Yelena Marquez

Yelena Marquez is a professional-wrestler currently signed to CWL's green brand, Genesis. She wrestles for FnF as well.

## Intergalactic Space Force Service

Yelena Marquez enlisted into the Intergalactic Space Force at 20 years old. With no clear path in life for her after secondary school, Yelena was trying everything, from University to the work force, Yelena couldn't stick somewhere that fit her.

One day, she saw an ad for the new Intergalactic Space Force; intrigued, she went their website but upon further inspection, deducted it that it was a joke site. Moments later she was called by a mysterious number who said that she was apart of a select few who have been selected to be the first members of the International Space Force. Not long after, Yelena would find herself enjoying what she was doing. Being selected to be apart of the force gave her a sense of confidence and pride. With this confidence and new found talent, Yelena would go above and beyond during her missions in outer-space, sometimes over achieving.

Ten years into her time as a soldier, Marquez managed to defend an entire solar system all by herself with only minor injuries sustained. This act was so courageous that the space-force had to create an award in her honor; naming Marquez the Inaugural Universal Medal Of Honor Recipient. However, after receiving this medal, Mrs. Marquez thought she could do anything. A year and a half after receiving the Universal Medal of Honor, during a mission, Yelena spotted a family being cornered by an infamous War-Lord, despite her better judgement she decided to take the War-Lord on alone. This proved to be a grand mistake as her run-in resulted in her receiving a huge scar, spanning from her belly button to her shoulders. Thankfully, her comrades were able to spot her and come in to help her, however the War-Lord escaped at the site of backup, as they too were wounded. This encounter did bring Yelena to the brink of death, which she was awarded a Space-Force Purple Heart for.

Months after, Yelena decided to leave the force after her contract ended. After being defeated in battle, she realized that she has to be able to protect herself and others in one-on-one combat. Stopping full-scale military fleets was definitely something for her to be proud of, but it didn't satisfy her anymore. After hearing about the various other-worldly and evil beings in professional wrestling, Yelena Marquez decided to try it out herself.

## World Warriors Association (WWA)

Being a new wrestler in the new promotion WWA, was a match made in heaven. In her first outing in the promotion, Yelena Marquez was able to capture the WWA Women's Championship from Kumiyo Ishimoto. The following week she lost to Lazara Morgan, but was able to regain her championship quickly in the following major Live From The Garden (2022), where Lazara lost before the finals of that major's tournament. Yelena Marquez would lose her championship to Zoe Raven. Despite unsuccessfully defending her championship twice, WWA was where Yelena Marquez was really able to become a pro-wrestling standout; gaining a notable following, respect amongst her peers, and most importantly, a sizeable amount of in-ring experience. Yelena Marquez's initial success in the WWA can only be described as being in the right place at the right time.

WWA Major Tournaments Yelena Marquez has qualified for are:

Live from the Garden (2022)

Fuck You Pay Me (2022)

## CWL: Genesis [Season 2] (2022 - present)

#### Cutting The Head Off Of The Yakuza

Despite being brand new to the business, Yelena Marquez was quickly adapting to the Genesis roster. Within weeks, she caught the eye of the head of the Yakuza, Hisano. Hisano would try to coerce Yelena to join her group, by sending Sin Tsu out with Marquez to scout her and even challenging her to a Queen Genesis Championship match at the Rivals PPV (2022), with the added stipulation of Yelena joining Hisano's group if the Yakuza Killer won. However, Natalia would challenge Hisano instead, much to the delight of Yelena, stating that she would love to see Natalia put Hisano in her place, unfortunately for Mrs. Marquez, Hisano beat Natalia at the Rivals PPV. The Yakuza Killer didn't quit though; she put together a tag team match with Yelena as her partner where the duo lost. The constant attempts from Hisano made Yelena very angry, telling the Queen of Genesis to focus on defending her championship instead of focusing on her. The following Genesis episode, Hisano defended her crown against DOOM; the Yakuza Killer made sure to show-boat in front of the Intergalactic Space Solider, but it cost her the Queen of Genesis championship. Following that match, the two women held a sit-down interview where they discussed their recent altercations; Hisano, now angry herself, wanted the match with Marquez even more, but without her championship, Yelena didn't want to oblige to the Yakuza Killer's request. So, in an act of desperation, Hisano put out the challenge for the two to have an extreme rules match, if Hisano won Yelena would have to join the Yakuza, but if Yelena won Hisano would have to leave Genesis, to which Yelena happily agreed to. And in the main event of Genesis 2.35, after a brutal contest and 3 Divine Interventions, Yelena Marquez was able to defeat Hisano and take her out of Genesis once and for all.

#### Pursuit of Championship

##### Queen Of Genesis

The week following Hisano's expulsion from Genesis, Yelena was in a a fatal 4-way no.1 contender match for the Queen Of Genesis Championship. Bebe Ka$h won that contender's match by pinning Yelena Marquez, and then she went on to defeat the then Queen Of Genesis: DOOM. Yelena thought Bebe was worthy of being champion since Ka$h pinned Marquez to become the contender for the championship she would eventually win. With this confidence in the champion, Yelena wished to test the rest of the roster and put her pursuit of being champion on hold. Jasmin Kaffee was looking for a fight and Yelena was more than happy to answer her but this rubbed the "Head Bestie" the wrong way, Yelena would get a dominant victory over Kaffee, upsetting her even more. But during this time Bebe Ka$h was radio silent, the lack of presence from the Queen Of Genesis upset Yelena and made her rethink her previous thoughts towards Bebe. Yelena challenged Ka$h for her championship at the Genesis Proving Grounds PPV (2.40), and despite Marquez getting some offense of her own in, Bebe retained. Mrs. Marquez was content with this loss though, this gave her more reason to call Bebe Ka$h a worthy Queen Of Genesis.

##### Openweight Championship

After taking a break from wrestling for a few weeks, Marquez returned, claiming that there was an "evil force" coming to Genesis. At first, she believed this to be Jade Suzuki, and after defeating her, Yelena had determined that she made a mistake, and would later apology to Jade Suzuki during an interview with Ryan Porter. During that same interview, Marquez stated that there still was a threat coming to Genesis, she just needed more evidence to formally announce it. A week later, after several tweets from Empresaria Reyes, the Openweight Champion at the time, stating that the Genesis is roster is not up to par with her, Yelena Marquez announced that her next target would be Empresaria Reyes. On Genesis 2.47, Empresaria announced that she would be at the show, just a week before her All Due Respect (2.48) title defense. However, as the show went off the air, Yelena and Empresaria were seen brawling backstage.

At All Due Respect (2.48), Yelena Marquez was dominated by Empresaria Reyes. Being pinned within 5 minutes, except her hand was on the rope and the referee missed it (believed to have been payed off by Empresaria). However the match was restarted by Nastico and Yelena Marquez was able to show her resilience. While she still wasn't able to get much offense in, Marquez was able to kick out of Reyes' "Just Business", however, Yelena wasn't able to escape the "Dream Catcher", ultimately losing the championship match.

## Friday Night Fury (FnF)

Yelena Marquez debuted in FnF in an extreme triple threat debutant showcase match. The following week Yelena Marquez used a banned maneuver three times without being penalized for it; surprisingly, she still lost her 2nd consecutive match in FnF. Yelena would then be punished and not make an appearance for FnF the following. This forced Mrs. Marquez to change her move-set; another example of her adapting to the sport of professional wrestling.
