Selena Adams

Adams in 2018

Selena Adams is a professional wrestler currently not signed to the CWL

## Personal Life

Selena wanted to be a wrestler despite protests from her family. She found out about CWL when she saw Annie Thunder vs Davina Rose at American Cakeday. This caused her to become a fan of the promotion and even bought front row tickets to Endgame. She then would run away from home with nothing but her van and her wrestling gear and move to Hawaii. She used to live in said van and has since made enough off of pro wrestling to buy a house for her and her girlfriend. She’s stated on multiple occasions that Annie Thunder used to be her favourite wrestler and hero.

## Before CWL

She had only one match in her career before her start in the CWL. This was a match for her local promotion in Green Bay. She won but was fired immediately for “taking liberties” with her own safety and was considered a liability to the promotion. So her win was stricken from the record and is not counted.

## CWL

### The #BookSelena Campaign and Debut

Selena wanted to work for CWL since before Endgame 1. She started a twitter campaign called #BookSelena and this campaign got her noticed by CWL but they refused to sign her because she was too reckless and didn’t want an eighteen-year-old getting seriously hurt on their watch. But Selena stayed determined and decided to switch up her style in order to get signed. To do this she was trained by CWL superstar Michael Young who taught her a much more technical and smash mouth style. This lead to Selena finally getting signed to a 1 year contract to CWL and her first match was to be against her hero Annie Thunder at X-post. Although she lost the match she showed to be able to hang with one of the top superstars in the company. After this, she would part ways with Michael so they could both focus on their singles careers but they would remain close friends over the coming years.

### Early Days and Rivalry With Roxanne Ramirez

Selena had a few more matches in the company against the likes of Scout Mackenzie and Taylor Jones. Even though she was unable to pick up a win, she showed she could hang with the top brass. Then on week 76 of Vindication, she would go face to face with Roxanne Ramirez. The two would have a competitive match before Roxanne would knock out Selena Adams with a series of elbows. Giving her a concussion and yet another loss. This lit a fire under Selena to come back and face Roxanne. Looking to prove she would’ve won if she didn’t get knocked out. At Midsummers Mayhem 2 the two would face-off, with Selena picking up the victory and finally getting her first win in CWL by tapping out Roxxanne.

### Scout Mackenzie Apprenticeship

After the win, Selena Adams wanted to keep the momentum up. At the same time, Davina Rose was putting out an open challenge. Adams knowing she'd need all the help she could get to beat Davina, went to Scout Mackenzie for help. Mackenzie helped train Selena Adams to become a better submission wrestler so she would be ready. Lo and behold, Adams picked up her second win against Davina Rose. This partnership continued and Scout and Selena became very good friends very fast and the two developed a very close bond as student and teacher. Selena secretly revering Scout as her new hero. The high she was hiding wouldn't last long as soon she would be targeted by the villainous and dangerous Sarah LeBlanc. LeBlanc was dead set on winning Scout Mackenzie's Openweight Title and was looking to use Selena as a way to get to Scout. Adams would refuse to fight LeBlanc for weeks until finally, LeBlanc attacked Scout Mackenzie. This prompted Adams to defend her friend and begin taking the fight to LeBlanc. Adams even went as far as to defy Mackenzie's wishes to keep this an in-ring dispute, attacking Sarah LeBlanc backstage. Ashamed by this, Adams refused to keep training under Mackenzie, not wanting to disappoint her further. Adams and LeBlanc would face off at Battlelines in a street fight where Selena Adams would pick up the win over Sarah LeBlanc.

### The dwindling days of the CWL Fangirl

After winning at Battlelines, Selena Adams had earned herself a spot in the Supremacy Cup. She'd end up having quite the mixed bag of a run. She'd pick up 3 wins in the cup, 1 of which is a win over her idol at the time Annie Thunder. In the end, she didn't win her bracket and instead would fight in a 10 woman rumble match for the Openweight Title still held by Scout Mackenzie. Determined to prove to her former teacher she could be on her level. Selena would end up entering first and got eliminated before another entrant even made it in. Not even coming close to meeting with her former teacher in the ring. This lead to a heated confrontation between her and Scout backstage and is the last known meeting the two would have for many years. Over the next two months, the time was ticking on Selena Adams CWL contract. She needed to get a big win before Endgame or it would be likely her contract would not be renewed. Her first opportunity would come in the form of the Jailbreak match for the Vindication Women's Title. Despite lasting a decent amount of time and eliminating Davina Rose, she would not walk out the victor. She encountered one more chance at an Endgame match. A qualifier for the number one contender's four-way match at Endgame. Her opponent someone she'd have had plenty of battles with at this point, one half of the match that made her want to come to the CWL, Davina Rose. If Davina lost, she'd miss Endgame two years in a row. If Selena lost, her contract would expire and she would be gone from CWL. It was a hard-fought match but in the end, Selena Adams lost to Davina Rose. Unashamed of the match she had just had, she shook Davina's hand in a sign of respect. But Davina ended up brutalizing Selena Adams. Repeatedly beating her down, leaving her in the center of the ring, her CWL dream seemingly crushed.

### Exile

Selena was at her lowest point. Homeless, Out of a job, and embarrassed by one of the people who made her love the CWL. Living in her van and surviving off food stamps. She had all but lost her passion for wrestling. It wasn't until she received an offer from Wildfire Pro Wrestling that she got back to training. She realized she couldn't be the peppy CWL Fan Girl who looked up to her heroes. She wasn't in CWL, and almost all her heroes had let her down in one way or another. Scout did, Annie did, and especially Davina did. She had to be her own woman, she had to become serious about doing this as a job. She pushed herself harder than ever and very quickly won the Wildfire Pro Wrestling Women's Title. Making a name for herself as the Top Gajin of Japan. But despite being on top in Japan, Adams wasn't satisfied. She knew she had unfinished business in CWL. But as it stood, she couldn't work there. She wasn't under contract. So she would have to find a new way in.

