Valencia

## Early Life

Valencia had humble beginnings, living in a household with many of members of her extended family. Her parents were born in Mexico and came to the U.S. in the late 80s, alongside her aunt and uncle. They moved in with another uncle, in San Jose California, who had already been living in there for sometime.

Growing up, she would attend many sports events, including any wrestling shows that came to town. Despite their financial situation, Valencia’s father and uncle would do their best to take her and her cousin Alex Perez to any wrestling events that they could.

Valencia’s uncle would eventually end up meeting the owner of California’s oldest and most famous wrestling organization, the Golden State Wrestling Alliance. From there, Valencia and Alex Perez made it their mission to get into the company’s wrestling school. After lots of convincing (mainly their own dads), they became official trainees.

Valencia would begin training at the age of 9 alongside her cousin, 11. On some days after school, after finishing any homework and chores, they would go to train for as long as they could. This continued training till high school, at which point they were urged by their families’ to start taking their studies more seriously. Ultimately, they had no choice but to conform.

Though no longer training as often, it wasn’t the end of their athletic careers. Alex Perez and Valencia played baseball through high school and were both very good to the point that they were offered scholarships. Alex would play in the Short Stop position and Valencia, the only girl to ever play baseball instead of softball at her school, would play as a pitcher. She was known to throw faster pitches than any girl around her age, even faster than a lot of the boys, with her highest recorded pitch being an 84 mph fastball.

After high school the two would go their separate ways. Alex Perez would turn down scholarships and ultimately ignore his families wishes of continuing school and decided that he wanted to become a wrestler. When he became 18 he would begin his career in GSWA and would wrestle there for 2 years before going to Japan for 4 years and then finally making his way to CWL in 2017.

Valencia continued school and even played baseball in college. Due to her coach’s selfish desire to win a championship, Valencia was pushed too hard and injured her arm, requiring Tommy John surgery. Though she could’ve continued playing, she decided to instead continue her academics. She would graduate and become a nurse at age 20, but would only be in the workforce for 2 years before deciding she would too go against her parent’s wishes.

Valencia would train hard for a year before being scouted and recruited by CWL.

## CWL & Other Promotions

Valencia, going by Davina Rose at the time, was a wrestler who flew under everyone’s radar. In her debut she faced veteran wrestler, Jessie Hazard. She would end up losing the match, but had a respectable showing. After that she wouldn’t appear again for a little over a month, but when her 2nd match came, she knew it was sink or swim.

A new #1 contender was needed to face then CWL Women’s champion and future CWL legend, Kel Vallen. An 8-women Elimination Battle Royale was held in order to name a new contender. Veterans and rising stars alike would compete for the chance at the ultimate prize. Among these were the likes of Annie Thunder, another future CWL legend and 4-time world champ, the high flying Taylor Jones, the illustrious Carolyn Hale and the industry veteran, Jessie Hazard.

Towards the end of the match, the final 3 were Jessie Hazard, Annie Thunder and Davina Rose (aka Valencia). Thunder would end up being eliminated first which would leave Davina Rose and Jessie Hazard as the final 2, in a rematch. Rose would fight hard and finally get her win back from over a month prior, getting a total of 3 eliminations in that match.

So the match was set. It would be the rookie Davina Rose versus one of the greatest wrestling stars the sport had ever seen, Kel Vallen. The match was one of the most competitive in the CWL to date. Kel Vallen was Davina Rose’s superior in every way and took the rookie to class. Though the odds were heavily on Vallen’s side, what Davina Rose did have was her incredible, natural athleticism, cunningness, and most importantly, her fighting spirit. In the end, after a grueling and highly competitive match, a sequence of unrelenting offense allowed Davina Rose to hit her new and deadly finishing maneuver, the Thorn, which allowed her to finally put down Kel Vallen and claim her very first championship.

This would be the first of many championships she would hold. No matter how much the division changed and improved, Valencia would always find a way to get back on top. Being a record holding 9-time champion. She would go on to main eventing Femme Fatale 3, a cross promotional women’s wrestling PPV as well as the final EndGame that CWL held. She would form lasting rivalries with Kel Vallen, Andrea, Selena Adams, Annie Thunder and many others.

Outside of CWL she would win a tournament in the U.K. to become the Inaugural Kingdom Pro Women’s Champion. She would hold the title until the company folded and she merged the with the Wildfire Women’s championship, another championship that she held twice in Japan. She would also become a Doubles champion in WWA. Valencia has competed in Mexico and Canada as well, but has yet to win a championship from those companies.

## CWL Folds

The news was quite sudden and out of nowhere when CWL announced that they were going out of business. No one knows for sure what happened behind the scenes. Some claim bankruptcy, despite the fact that the company was growing very well. Others claim that it was shut down for legal reasons, and some speculate that it was the loss of passion from the owner.

When CWL was announced that it was being shutdown, most assumed that a new leader would be at the helm, but due to many of the properties being owned by one person (the owner), it was not possible.

When the company folded, it created a huge vacuum affect. Some wrestlers retired immediately or took up other professions while many others were signed to different companies, some of them being sister companies to CWL.

Valencia has since left the United States and has been popping up in different countries around the world, namely Mexico, Australia, Canada and Japan, defending a newly reconstructed version of the old Vindication Women’s Championship.

No one know’s her exact motivations as to why she stole the title from the CWL museum and began defending it around the world, but one can assume she is out to prove what many of us already know: That she’s one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots and kick some ass inside a ring.
