Women’s Division when it needed it most. Jacqueline’s Legacy: A True Trailblazer Let’s be clear—Jacqueline’s victory was about more than just winning a belt. It was about taking women’s wrestling to a whole new level. She became the first African American woman to hold the WWE Women’s Championship, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations of female athletes. In an era where women’s wrestling was often overshadowed by the glitz and glamor of the Attitude Era, Jacqueline brought credibility and fire to the division. Her reign might have lasted only two months, but the impact was long-lasting. Jacqueline’s toughness, skill, and determination set a standard for what it meant to be a champion. She wasn’t just eye candy or a sidekick—she was a legit competitor, proving that the Women’s Division could be as intense and entertaining as anything the men were doing. Sable vs. Jacqueline: A Rivalry That Reignited the Division The rivalry between Jacqueline and Sable became one of the hottest storylines in WWE at the time. Fans couldn’t get enough of the contrast between Sable’s glam and Jacqueline’s grit. It was a perfect storm that brought the Women’s Championship back into the spotlight, and even though Sable would eventually win the belt later that year, it was Jacqueline’s victory that lit the fuse. Their matches showcased that women could put on compelling in-ring performances, making the Women’s Division more than just an afterthought. And soon, the stage was set for future icons like Trish Stratus, Lita, and later the likes of Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch to take women’s wrestling to new heights. The Spark That Ignited Women’s Wrestling Looking back, Jacqueline’s win was more than just a match—it was a turning point. When she held that Women’s Championship high, it was a sign that women’s wrestling was back, and it was here to stay. She was the spark that helped light the fire for everything that would follow in WWE’s Women’s Division, from the iconic feuds of the early 2000s to the Women’s Revolution we see today. So, as we celebrate 26 years since Jacqueline’s groundbreaking win, we remember it as a moment that set the tone for everything to come. It wasn’t just about the title; it was about respect, recognition, and reinvention. Jacqueline didn't just claim a belt that night—she redefined what it meant to be a WWE Women’s Champion.
- Athena's Dominance in Ring of Honor: A Champion for the Ages
Athena has become a cornerstone of Ring of Honor's (ROH) women's division, leaving an indelible mark on the promotion. Holding the ROH Women's World Championship for over 646 days, Athena has not only established herself as a dominant force in the company but has also elevated the prestige of the title and the division as a whole. Her reign has been marked by consistent in-ring excellence, compelling storylines, and a deep connection with fans, solidifying her as one of the most important figures in ROH today. The Rise of Athena in ROH Athena’s journey to ROH glory began after she departed from WWE, where she had already proven herself as one of the most talented and charismatic performers in the business. With a background in various independent promotions and a stint in WWE where she captured the NXT Women’s Championship, Athena brought a wealth of experience to ROH. Her signing with the company in 2021 was met with significant anticipation, as fans knew that she would elevate the women’s division to new heights. From her first match in ROH, it was clear that Athena was determined to make an impact. She showcased her versatility, with an explosive in-ring style that combined high-flying moves, technical wrestling, and sheer power. Athena's ability to adapt to any opponent, whether it be veteran talents or up-and-coming stars, set her apart from the rest of the division. Her mix of agility, strength, and striking prowess made her one of the most unpredictable wrestlers in the company. The Historic Championship Reign Athena's reign as the ROH Women's World Champion, which has surpassed an astounding 657 days, stands as a testament to her resilience, consistency, and importance to the company. Few champions in modern wrestling can boast such a long and successful run with a major title, and Athena’s reign has been nothing short of remarkable. Her championship run has seen her face a wide variety of challengers, from seasoned veterans to rising stars, all eager to dethrone her. Each time, Athena has found a way to overcome the odds, whether through sheer athleticism, cunning strategy, or relentless perseverance. Some of her most memorable defenses have been against competitors like Mercedes Martinez, Willow Nightingale, and Trish Adora. These matches have not only been high-caliber displays of wrestling but have also helped to define Athena's reign as one that brings out the best in her opponents. Elevating the ROH Women’s Division One of the most significant aspects of Athena's reign is the role she has played in elevating the entire ROH women's division. Her long title run has brought stability and prestige to the championship, making it one of the most sought-after prizes in women’s wrestling. The division, which had previously struggled to find a consistent identity, has flourished under Athena’s leadership. Athena’s feuds have been well-crafted, with each rivalry adding a layer of depth to her character and enhancing the stories within the division. Whether she’s playing the role of the valiant champion or veering into more aggressive territory, Athena has managed to keep fans invested in her journey. This level of storytelling, combined with her undeniable in-ring ability, has made her the centerpiece of the division. Her influence also extends beyond just her matches. Athena has become a role model for younger talents in ROH, providing guidance and inspiration to those looking to make their mark in the wrestling world. She’s shown that a champion is not just someone who holds a title, but someone who elevates everyone around them. A Legacy in the Making As Athena’s reign continues past the 646-day mark, her legacy in ROH is already cemented. She has proven to be more than just a dominant champion; she is a transformative figure in the company’s history. Fans and wrestlers alike have been captivated by her work ethic, dedication, and ability to constantly evolve as a performer. With each passing defense, Athena’s reign grows more legendary, and the target on her back gets larger. As new challengers emerge, the question remains: who will finally end her historic run? Regardless of when that day comes, Athena's contributions to ROH will be felt for years to come, and she will be remembered as one of the greatest champions the promotion has ever seen. In a time when women’s wrestling is more competitive and visible than ever, Athena’s accomplishments in ROH stand as a beacon of excellence. Her reign is not just a personal achievement, but a triumph for the entire ROH women’s division, and her continued dominance ensures that both she and the title will be forever etched in the annals of wrestling history.

