Ray–Newell rivalry

The Kay Lee Ray–Nixon Newell rivalry was a women's professional wrestling rivalry throughout the 2010s. They began feuding in 2017 with a no holds barred match at the Thunderstrike pay-per-view. Their next meeting would be during the tournament to crown a new BCW Women's Champion after an injury to Bea Priestley caused her to vacate, this ended in a double countout after they continued to brawl outside the ring and this led to both women being eliminated from the tournament. They continued to have brutal matches on Meltdown and Revolution until a hardcore match was announced for the 2nd Anniversary Show, a match which Ray won and was described as the most brutal and bloodiest women's matches ever. This was originally supposed to end the feud once and for all but after Ray cost Newell a match against women's champion Jamie Hayter they collided for one final time in BCW in a Cage of Death match described as more brutal than their hardcore match. The feud ended once and for all when both joined the WWE around the same time in 2018. BCW owner James Harrison called the rivarly one of the most important of the early days of BCW. Six years after their final match in BCW they will renew the rivalry in a hardcore match at Ground Zero.
