Willow Nightingale will face Vertvixen tonight on the latest episode of AEW Dark Elevation which premieres on the AEW YouTube channel at 7 p.m. EST.

Both wrestlers work at Capital Championship Wrestling (CCW) which often holds events in Houston, DE as doubleheaders with 1CW Pro Wrestling. I have been covering CCW wrestlers and events for the past couple of months but I wanted to give some more background on the company.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated published an article in February 2022 on CCW:

The all-women promotion, owned by Marchello Squirewell, was founded in 2021. However, within a short amount of time, CCW has captured the attention of wrestling fans seeking to satiate their hunger for more women’s wrestling matches. As a Black man, Marchello’s proprietorship of CCW holds major significance, and having CCW Battleground take place during Black History Month is equally noteworthy.

Be sure to read the whole article I’ve excerpted above.

Willow Nightingale has also appeared on AEW and ROH in addition to wrestling at CCW. She started out on the indy circuit at New York Wrestling Connection and also wrestled at Shimmer. Other places she wrestled at least once included Chikara, Queens of Combat, and Women’s Wrestling Revolution. She was ranked #40 in PWI Women’s 150 for 2022.

You can watch Willow Nightingale vs. Leila Grey on a recent AEW Rampage here:

Vertvixen has been wrestling since 2019 and has an athletic background in Tae Kwon Do and softball. She has wrestled at several promotions in the past three years and is currently the DEFY women’s champion.

This is Vertvixen’s highlight reel:

I plan to see both CCW and 1CW in action soon, so I will definitely be covering CCW more in the months to come.
