Kimber Lee vs. Little Miss Roxxy

Kimber Lee only had three matches in WCPW during her fleeting stay in 2016. The fact two of them were Women's Title shots against Nixon Newell speaks volumes about her in-ring work. If you require a refresher, then take a gander at Lee's Street Fight with Newell from True Legacy, or how effective she was when squashing Little Miss Roxxy on Loaded.

That hard-hitting style earned Lee a WWE contract before the end of the year. She debuted on NXT this past January in an enhancement role and was picked to enter the Mae Young Classic tournament in August. Since then, Lee has been renamed Abbey Laith and has been working NXT house shows in preparation for a return to TV.

She might not have stayed in WCPW too long, but that aforementioned brawl with Nixon allowed Lee to leave her mark on WhatCulture. Had she not been picked up by Vince McMahon and company, there's every chance the Seattle native would have become a WCPW stalwart.
