It was always going to take a special kind of match to crown the first ever WCPW Women's Champion, and that match was a Last Woman Standing contest at September 2016's WCPW Stacked event.

There, Nixon Newell - these days known as Tegan Nox under the WWE banner - bested Bea Priestley to become the inaugural WCPW Women's Champ. And that win came in the most brutal of fashion.

The match itself was a fun, violent encounter, but it was the finish to this encounter which was particularly gnarly. So much so, said finish alone earns Newell vs. Priestly an inclusion here.

As a seemingly defenceless Nixon Newell lay slumped on a steel chair, she smartly turned the tide with a snug headbutt. But that was only the tip of the iceberg, for what followed was a German Suplex to the open chair, then a Curb Stomp onto the seat of the chair, and finally a Punt Kick as Priestley's head lay perfectly positioned for Newell to finish off her opponent.

As one would expect, that finishing sequence was more than enough to seal the win for the highly talented Welsh wrestler, with Priestley staying down for the 10 count as Newell was crowned WCPW Women's Champion.
