WSU Champion, Mercedes Martinez has yet another high profile match on the horizon. As well as facing Mickie James in a couple of weeks, Martinez has now been booked against Awesome Kong on September 11th for the WSU Championship at EVOLVE.
The longest reigning & defending champion in all of womens wrestling today, WSU World Champion Mercedes Martinez, who recently surpassed her 500th day as champion and making her 28th World Title defense, defeated Tina San Antonio to retain the championship on 7/23 in Union City, NJ at EVOLVE.
Martinez increased her win/loss record in EVOLVE to 4-0, previously defeating Niya, Sumie Sakai & Brittney Savage.
However, after the match, Martinez asked for more competition and again challenged Amazing (Awesome) Kong. This time, over the video screen, Awesome Kong accepted the challenge. WSU & EVOLVE officials have signed the match. On 9/11, in Rahway, NJ, Mercedes Martinez, if still champion, will defend the World Title against Amazing Kong.
We say “if still champion”, because Mercedes Martinez is scheduled to defend the WSU World Championship at an ICW event on 8/7, when she faces her most high profile challenger to date – MICKIE JAMES. If James is to win the WSU World Championship, James will be signed to give the winner of Martinez/Kong a World Title shot at a future WSU event.
If Martinez is no longer champion, Martinez/Kong will be a number 1 contenders match to the WSU World Title. Champion or not, Martinez wants this match with Kong to prove that she is the greatest womens wrestler in the world today. However, Kong is no push-over, and guarantees to put up the biggest fight to date in Martinez’s EVOLVE career.

I don’t know if I am reading it right but isn’t The Fabulous Moolah the longest reigning Champion with 28 years and over 1,100 days?
They mean today. As in of all the Women’s Champions at the moment, she is the longest reigning. However, that in itself, is inaccurate as MsChif was NWA Women’s Champion for 800+ days until yesterday.
However, when reading press releases, bear in mind it’s not always factually actually. There’s a lot of hyperbole that goes into press releases because they are trying to promote their show/promotion.
ooh i love mickie to death but i think mercedes got this in the bag she is one hell of a worker, but after that she will go on to face kong sadly i think awesome kong will beat her ending her 1 year plus title run, and the era of kong will begin in wsu. who knows after that jazz might go up aganist her
Oh man, Kong vs Mercedes sounds off the freakin’ hook!
MsChif just lost the championship. Plus they say Mercedes is the longest reigning and defending champion. How many times did MsChif defend the championship in her tenure compared to Martinez’s 28 defenses in 500 days or whatever it is? Martinez is the greatest womens wrestler today!
The press release did it’s job, I want to see this match!
Mercedes vs. Mickie should be a really good match, but I see Mercedes coming out on top.
Gonna be a good match, But personally i think Mickie will lose.
