Explained simply
Awesome Championship Wrestling is a professional wrestling promotion where performers compete in staged athletic contests. The promotion holds championships in different categories, including a Women's Championship that represents the top honour in the women's section of the company.
The current Women's Champion is Steph De Lander, and Vicious Vicki is another female wrestler within ACW who has demonstrated her skill against the champion. At an earlier ACW event called Reckoning, Vicki defeated De Lander in a tag team match (a contest featuring two wrestlers per side) by pinning her opponent.
ACW uses various match formats to identify its next championship challenger, including battle royals in which several wrestlers compete with the winner earning a title shot. For Vicki, this represents an opportunity to advance her standing within the promotion and move closer to a championship match.
