Sofia Valmet

**Sophia Velmer** (ソフィア・ヴェルマー Sofia Veruma), more commonly known as Valmet (バルメ Barume), is a former Finnish Rapid Deployment Force officer and the only other female member of Koko's Squad. She is from the anime *Jormungand*.

In A.W.A.C., she wrestles under **Sofia Valmet**. This is an amalgamation of her alias name "Sofia Velmer" and her common name "Valmet".

## A.W.A.C. Career

Sofia's official A.W.A.C. debut on February 2, 2018 on Anarchy #36 where she was unsuccessful in winning her Round 1 match in the A.W.A.C. Women's Championship #1 Contender's Tournament. On Anarchy #40, Sofia Valmet attacked Ada Wong backstage for seemingly no reason. The assault ended when Sofia hit Ada with the M/91 (Roode Bomb) onto a metal cart. A.W.A.C. management announced that these two will wrestle with each other on the Fury Pre-Show before Final Destination. At the event, Sofia defeated Ada. After a few months of inactivity, Sofia lost to Juliet Starling on a special Halloween edition of Fury (Episode 25).

Due to a supplemental draft after the 2018 Draft Special in August, Sofia was drafted to the Anarchy brand. Sofia's 2019 kicked off with an upset win in Round 1 of the A.W.A.C. Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament where she and her partner Cassie Cage defeated The Titans (Raven & Starfire). However, they would lose to the eventual winners, the Paradise Angels (R. Mika & Yamato Nadeshiko), in the semi-finals on the following episode. From there, Sofia, Cassie, & their new ally Samus Aran would engage in a feud with The Titans  & Captain Marvel. On July 26 on Anarchy #48, Sofia defeated Starfire and over the next 2 episodes, the rest of the trios would exchange wins over each other. On December 17 at Envy, The Titans & Captain Marvel would defeat Sofia, Cassie, & Samus in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match when Captain Marvel & The Titans hit Sofia with 2 Triple Powerbombs. As a result, she was legitimately knocked out. It was informed during the show that she also suffered internal injuries after the match and was being treated at the nearest hospital. This put Sofia out of action for several months.

Sofia Valmet would return on April 11 on Anarchy #54 where she wrestled a 6-Woman Battle Royal where the winner would become the #1 contender for the Women's Title. Sofia was eliminated by eventual winner Juri Han. In the following episode, Sofia defeated Captain Marvel. After the match, Captain Marvel apologized for inadvertently injuring Sofia back at Envy. She wanted Sofia to accept her apology but Sofia said nothing and simply walked away. This transitioned Sofia into somewhat of a tweener role as fans took to liking her decision to walk away, coupled with the fact that she had been starting to get a mixed reaction from fans in attendance. On May 22 on Anarchy #59, Captain Marvel eliminated Sofia during a 6-Woman Battle Royal as a preview of the Women's Match Beyond at Above And Beyond. At Above And Beyond on September 17th, she entered the Women's Match Beyond at #10 and eliminated #8 Harley Quinn and #9 Spider-Gwen before being eliminated by #11, her ally Cassie Cage.

On January 22, 2021, on Anarchy #62, Sofia defeated Captain Marvel to qualify for the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. 2 episodes later, Sofia lost a Triple Threat that included Akali and D.Va. On July 16, 2021, Night 2 of Anarchy Rulz 3, Sofia Valmet defeated Lili, Bra Brief, Alita, Akali and D.Va to win the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

## Season 3

On August 2, 2021, on the first CPV of Season 3, Undisputed Universe, Hammerlock successfully defended their A.W.A.C. Women's Tag Team Titles against the Military Machine Guns (Cassie Cage & Sofia Valmet). On November 13, on Anarchy #66, Hammerlock defeated the Military Machine Guns once again; this time in a Tornado Tag Team Match to retain their titles. On December 4, on Anarchy #69, after Tracer defeated Juliet Starling in a non-title match, Sofia Valmet cashed in her Women's Money In The Bank contract and pinned Tracer to become the new Women's Champion. On December 20, at Resonance, Sofia defeated Tracer and Juliet Starling in a Triple Threat Match to retain her title.

On March 8, 2022, on Anarchy #71, Cassie Cage asked Sofia Valmet for a favour which Sofia already knew. Sofia granted Cassie an A.W.A.C. Women's Championship Match at Superfight. Sofia told Cassie to bring everything she's got. In turn, Cassie told Sofia "may the best woman win". On April 2, at Superfight, Sofia defeated Cassie to retain her title. On Anarchy #75, Tracer defeated Sofia Valmet to become the new A.W.A.C. Women's Champion. During the match, Sofia suffered a minor concussion when she landed hard on a clothesline executed by Tracer.
