What they're saying
"

Pro Wrestling EVE is an independent women’s wrestling promotion out of London that’s proudly feminist and punk rock, and for the past couple years has counted one of England’s most well-known active wrestlers among its producers and writers in AEW’s Will Ospreay. It’s also a promotion that Scottish wrestler Kay Lee Ray was champion of back in 2019. For the last six or so years, fans have known Ray as WWE’s Alba Fyre while she won the NXT UK Women’s and NXT and WWE Women’s Tag titles. Her run there ended with this year’s post-WrestleMania roster cuts, but it doesn’t look like she was released (at least not effective April 24), because she isn’t waiting 90 days to take her next booking. At least, that’s how we’re taking this announcement from Pro Wrestling EVE. We don’t think they’d capitalize the K, L, and R in “killer” if they were talking about three-time EVE champ Nikki Storm (fka Cross… plus, she owns her own indies these days). Molly Spartan has thrown out the challenge to someone for Friday June 5th, but is being ever so slightly vague with regards to this woman who she hopes will meet her in the middle of the ring at EVE 150 in London on Friday June 5th. All we know is this firey competitor is a former WWE Tag Team Champion, a former EVE Champion, and an absolute KiLleR in the ring…We’ll find out the answer to this mystery this coming Friday June 5 at EVE 150! 🚨 Challenge Accepted? 🚨 A returning former WWE title holder heads to EVE in Walthamstow, London on Friday June 5th to answer @MollySpartan's challenge in the ring. But who could it be? …And was it really a wise decision to step up to a woman who is currently 6–1 in EVE… pic.twitter.com/qV3UKfD7kY — EVE – Riot Grrrls of Wrestling (@ProWrestlingEVE) May 30, 2026 The promotion also just reminded us of Ray’s history there, too. EVE FLASHBACK Let's go back 9 years to the summer of 2017, EVE is live @ResGal with a sold out show performed on just 2 weeks notice and featuring a first time ever singles match between @KLR_KayLeeRay and @JinnyCouture ! ** NEXT EVENT: FRIDAY JUNE 5 EVE 150 "HISTORY MAKERS |… pic.twitter.com/FDB98yIoS1 — EVE – Riot Grrrls of Wrestling (@ProWrestlingEVE) May 28, 2026 Even without Kay Lee, History Makers / Rule Breakers is shaping up to be a heck of a show this Friday (June 5): EVE International Championship Match: Kris Statlander (c) vs Miyu Yamashita EVE Championship: Session Moth Martina (c) vs Alexxis Falcon EVE Tag Team Championships: Lallie (c) vs French Art NYTE/SKYE vs Relentless All Stars Lucy Sky vs Melissa Fierce vs Emersyn Jayne Rhio vs Aliss Ink Excited for KLR and others who became free agents in April to start showing up in old or new places?
