At the end of 2019, Karen BamBam’s presence in the world of wrestling strapped on a jetpack and launched into the stratosphere. Becoming the number 1 contender in the Women’s division set her on course to become VPW Women’s Champion in 2020 before the pandemic stopped everything.

In the beginning of 2020, Megan Mason’s stock started to rise as well with wins that put her in the top spot to challenge for the championship. But again, pandemic.
Finally, at VPW’s Homecoming, Megan finally had the chance to take on Karen for the top prize in the division but she fell short, thanks to some outside interference from manager Silk E Smooth.
This gave the champion the distraction she needed to end the campaign for Megan Mason to be champion with a roll up and a pulling of the tights.

That’s not fair, and Megan Mason said as much. She challenged Karen one more time, winner take all, and without any assistance our interference from Smooth.
The champion had other ideas. She decided that if Karen wanted another shot at the title, she’d have to earn it again by winning the Gold Rush Rumble.
Solidifying herself as the dominant champion, Karen BamBam reached out to VPW Management after the show and told them she wanted to face the best of all wrestling.
With their blessing, Karen then reached out and issued an open challenge to all women in wrestling that think they can compete in the same ring as her.
The first challenge will take place at the Gold Rush Rumble, with several local women reaching out to take on Karen for a chance to be the next VPW Women’s Champion.
Who will answer the call when Victory Pro Wrestling returns to St James for the Gold Rush Rumble?
