History

Pro-Wrestling: EVE was originally developed in 2010 by married couple Dann and Emily Read due to their desire to showcase women's professional wrestling.[1][2] They also wanted to provide positive female role models for their daughter.[1][3] Emily describes the promotion as a "feminist, grassroots promotion," as well as punk.[1] In 2012, Pro-Wrestling: EVE was included in Vice magazine's documentary The British Wrestler,[4] as well as a feature in Fabulous magazine.[5]

The promotion was temporarily put on hold in 2012 while Emily was hospitalized due to suicidal inclinations under the Mental Health Act.[2] She was later released from the hospital with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.[2] The Reads were able to re-open the promotion and had their first event since the hiatus in March 2016.[2] It was the first all-female professional wrestling event to take place in London.[2][3]

In 2017, both women's wrestling and British professional wrestling in general enjoyed a growth in popularity internationally.[1] The promotion broadcasts shows on internet pay-per-view (iPPV).[6]

On 1 February 2020, Sammii Jayne became the first-ever Triple Crown winner in the promotion's history, winning the Pro-Wrestling: EVE International Championship after defeating Jamie Hayter in a four-way match.[7] Jayne was previously an EVE champion and then a Tag Team champion.

Wrestle Queendom

On 5 May 2018, Pro-Wrestling: EVE held their biggest show yet, Wrestle Queendom. Not only this was the first all-women wrestling show to be held on the York Hall, it was the biggest all-women wrestling show in the United Kingdom's history.[8]
