The Bruisers came into existence as the West Virginia Bruisers in late 2008 and were originally an expansion team for the NWFA league, which later folded the same year. The following year, they announced entry into the Women's Football Alliance for 2010, but problems with the league caused them to push back their full-slate inaugural season and switch leagues. Brenda Graves, a former player in the NWFA, is the team owner and plays on the Defensive Line.[2]

The West Virginia Bruisers became the only women's football team from the state of West Virginia to have ever won a divisional championship by winning the Mid States Division in 2011.
