SHIMMER Women Athletes have announced that their champion, Saraya Knight, will be defending her title on British soil against Destiny at Bellatrix 5 in Norwich, England.

This will mark the first time that the SHIMMER Championship has been defended in the UK, and the second time that the title has been defended outside the United States, the first being when Madison Eagles defended it against Nicole Matthews and Jessie McKay in Australia in September 2011.

The match will also be contended under traditional British rounds rules, which dictate ten rounds of three minutes length each, with the first wrestler to gain two falls winning the bout.

Bellatrix 5 will take place at Epic Studios in Norwich, England on Sunday, March 24th. Tickets can be purchased online at their official website.

This is a really big moment for Destiny. She deserves it. Having been in the business for a long time and not getting too much recognition, she could do really great things outside of England.

I don't think the Championship will change hands, though. Unless something is up with Saraya to have to drop the belt, I cannot see Dave letting his title change to someone who has never stepped foot into a SHIMMER ring.

I don't see it changing hands either. Sounds like it'll be an awesome match.

Should be a good match but imo this is a pretty safe title defense for her.

I do like how they are having the champion defend it more often since they could never have that many defenses in a year considering they only tape so many shows in the spring and fall.

I think this change is going to be a great thing.
