Bellatrix Female Warriors, also known as Bellatrix, is a British independent women's professional wrestling promotion based in Norwich. The company was founded by Sweet Saraya in 2006 as the World Association of Women's Wrestling, a sister company to her husband Ricky Knight's World Association of Wrestling. The promotion tours theatres, leisure centres, and town halls.

History[]

The company was founded by Sweet Saraya in 2005 as the World Association of Women's Wrestling, a sister company to her husband Ricky Knight's World Association of Wrestling.[1] The name was later changed to Bellatrix Female Warriors, as bellatrix is Latin for "female warrior".[1] The company trains their own wrestlers, as well as hosts international talent.[1][3] Trainees are taught traditional British catch wrestling.[1] In addition, shows are promoted via video on demand or internet pay-per-view (iPPV).[1][4][5]

Bellatrix has working agreements with Real Quality Wrestling, Shimmer Women Athletes,[1] IndyGurlz Australia,[1] and LDN Wrestling.[2] The promotions cross-promote shows and championships.[1][2]
