MIA YIM
Over the past several years, one of the true breakout young stars in women's wrestling has been Mia Yim. Like many of the athletes on the SHIMMER roster, Yim has chosen to split her wrestling schedule between the United States and Japan, with the goal of learning a variety of different styles of wrestling and always sharpening her skills. Earlier this year, Mia participated in memorable SHIMMER bouts against Amazing Kong, New Zealand's Evie, and Jessicka Havok, displaying her lethal kicking ability and unique high flying offense. In just three weeks, Mia Yim returns to Berwyn for SHIMMER 58-61 at the Eagles Club!

MERCEDES MARTINEZ
"The Latina Sensation" Mercedes Martinez is one of only three remaining SHIMMER originals (wrestlers who were a part of the very first SHIMMER event in 2005) still on the active roster. Thus far, 2013 has been very good to Mercedes, as she handed Ayumi Kurihara a loss in her final United States bout at SHIMMER 53, headlined SHIMMER 54 one week later against Cheerleader Melissa, and then went on to renew her rivalry with Ayako Hamada with some fiercely competitive matches against her in Berwyn. After Martinez represents SHIMMER this coming weekend in England as part of the "Bellatrix Versus SHIMMER" event, she will return to the Berwyn Eagles Club just two weeks later for SHIMMER 58-61!

MADE IN SIN
Over the past year and a half, the Made In Sin combination of Taylor Made & Allysin Kay have established themselves as a threatening tag team force throughout the women's wrestling scene. After initially forming their alliance on the SHINE iPPV events in the state of Florida, Made In Sin successfully brought their partnership into the SHIMMER tag team ranks as well, battling such duos as Kana & LuFisto, MsChif & Christina Von Eerie, and Veda Scott & Shazza McKenzie, among others. Additionally, Allysin Kay recently completed an extended tour of Japan, where she spent time focusing on her career as a singles competitor.
CHERRY BOMB
Toronto native Cherry Bomb made her SHIMMER main roster debut at SHIMMER 50 this past autumn in Berwyn. Prior to her arrival, Cherry built her name throughout the world, with several tours of Japan on her resume, in addition to experience throughout North America. Earlier this year, she participated in the SHIMMER 53 event in Secaucus, NJ as the tag team partner of Kimber Lee. In less than two weeks, Cherry Bomb returns to Berwyn to be a part of SHIMMER 58-61!

SANTANA GARRETT
One of the most in-demand performers in women's wrestling today is Santana Garrett. Santana made her SHIMMER debut at SHIMMER 50 this past fall in Berwyn, displaying her fire and agility inside the ring to all in attendance. 2013 has been a huge year in Santana's career, with appearances in virtually every wrestling promotion in existence, including many of the companies participating in Open Female Fight Season, the revived Women of Wrestling group, Impact Wrestling, and NXT. You never know where Santana may pop up next, but you can certainly count on her being in Berwyn for the SHIMMER 58-61 festivities next weekend!
LEVA BATES
Professional wrestling's resident queen of cosplay Leva Bates joined the SHIMMER main roster in early 2010. During one of her initial bouts, Leva faced SHIMMER original Allison Danger in a match that would ultimately become very significant in the careers of both wrestlers. As a result of the fight they brought to one another as opponents, the two decided to combine forces as a tag team unit, which came to be known as Regeneration X. One of the featured matches of SHIMMER 57 earlier this year saw Danger and Bates team up one last time, as part of Allison's farewell match as an active wrestler. In less than two weeks, Leva heads back to Berwyn for SHIMMER 58-61, but this time with singles competition as her focus.
"Your Soul's Tormentor" MsCHIF
The longest reigning SHIMMER Champion in the company's nearly eight year history is "Your Soul's Tourmentor" MsChif. One of the three remaining SHIMMER originals on the roster (who were a part of the debut SHIMMER event in 2005), MsChif has been in some of the most memorable bouts over the years, including her feud with Cheerleader Melissa, as well as matches against such women as Amazing Kong, Daizee Haze, Sara Del Rey, Madison Eagles, Sarah Stock, and many others. In addition to continuing to compete in singles action, MsChif is a part of the SHIMMER tag team ranks along with partner Christina Von Eerie.
CHRISTINA VON EERIE
Southern California's "Punk Princess" Christina Von Eerie joined the SHIMMER roster in early 2011, immediately drawing the ire of former SHIMMER Champion Sara Del Rey. Von Eerie quickly proved her worth as a wrestler in bouts against not only Del Rey, but other SHIMMER originals such as Cheerleader Melissa and Mercedes Martinez. Christina went on to form a tag team with former champ MsChif, in addition to participating in singles competition. Earlier this year, Von Eerie became involved in a bitter rivalry with Saraya Knight.