- House of Style: Taya Valkyrie Edition
Taya Valkyrie has always been gifted in the ring. However, she has another amazing talent. Her keen fashion sense always adds something special to her in-ring persona. Women’s Wrestling Talk wants to go down memory lane, to show the many looks that Taya has had throughout her journey in wrestling. How these looks always told a story. AAA Wrestling: Wera Loca Era During her time in AAA Wrestling, Taya had a lot to prove. She was the only woman in an all-male stable Los Perros del Mal and needed to prove herself as someone who was not to be messed with. She had a badass look with the signature bandana, blonde and red hair, a jeweled bralette and dark jeans. Very Chola and certainly made her stand out from the luchadors on the roster. Very quickly Taya earned her stripes and the nickname Wera Loca. Lucha Underground Era: Lucha Underground was a time for Taya to bring out more of a character-based gimmick, while still staying true to what made her popular in AAA. We start to see fur coats and boots during her time in Lucha Underground. Definitely fits the style of her tag partner in the company, Johnny Mundo. Impact Wrestling Championship Era: Elsa Inspired gear from Taya as a villain at this particular era in her career, Taya took on the role of an ice queen and wore the crown proudly. This also spelled a very successful first run in Impact. NXT Franky Monet: This NXT era brought on a new character and a new look. A glamorous, valley girl that came with her own accessories. Including a pocket-sized dog. Franky Monet was the Beverly Hills, Starbucks, Gucci purse wearing character that I’m sure Taya was excited to explore. Return to AAA: After her stint in NXT, Taya Valkyrie went back to her roots and walked back into AAA wrestling looking better than ever in the ring and proved that the Wera Loca was back. The over-the-top costuming was back with puffy robes that made her look larger than life and the belle of the ball. Taya was welcomed back by fans with open arms. Return to Impact: After dipping her toe back into AAA wrestling, Taya felt that something was missing, a little bit of gold that used to adorn her waist. Oh, that’s right, her AAA Reina de Reinas Championship. So she had to go back to Impact Wrestling and get it. We see a serious, hair pinned back, blazer-wearing, Taya make her impact return and fulfill her mission to become a four-time Reina de Reinas champion. The Death Dollz faction After capturing several championships after returning to the indie scene and Impact Wrestling, it seemed like Taya wanted to take a break from the solo title hunt and have some fun. So she joined forces with Jessicka and Rosemary and became the Death Dollz and really took it to the other Knockouts. The brightly colored dressed, yet imposing team made you want to run off to Hot Topic and copy their look whenever they were on screen. MLW Featherweight Champion Era: Taya’s return to the indies with a stop in MLW and she quickly captured the featherweight title and dazzled in her amazing in-ring attire. Usually a singlet with a peek-a-poo look to the midsection accompanied by a badass jacket. AEW Era: It is no surprise that a lot of fans felt that Taya’s star had risen even more as she was dominating the indie scene and collecting more titles than Thanos was collecting gem stones. So when AEW signed her, it was no shock to the fans. Taya brought that amazing ring attire that we know her for and even added in some new looks with the long flowing black jackets covered in chains and rings and black body suits. Very bold attire to fit with that experienced, confident Taya who had her sights on taking the TBS championship from Jade Cargill. There’s no denying that Taya has a great sense of style. She studied fashion at the art academy based in San Francisco to give her all of the tools that she needed to start her own fashion line Loca. Regardless of what your favourite era of fashion Taya has showcased, one thing is for sure, there are so many more evolutions in Taya’s style still to come! Check out our interview with Taya and John Morrison from a while ago:
- The Golden One: Cassandra Golden
A talented woman who has been trained by Lance Storm and Action Jackson. With seven years of experience, Casandra Golden has held the CWFM women’s championship, the XIW women’s championship, bayou wrestling and the All-Caribbean women’s title. She is someone to keep your eyes on as a future star. Hailing from Little Rock Arkansas, Cassandra made her debut in 2017. Since her debut, Cassandra has been making the rounds on the indie scene. Memphis Wrestling Cassandra has been an important part of the recent women’s roster in Memphis Wrestling. Facing off against women like Nyxx, Diana Taylor, Amber Rodriquez and current women’s champion Mackenzie Morgan. Even holding the women’s title belt in 2022. Also having the honor of being the first woman to enter the Grind City Rumble in 2021. All Caribbean Wrestling In this promotion, Cassandra has shown that she can really win the fans over with her radiant personality that truly resonates with a crowd. While still bringing it as a dominant competitor. Even when she’s facing off against powerhouses like WOAD and Vanessa Kraven. Cassandra became the All-Caribbean Women’s champion when she faced off against Mazzerati this past September. All Caribbean Wrestling has showcased the golden one well and I see a noteworthy title run for her in this promotion. AEW debut Cassandra Golden was able to compete against one of AEW’s best in the women’s division, Hikaru Shida on AEW Dark in 2020. In this match, Cassandra really showed off her strength. With her height and stature, she has an advantage over Shida in many parts of this match. Even though she didn’t win the match, Cassandra showed that she was able to hang with the 2nd highest-ranked women in the company at that time. This great showing allowed Cassandra the opportunity to face off against Allie and Britt Baker a few months after. Impact Wrestling Debut Cassandra Golden was able to have some time in Impact when she made her debut in April 2020 against Kylie Rae. All of these accolades and victories prove that The Golden One is someone to watch!
