She is also a former deathmatch wrestler and showed this off in the BAMF tournament in 2020, making it to the semi-finals.

## **Early Life**

Cassidy was born on November 14th, 1994 in London, England, she was born into a wrestling family (the youngest of 4 kids: she has 2 sisters and a brother) and by the age of 14, she was training to be a wrestler.

We now know Cassidy has 3 siblings, her older sister Candice Smith is a wrestler, her brother Aaron Smith is also a wrestler, but her younger sister Alexis is the anomaly of the family and has made it quite popular in the acting world, however is known to make sporadic appearances in indies around the US.

## **BCW**

In 2016, Cassidy eventually ended up wrestling for BCW, where she met her now-husband, Alex Clark.

Near the end of the year, Alex got help from a few friends in ring and proposed to Cassidy, a little under a year since they met, but Alex knew he had met his soul mate.

In early 2017, Cassidy would have a 'Symphony Of Destruction' match with future Genesis wrestler, The 13, in which she would win via Canadian Destroyer through a drum, this won MOTY for 2017.

Although not having many accolades in BCW, she put on another MOTY contender with her sister, Candice Smith.

## **Indie Scene**

After leaving BCW, Cassidy made the rounds of the indies with her husband, Alex, picking up a few tag titles with him, as well as some singles titles too.

In late 2017, after managing Alex for a while, Cass revealed that her lack of in ring presence was because she and Alex were expecting, and in 2018, would be taking a break soon after giving birth.

## **CWL**

After a video of Alex & his former tag partner, Zac Anderson hitting their tag finisher on Cassidy gained lots of popularity, The owners of CWL saw this video and invited them for a trial, the couple impressed, and both got signed, it took a decent amount of convincing from Alex, but Cass agreed to return to the ring full time again, hiring a nanny for the then 2 year old Jamie.

### The Beginning:

Cassidy debuted on Nemesis 4.5, making quick work of pinball witch and picking up the victory, Cass would then go on a tear, defeating April to go 2 - 0, then at Shadowbanned, would defeat Halie Hudson on the pre-show

Cassidy was able to get another Victory over April, putting her at 4 wins, a week after, Cassidy set up the challenge against Holly Queen for the Nemesis women's title.

### Stepping Up The Division:

Holly Queen would come out during a nemesis show and say that whilst she was waiting for a new contender in a multi-woman match, she was willing to defend and was awaiting a challenger who would take the opportunity, Cass would then come out and tell Holly to look no further, setting up a Nemesis Women's Title match for Gold In The Bank, Cass would end this by laying Holly Out.

At Gold In The Bank (2020) Cassidy Clark defeated Holly Queen to become the new Nemesis Women's Champion.

### End Of The Streak/The Downfall:

Cassidy's first title defence would be against Quinn Edwards, and at Merry Mayhem, Cassidy unfortunately lost the Nemesis women's title to Quinn after losing her undefeated streak to Valkyrie a few weeks prior

Cassidy would go on to channel these losses and her pent up anger by targeting Valkyrie & Selena Adams, 2 friends with a rocky relationship, in the build up to Valkyrie VS Cassidy at Global Warning, Cassidy spent the weeks showing the cracks in the 2's friendship, with constant attacks and distractions, eventually at Global warning Cassidy would lose to Valkyrie, although she put up a good fight

### A New Friendship Blossoms:

Alongside this however, Cassidy had seemingly taken a nicer approach to everything (except Valkyrie), taking the formerly 0 - 9 on Genesis, Cali Kaplan, helping lead her to her very first win at Global Warning.

After Global Warning, Cassidy took Cali Kaplan under her wing and faced Olivia Bodom to show Cali what to do in the ring, submitting Bodom via the Black Widow. Later on in the night, Cali Kaplan would go on to face both Sheila & Jada King in a handicap match, in which it was announced that at the Nemesis Supershow before Verdict, Cali would be facing Cassidy in a steel cage match.

At the Nemesis Supershow (4.27) Cassidy submitted Cali via the Black Widow.

The training would continue for a few weeks, eventually leading to Cass revealing that at Battle Lines, it would be Cass VS Cali, in an iron-woman match.

At Battle Lines 4 (4.32) Cali would go on to defeat her mentor with a score of 6 - 5, in a match widely regarded to be a MOTY contender.

### Supremacy Cup 2021:

Cassidy Clark was announced as one of the women in the nemesis block for the Supremacy Cup

Her run in the cup went as follows:

 2
 3
 4
 5

Cassidy would go 4 - 1, losing the cup via a tiebreaker, leading Holly Queen to go forward.

