Adena Steele Enters Women’s Super 8

The tournament takes place July 31.

The Wrestling Estate has learned the sixth name slated for the 2021 ECWA Women’s Super 8.

Adena Steele is scheduled for the one-night tournament on July 31 at The Monster Factory in Paulsboro, NJ. She’ll join Gabby Ortiz, Ashley D’Amboise, Vicious Vicki, Kaia McKenna and Tina San Antonio.

“The Violent Vixen” has been quietly getting her reps in over the last three years. A native of Scranton, PA, Adena Steele has spent the pandemic honing her craft in promotions throughout New Jersey and the Keystone State. She also has a lot to prove after recently being eliminated in the first round of the Invictus Women’s Championship Tournament.

“I would say that it’s an honor and a privilege to be involved in a tournament that so many talented women have been involved in before me,” Adena Steele told The Wrestling Estate. “I’m very excited to be a part of it and I can guarantee my presence will be known at the tournament!”

The ECWA Women’s Super 8 (originally called the Super 8 ChickFight) began in 2014 as an extension of the historic Super 8, the longest-running pro wrestling tournament in the United States. Similar to the men’s version, the women’s tournament has become a launching pad for undiscovered, up-and-coming talents to get noticed throughout the industry. Tessa Blanchard, the first winner, and Deonna Purrazzo, the only back-to-back winner, have gone on to Impact Wrestling, and McKay has been signed by Ring of Honor. Previous participants have included Britt Baker, Kiera Hogan, Maria Manic, Santana Garrett, among other notable names.

“We missed 2018 and 2020 with COVID, but we are back on track for the sixth edition,” says ECWA owner Joe Zanolle. “We just celebrated the 25th edition for the men and we are looking forward to building that long legacy with the women. Look at the talent of the first five Women’s Super 8s. That is the quality and young talent you will see this year. We are so glad to showcase these women competitors who work just as hard as the men. And you will not be seeing Divas, but trained and skilled professional wrestlers and athletes.”

The commentary team for this year’s ECWA Women’s Super 8 will be Brady Hicks and A Very Good Professional Wrestler, winner of the 2020 Super 8. The event will stream live on IWTV and a limited number of tickets are available now.
