This week’s Free Match Friday takes an almost 15-year jump in our time travel machine to the very first SHIMMER event. SHIMMER Vol. 1 was just the start of a company who focused on many of the great women we have seen throughout the years.
In this match we witness Mercedes Martinez facing Sara Del Rey. Del Rey, who eventually became the first SHIMMER Champion, takes Martinez to the limit in this match.
Del Rey has become the assistant head coach for NXT since 2015 and signed with the company as a trainer in 2012.
As of January, Martinez has been signed to WWE after being a 20-year veteran in the ring.
