HISTORY:

The SHIMMER CHAMPIONSHIP was a women's professional wrestling championship in SHIMMER Women Athletes, and has also been defended on shows in sister promotions Ring of Honor (ROH) and Full Impact Pro (FIP). SHIMMER was founded by Dave Prazak and Allison Danger in 2005. Originally, the wrestlers had matches for competition or personal rivalries, with no prize at stake. After nearly 2 years, a championship for the promotion was launched. The title was created on June 1st, 2007 and it was put on the line during a 2 night, single-elimination style tournament in Berwyn, Illinois. The finals of the tournament saw Sara Del Rey defeat Lacey to become the inaugural champion.
