Video: Bayley’s Superfan Izzy Wins A Title

They’re making them younger these days. A few years ago, the NXT women’s division took wrestling by storm. Led by Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Bayley and Becky Lynch, the Four Horsewomen of NXT were one of the coolest things people had seen, having one instant classic after another. Those were the four that held everything together, but there was a fifth who was almost like the official mascot. Well now that mascot is doing something on her own.

At a recent Punk Pro Wrestling, Bayley’s superfan Izzy, who is about 12 years old, won the Punk Pro Wrestling Internet Championship. While the entire match isn’t available, the opening and ending can both be seen, including Izzy taking a chokeslam, telling her opponent to suck it, and winning the title clean off of a Stunner. According to Cagesideseats.com, Izzy has been training to be a wrestler for “a little while now”.

The beginning:

Effy vs Izzy for the Internet Title at Punk Pro Wrestling

The ending:

Opinion: This is one of those weird wrestling stories that isn’t going to be for anything more than a quick smile (and a Jim Cornette explosion) but I’m really hoping that this was her decision. Izzy seems to be a huge fan, but at the same time there is always the chance that her family may have had a hand in deciding that she’s going to be doing this. Hopefully that’s not the case, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

What do you think of the title change? Is it ok to laugh at something like this? Let us know in the comments below.
