Martinez was previously announced for Hybrid Wrestling’s “Aces Low” show on 10/8, which will kick off the eventful weekend.
On the heels of her WWE release on August 6, Martinez is certainly hitting the ground running; she will challenge Deonna Purrazzo for the IMPACT Knockouts Championship at WrestlePro’s “Welcome Back” show on October 16, and she will also compete at IMPACT Wrestling’s “Knockouts Knockdown” event on October 9.

Lenny Leonard Returning To GCW Broadcast Team
Though Martinez will be a new arrival in GCW, Lenny Leonard‘s return will bring a familiar face back to the company.
Leonard will be on commentary for GCW’s “Get Lost Alot” event on September 24, and it seems like Leonard’s return will continue beyond Friday’s show. The image used for the announcement also shows the logos for the “Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 7” and “War Ready” events in October, so it’s fair to assume Leonard will be on commentary for these shows, too.
Lenny Leonard returns to the GCW Commentary booth starting this FRIDAY in NYC at #GCWLost!
