Brittnie Brooks Says Becoming Inaugural DREAMWAVE Women’s Champion ‘Meant The Entire World’

Brittnie Brooks looks back on her history-making moment at DREAMWAVE Wrestling.

Last month, Brittnie Brooks and Zayda Steel squared off to become the inaugural DREAMWAVE Women’s Champion in the main event of DREAMWAVE’s Follow Your Heart event. To raise the stakes even higher, WWE Hall of Famer Madusa (aka Alundra Blayze) made a special appearance to unveil the newly minted title.

Brooks and Steel then battled feverishly to cement themselves in the DREAMWAVE Wrestling history books, but in the end, only one could win, and that was Brittnie Brooks.

During an interview with WrestleZone’s Ella Jay, Brooks reflected back on her victory over Zayda Steel, and the emotionally charged moment of being crowned as the inaugural DREAMWAVE Women’s Champion.

“It literally was so insane. It meant the entire world to me,” Brooks said. I was so, so, so happy. There’s so many emotions because I was so happy, so fulfilled. To be the first-ever champion of any company anywhere is so huge and DREAMWAVE has just been so incredible to me. From the moment that I reached out to them and wanted to work with them, they were just so incredible. And everything they’ve done for me ever since and even before that moment, meant the world. I got confetti, We got flowers, streamers. That was the craziest [thing].”

“I’m just a girl from Arizona. Before I started traveling, I literally started traveling in February, and since then, I was just wrestling once every couple of months in Arizona. Now, to be able to go and travel like three hours on a plane to get to Chicago and then drive another hour to LaSalle, to win a title like that was just insane to me.”

‘Honored’ To Share The Moment With Steel

Diving deeper into the match itself, Brooks noted that she was honored to share the ring with Zayda Steel for this headlining title match.

“[Zayda] was telling me she hasn’t had like that many matches. I was just like, ‘That’s wild.’ For them to trust us with main-eventing — like we were the cover of IWTV for the weekend. I had my first match on IWTV at DREAMWAVE on the show prior. Haven’t done a lot of FITE and IW[TV], all those like streaming stuff. I literally was just wrestling on non-streamed shows a couple of months ago. And now, to be the headliner of such an insane show with such insane names, it was just wild.”

“Zayda is so, so so good. I was just honored to share the ring with her for such an important match. Now, she was a little rude, but she was able to back it up. The match was just so much fun and it just meant so much to both of us, especially because the venue was sold out. We keep hearing that it got all these views and I’m just like, ‘That’s wild.'”

Coming off her win against Zayda Steel, Brooks will now defend the DREAMWAVE Women’s Championship against Masha Slamovich at DREAMWAVE’s first-ever all-women’s event, Uprising. This upcoming show will take place on Friday, December 8 in LaSalle, Illinois.