### Another friendship:

Following the Supremacy Cup, Cassidy said she would revert to the Cassidy of old. A while following that, Cassidy befriended Selena Adams following her being hit by a car. Selena would become rather close with the Clark family and would confide in her and her old mentor, Scout with problems such as Selena losing her cash in via a count-out.

### Heartbreak and Betrayal:

The weeks following, Cassidy would see Selena begin to get swayed by Scout, who would begin to tempt her into using weapons and being cheap. Cassidy, who had changed from these ways, began to step in.

A few weeks into this, Cassidy would gun for a shot against Jada King for her Nemesis Women's Title, but Scout Mackenzie would interrupt and say Selena would be getting a shot before anyone, the pair would argue and lead Jada to come out, and say she would take everyone on, that being Cassidy, Selena AND Scout.

Selena, who had been in japan at this time, returned to America confused, she had a title shot, but against 2 of her friends. Later that night, Scout would get her and Selena a match vs Jada and Sheila, following the match, Jada would attack Scout, with Selena coming to her aid, Scout would go up top but Cassidy would come out of nowhere with a cutter, she would look for another move on Scout, but Selena would push her out the way and take the bullet for Scout.

The following week Cassidy would take on Jada with Selena in Cass' corner, Cass would shockingly pull out the victory, handing Jada her first loss in a complete singles match, but following, Scout would bring up footage of Cassidy attacking Selena and Valkyrie before the car accident, Cassidy would try to explain and apologise to Selena but Jada would attack the pair from behind. Jada and Cass would go back and forth before Scout came in and laid both women out. Selena then made her way into the ring, her and scout then hit simultaneous finishers on Cassidy and Jada. Scout then takes a moment and grabs the women’s title, Before dropping it, and hugging Selena.

Selena is in the ring with Scout and demands an explanation from Cassidy, Cass comes out and apologises profusely, before revealing she's not the only one to hold stuff from Selena, Cassidy then plays footage of Scout turning on Kel Vallen, Selena gets upset and Scout tries to apologise but Selena slaps her, which causes Scout to attack Selena, Cass comes to take the fight to Scout and Selena hits a superkick on Scout, Cass then extends a hand to Selena, but is hit with a superkick too, Jada then blindsides Selena and holds her title high ahead of their match at Endgame.

At Endgame 4, Cassidy, Selena, Scout and Jada would go to war in the main event, with Selena eventually tapping out Cassidy to pick up the title.

### Season 5 begins:

Cassidy would begin season 5 by saying she started Season 4 off with a win, she calls out anyone to make a name for themselves and out comes Hannah Star. Hannah would go on to attack Cassidy and make a name for herself.

The week following Cass would issue the challenge to Hannah of a match, a submission match specifically, but Hannah says she did what she needed and made a name for herself attacking Cass, she then goes on to say if Cass wants a match, she has to earn it, and will have a match for that next week.

At 5.3, Cassidy Clark would face Quinn Edwards, someone who Cassidy had a long history with, but, Cassidy would win, despite Quinn having Hannah in her corner. Following the match Hannah says she was impressed by Cass and she has her match, at Exiled.

At Exiled (5.4), Cassidy Clark would submit Hannah Via Black Widow.

### Es Un Backstab:

From 5.7, spanning several weeks, Cassidy would get several threatening texts from an unknown number, telling her to watch her back carefully. All whilst this was happening, Cali was taking Marcella Reyes under her wing, similar to how Cass did with Cali last season.

Things would escalate and Cassidy would accompany Cali to a match against Marcella as a part of her training on 5.9. Cali would go on to win this match, but shockingly, following the match, Quinn Edwards would hop the barricade and hit Cassidy with a chair from behind, she then rolled in to face Cali and Marcella, and Marcella shockingly attacked Cali, revealing herself to be the one doing the texts, and her new alignment with Quinn Edwards.

The following week, on 5.10, Cass and Cali would insert themselves into a GITB qualifier to stop Quinn Edward's from getting in, this would lead to Cass VS Cali VS Quinn to close out 5.10, in which Cassidy was successful and would qualify for GITB.

At 5.11, a week before GITB, Marcella would brutally attack Cassidy, putting her through a table backstage. She was advised to take it easy and not go into GITB after all, but Cassidy, resilient as always, refused and still took part.

