April 10, 2020April 10, 2020 by Nick

Before Viper (now Piper Niven) and Kay Lee Ray were mainstays on NXT UK, these women battled in several matches on the independent scene. One of the most highlighted matchs in their career took place with Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW) with a Queen of Insanity Match.

In late 2018, Viper put her ICW Women’s Championship on the line against Ray who was no stranger to holding the belt herself. The two would battle it out with using just about any weapon you could think of.

This war between the two was very big throughout their rivalry and it is highlighted very well in the gruesome match.