### Enter Melissa Falcon

At the start of Season 3, a mysterious luchadora from France made her debut on Vindication. Her name was “The French Paradox” Melissa Falcon. She spoke not a word of English, in fact she didn’t speak at all. Her demeanour and actions were that of a mischievous child, always taunting and poking fun at the other women in the Vindication Women’s division. This comedic demeanour changed however at Gold in the Bank, when she stared down Valencia.

This stalking by Melissa Falcon would continue over the next few weeks. On 3.13, after a Valencia victory, the lights would go out and when they returned Valencia’s opponent would be seen wearing a Melissa Falcon mask. The next week Valencia finds her backstage, instead of receiving an explanation, Melissa slaps her and walks away. On the Vindication super show, Valencia calls Melissa Falcon down for a match. Not because of the slap or the stalking. But because she is sick of the silence. Valencia normally knew why people attacked her, but Melissa wasn’t giving her a reason. So she was going to create a reason. Valencia pulled a fan in a Melissa Falcon mask out of the crowd and dragged them into the ring, threatening to beat them down. Melissa Falcon’s music hit and she rushed the ring. Despite Valencia having the early advantage, Melissa was able to beat her back and Valencia ran off.

Valencia would go and demand a match with Melissa Falcon from Faith Dela Rosa. Faith agreed, Melissa would just need to sign the contract. The next episode of Vindication, Valencia called Melissa to the ring to make things official. Melissa came down but not in her usual attire. Instead adorned in a Wildfire Pro Wrestling shirt and jeans. Melissa walked down the ramp and removed her mask to reveal herself as Selena Adams. Selena would rush the ring and finally, properly, start laying in the strikes to Valencia and laid her out with the discus lariat. She wasn’t signed to CWL, but she was signed for a match with Valencia.

Selena would explain she needed to pretend to be Melissa to get back into the company. People up top already didn’t want her here, after all she was exiled from the company. So she stole the identity of some French indie wrestler, that say it wouldn’t be weird when she didn’t speak. After all if she spoke, people would know she was Selena Adams. But now she has what she wants, a match with Valencia.

### The continued rivalry with Valencia

Valencia did not take this attack laying down. The very next week she attacked Selena backstage and sent her to the hospital. Looking to make sure she wouldn’t make it to Midsummers Mayhem 3. But Selena kept pushing forward. The next week appearing on Vindication bandaged and bruised and still taking the fight to Valencia. Unfortunately for her however, her injuries lead to Valencia picking up the win at Midsummers Mayhem. Still Selena couldn’t seem to beat her, she didn’t have that ruthlessness that Valencia now had. But Selena wasn’t giving up.

Selena came out the next week wanting a rematch, this time wanting to be 100%. Instead of an answer, she got jumped by all of the FFF. Now Selena had more than one person she wanted to take out.  So a week later when the FFF introduced a new tag member, Selena began to walk down to the ring. Ready to take on the whole stable by herself. Before she could charge in however, Michael Young, Harris, and Colin Piper came in as back up. As the Misfits and FFF began to brawl, Selena rushed down Valencia, tackling her through the barricade. The two would brawl into the crowd, culminating in Selena diving from the stands onto Valencia.

Selena however wasn’t grateful for Michael Young’s help. Getting blown up at him for stopping her from getting her full revenge against all of the FFF. Mikey brought up how Selena would’ve been obviously destroyed if she went against all of them alone, but Selena told Mikey that it wasn’t Mikey’s choice to make. This caused a rift between the two and for quite some time they didn’t interact. Selena for now would be without any of her friends. No Scout, no Mikey, nobody. Or at least, so she thought.

The next week Selena was once against attacked by Valencia and Chris Princess. But her saviour came in the form of the Vindication Women’s Champion, Andrea. With another injury prevented, Selena was able to walk into Global Warning 100% ready to fight Valencia in two out of three falls. She’d beaten Davina Rose, but she’d never beaten her as Valencia. Valencia was 2-0 up against Selena. So Selena had a mission. To even the score. At Global Warning, Selena would do just that. Selena would beat Valencia 2-0 in Two out of Three falls. That victory earned her a shot at Andrea’s title. But Selena refused it for the Supershow, claiming she wasn’t 100% and she wanted to be at her best when challenging for a title. But some weren’t convinced. Some believed that Selena wasn’t challenging because she had joined the White Lotus. The stable headed by Andrea. This all came to a head at the next Vindication Supershow.

Valencia defeated Andrea for the Vindication Women’s Title and after the match Selena made her presence known. She appeared, adorned in White Lotus insignia and attacked Valencia. But when Andrea went to embrace her and welcome her into the fold. Selena laid her out as well. Selena stood tall holding the title, and she stood alone. She decided if she was going to become the top woman on the brand. She was doing it on her own. No FFF, no Misfits, no White Lotus. At Battlelines she’d get that chance. It would be Andrea vs Valencia vs Selena Adams with the Vindication Women’s Title, and after a French-5 to Andrea. Selena had finally done it. Not only did she finally break the tie with Valencia, but she won the title. The same title that her hero Annie Thunder won. The same title that Scout held when she was training Selena. Selena now held it. Now, it didn’t matter that she didn’t have a contract with CWL. No one could deny her a spot on the roster. So long as she held this title, she was a made woman.