Cass would go on to GITB (5.12) and would lose the Women's GITB match, which was ultimately won by Lady Britannia.

The week following, on Nemesis 5.13, the former Marcella Reyes, now Empresaria Reyes, would capitalise on the injuries sustained by Cassidy mere weeks ago, and defeat her in a match-up.

Cali would avenge Cass the week following, getting a victory over Quinn Edwards.

This would ultimately lead to a tag team match at Zero Hour (5.16), which the newly formed team of Quinn Edwards and Empresaria, named Es Un Shigoto, got the victory.

### The Hunt For Women's Tag Gold:

What hadn't been mentioned prior was Cassidy and Cali had gone to Genesis for a women's tag title shot against then champions, Vanity!, Cassidy and Cali would dominate, but would fall short to Bebe Ka$h and Rachel Lochlan.

Cass and Cali, however, still had a guaranteed shot down the line, due to beating the Renegades at Femme Fatale 3. The pair would spend the next few weeks avenging prior losses they had suffered in the past months, Cass would start against Jada King on 5.18, falling short. Cass would move forward, having beaten Jada before, she was not too mad, but Cali would then go on to beat Adisa Lengau Okeke in extremely decisive fashion at 5.19, putting the pair on a good track for Merry Mayhem.

Come Merry Mayhem 5 (5.20), The women's titles had changed hands from Vanity!, to the Illustrious Invitational winners in Yui Nishimura, and surprisingly, the leader of Vanity! herself, Natalia, the woman who beat Cali in Natalia's CWL Debut. The two teams would put on a classic at Merry Mayhem, but it ultimately ended with Cali covering Natalia to not only avenge her prior loss on Genesis, but to win her and Cassidy the women's tag team titles.

### Lead Up To & Defense #1:

The week following, the team of Adisa Okeke and Halie Hudson would get a victory over the frankly exhausted Kingswomen, getting Halie her first win.

In the lead up to the upcoming Nemesis supershow at 5.23, former champions, Vanity! would issue a rematch to Cali and Cass, due to them getting 3 defenses, and defeating the champs in a defense also, The Kingswomen had to accept at the match was set for 5.23.

At 5.23, Cassidy and Cali would get their first successful defense against Vanity!.

### Best Enemies?

The weeks following saw Cass and Cali quite absent from CWL, dealing with some threats over in Wildfire, in the form of Blxck Rose and Sarah Price, the Best Enemies, not only the longest reigning women's tag champs of all time, but Cali and Cass' next defense. Cass and Cali would go on to lose the titles to The Best Enemies when Cali tapped out to Sarah Price.

### Battle Lines Season/Post BL Shenanigans

Before 5.29, Cassidy Clark would announce that she had been given the spot of Team Captain for Nemesis at Battle Lines, following this, Empresaria Reyes entered and says that due to her several wins over Cass, she deserves a spot on the team, Cass goes on to say she has to earn it, but Empresaria misinterpreted this as Cass letting her be captain.

At 5.29, Empresaria had a match with Tifanie Quin, with Cassidy at ringside, Empresaria would go on to win this match. Following the show, Cass would announce, albeit hesitantly, that Empresaria was on the team as a **MEMBER**, not the captain, and also mentions she had her eye on another woman.

At 5.30, Roxx faced off against Jessie Anderson, winning, after the match Cassidy Clark would appear on the tron and say she had felt Roxx's brutality firsthand a few weeks back in their match of the year contender match, and said Roxx is just what she needs on Team Nemesis, thus making Roxx the third member of Team Nemesis.

Before 5.31, Cassidy Clark would try to confirm the final member of Team Nemesis via phone call, the negotiations broke down, however, due to Empresaria meddling and calling beforehand, saying the talent in question was not needed, Empresaria would then go on to say she had somebody else in mind for the last spot.

At 5.31, Cassidy Clark would be victorious against Liza Horror in decisive fashion, but the more important fact came later in the night, following Jada King's win on the same show, Empresaria came up on the titantron saying Jada was exactly what was needed for Nemesis' 4th spot, Cass, backstage now, would freak out and ask several other people, Such as Liza Horror & Belle Florent if they could do it instead, but everyone was busy, and in the lead up to Battle Lines, with time running out, Cass would be forced to accept Jada on the team.

At Battle Lines 5.32, Cass is set to lead Nemesis into battle, along with teammates Jada King, Empresaria Reyes and Roxx, to take on Vindication's team of Marilyn Benson, Bayamya, Jessica Scarberry and Alexandra Marie.

