Rising star Evie from New Zealand,
who is the current PWWA Interim Champion, will make her SHIMMER debut at SHIMMER
53. Former SHIMMER Champion Madison
Eagles will return to action after over a year on the sidelines due to
injury. Plus the legendary Amazing Kong will
also make her return to SHIMMER action as part of the event!
Previously announced for SHIMMER 53 were two matches which were signed
immediately following SHIMMER 52. The main event will feature SHIMMER Champion Saraya
Knight defending the title against Cheerleader
Melissa inside a steel cage! Plus there will be a rematch from SHIMMER 52
pitting "The Wrestling Goddess" Athena vs. Ayako
Hamada!
SHIMMER 53 will take place on Saturday,
April 6th at the Meadowlands
Exposition Center (355 Plaza Drive) in Secaucus, NJ. Bell time is Noon for
this special afternoon event. We are now into the 3rd row of ringside seating.
If you'll be in the NY/NJ area during Mania weekend and would like to be

be one of the biggest events in SHIMMER history, and certainly our largest
