NIKKI ROXX IS BACK IN SHIMMER JULY 5TH!
———————————————————-

Nikki Roxx returns to SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES on Saturday, July 5, 2008! She will be a part of the Volumes 19 & 20 taping at the Berwyn Eagles Club (6309 26th Street) in Berwyn, IL. Bell time is 4pm. Doors open at 3pm.

The formal announcement of Nikki’s SHIMMER return was made this past Saturday night on the video screen at the AAW event in Berwyn. You can view the video at the link below.

http://www.elf-productions.net/videos/OneGirlRevolution.wmv

Nikki Roxx was one of the original 18 women who were a part of SHIMMER from the beginning, and was an integral part of establishing the promotion during our first two years of operation.

Despite competing in undercard matches, and sometimes being in the opening match on several of the early SHIMMER DVDs, Nikki Roxx worked her way to the top of the card through heart and determination. Following her match against Amazing Kong on Volume 5 of the SHIMMER DVD series, which caught the attention of wrestling fans around the world, Nikki went on a winning streak that propelled her into the main event picture at SHIMMER.

Though Nikki had to cease active SHIMMER competition in late 2007 due to signing a contract with TNA Wrestling, the recent video agreement signed by SHIMMER which allows TNA contracted talent to appear on our events opened up the opportunity to bring one of the most popular wrestlers in SHIMMER history back into the mix!

July 5th will see the return of Nikki Roxx to SHIMMER competition after a one year absence. General admission tickets to the July 5th taping are still available at www.shimmerwrestling.com. Make sure you’re there LIVE and in person to see Nikki’s return!