At Nemesis 5.33, Roxx would grab a mic after her match and call out Jada and Empresaria for their poor performances at Battle Lines, causing Jada to respond and causing her and Roxx to argue, they decided to settle who was the true powerhouse of Nemesis, and would do so in a match the following week.

After the show, Empresaria and Quinn Edwards would speak on this, saying Cass wasn't a great captain herself, and that Jada was actually helpful and just had an off night at Battle Lines, and that next week she shall beat Roxx and prove that she is better than Cass, Cali and anyone else. Cass and Cali would respond saying Cass had beaten Jada before, and that Roxx would do the same, Cass then goes to say that Cali shouldn't have been dragged into it, and that Cali was still a better competitor than Empresaria and Quinn could ever wish to be.

At 5.34, Jada and Roxx faced off, with Jada getting the win, following the match, Jada attacked Roxx, this caused Cassidy to come to the ring and help Roxx, but she was quickly sequestered by Quinn Edwards, the footage then cut to backstage where Cali looked to be coming to Cass' aide, but was interrupted in the backstage area by Empresaria, who laid Cali out, meanwhile in the ring, Jada and Quinn were standing tall.

Following the show, Cali and Cass say Jada and Es Un Shigoto took the cheap route, as always, she then puts forward the challenge, The Kingswomen + Roxx VS Es Un Shigoto + Jada King, the other competitors would eventually accept, causing the match to be set for 5.35.

At 5.35, the match happened, with Es Un Shigoto and Jada walking out victorious.

### Supremacy Season

Looking to pick up some steam following a recent losing streak, Cassidy Clark would face Local Talent, Rebecca Hopkins on Nemesis 5.37, she would eventually win with a brutal knee to the face, covering her for the 3 and breaking the losing streak.

Following the show, Cassidy Clark would have an interview with Ryan Porter, in which she'd praise Rebecca for her performance, she would then go on to say she was officially entering the Battle For Supremacy, and that in the weeks leading up to it, for practice, she would be hosting 'over the top' open challenges to anyone on the Nemesis roster.

At Nemesis 5.38, this challenge would be answered by Jada King & Jessie Anderson, this challenge would backfire for Clark, however, as she would be the first eliminated, with Jada throwing her to ringside, however the match would eventually be won by Jessie Anderson.

Following 5.38, Cassidy would be sat in her kitchen, when she would be approached by her best friend and tag partner, Cali Kaplan, Cali would ask Cassidy if she had anyone for the 'Over The Top' Open Challenge next week, Cass said no and Cali would then ask if she could take the place, wanting to repay the training Cassidy had given her last year, as well as wanting to get training of her own, with this being both women's first BFS', Cass would happily accept.

At Nemesis 5.39, Cassidy Clark would take on Cali Kaplan in the 'over the top' open challenge, in which Cali would win, causing Cass to go 0 - 2 in her challenges.

At Supremacy (5.40), Cassidy would be the number 2 entrant in the BFS, due to events earlier in the night, in which Selena Adams hit Cali Kaplan with a chair on accident, Cassidy was mad at Selena, who drew number 1, and this would lead to Cassidy eliminating Selena just after the number 3 entrant. Cassidy would have an extremely impressive run in the BFS, with her getting 2 overall eliminations, these being Selena and a returning Sheila. As well as 2 eliminations, Cassidy would last the longest out of any female in a single BFS before her, at 19:21, she would eventually be eliminated by Flintlock Garcia.

## **Wildfire**

On a CWL Genesis dark match, there would be a tag match to decide who would face Sarah Price & The Blxck Rose for the Women's Tag Team Championships at Wildfire: Love + War, this match was between Amber Arcade & Lady Britannia, as well as Cassidy & the woman who took her Nemesis Women's championship, Quinn Edwards, Cassidy & Quinn would defeat Amber & Lady Britannia, earning themselves a shot against the women's tag champions for Love + War.

Cass & Quinn would go on to lose the match, with Cass not getting in the match, much to her dismay.

At Femme Fatale 3 (2021), Cassidy would team up with her Protégé, Cali Kaplan, in a tag team open challenge. This challenge would decide who would get a future Women's Tag Team Title shot, This was answered by Grace Wildman & Marilyn Benson, with Cassidy and Cali getting the victory, their title shot is set for Merry Mayhem season 5 in CWL.

At the February 7th episode of Wildfire, Cassidy is set to face one half of the longest reigning Women's Tag Team Champions of all time, in the Blxck Rose.
