Nicole Matthews' name is consistently thrown around when discussing independent female wrestling talent that WWE needs to look at. The British Columbia native is a ten-year veteran of the ring yet still only 30 years old, the perfect blend of experience and youthful vigour.

Matthews made her name in Shimmer alongside the sadly retired Portia Perez, and has also been an integral part of Vancouver-based ECCW (Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling) for a number of years. Matthews is currently in her third reign as ECCW Champion, making her one of the rare number of females to win titles competed for by males.

The only real surprise is that Nicole Matthews hasn't had a chance to shine in WWE already. That time is now.
