The Widowmaker Society

The Widowmaker Society is a WWA faction led by Cassie Kade, with Kasumi O'Brian and Kelly DiVanna being the other two members. The group was founded in June 2023, as a result of Cassie coming to the conclusion that she needed to forge more alliances in WWA, a decision which was hastened by a defeat to La Jefa at Onsen A Lifetime. Club Xtacy is their base of operations.
== Origins ==
The true genesis of the group was Cassie's concurrent feuds with Sheila Foster and La Jefa. In need of a tag partner for a match against the pair, she called on her sister Nikki Kade. However, the match ended in defeat, with Nikki being pinned, which led to Cassie expressing her profound disappointment in her younger sister. Cassie later decided to forge alliances with other wrestlers in WWA so she wouldn't need to rely on Nikki when facing multiple opponents.
=== Alliance between Cassie Kade and Kasumi O'Brian and feud with Lightning Nika and the Jobber Revolution ===
Kasumi O'Brian was the first to catch Cassie's eye. This resulted in Kade challenging her to a match and offering her an alliance. Kade managed to defeat Kasumi in this contest but was impressed by her opponent's performance. O'Brian later accepted Kade's offer of a partnership after Onsen A lifetime. 
The duo went on to become embroiled in a feud with Lightning Nika and the Jobber Revolution. After a number of attacks during matches, including an attack on Cassie while she was at ringside for Kasumi's first match with Nika, and an attack on Kasumi during a rematch, which resulted in a DQ. This led to a climactic dual showdown on July 10th, where Kasumi defeated Lightning Nika in a cage match, while Cassie defeated Nika's allies in the WWA's first ever Elimination handicap match earlier in the show to prevent them from interfering in Kasumi's encounter with Nika.
=== Kelly DiVanna joins the alliance ===
After being defeated by Little Beaver at Onsen A Lifetime, Kelly DiVanna didn't wait for punishment from her cousin Priscilla Divine, and instead stole a number of her valuables and ran away from the Divine Mansion. She tried to sell the antiques she took from Priscilla's home at a pawn shop, but after failing to agree a price, was attacked and robbed of the items. However, she overheard the men who attacked her mention that they owed money to Cassie Kade.
This led to DiVanna heading to Club Xtacy, where she started a fight to get Cassie's attention. During the resulting meeting between the two, Cassie discovered how her men had stolen from DiVanna to pay her. Having recently had trouble with La Jefa due to a supplier stealing from her, Cassie decided to help DiVanna, instead of making another enemy. She then offered her a place in her faction, on the condition she fight her in a match first just as Kasumi did. DiVanna accepted and Kade defeated her in a competitive match held at Club Xtacy, with Kade requiring three Kade Krushers to keep Kelly down.
=== Feud with Andi Kestrel ===
At a later date, WWA newcomer Andi Kestrel visited Club Xtacy on a night out. Unbeknownst to her, on that night Cassie was debuting her new drug, Obsidian Rush, the centrepiece of her plan to expand her organisation. However, while partying at Club Xtacy Andi went from dance partner to dance partner at a frantic rate, unknowingly preventing Cassie's dealers from making sales to a number of patrons. 
This resulted in Andi being brought to Kade, under the mistaken belief that she was an operative from a rival organisation. Upon realising this not to be the case, but that Kestrel was a wrestler, Kade arranged for her to face both O'Brian and DiVanna in a tag match, though due to Kestrel being a rookie, Kade had anticipated that it would become a handicap match due to her being unable to find a partner. 
However, Andi found a partner in the form of the hulking Lillith, much to Cassie's dismay. In the resulting match, O'Brian and DiVanna emerged victorious, but Cassie, displeased that Andi wasn't the one pinned, launched a cowardly attack on her after the match. As a result, all three members of The Widowmaker Society were slated to face Andi and two allies in a 3 vs 3 match at Clash In The Kingdom. 
Thanks to her friendship with Lillith, Andi was able to secure the first of two needed partners. For her second, she turned to Robyn McDaid, Cassie's troubled sister-in-law, who Kade had abandoned. Robyn joined Andi's team, due to an upcoming showdown of her own with Kelly DiVanna, Andi's friendship, and a desire for vengeance against Cassie.
