They called her the Platinum Hunnie once. A sidekick. A sparkle on someone else’s spotlight. But somewhere between the chaotic bingo halls of New England and the broken glass prestige of Westside Xtreme Wrestling in Germany, Ava Everett carved out her own name—and she did it in bold, capital letters.
Evie Rodgerson, born January 12, 1995, out of the hard-bitten indie scene of the Northeast, might not have seemed destined for European dominance. But that’s where she ended up: a three-time wXw Women’s Champion, a rogue freelancer with no leash and no ceiling, brawling her way through Europe and North America on little more than nerve and bad intentions.
From Hunnie to Hammer
Before she was Ava Everett, before the championship gold, she was arm-in-arm with Angel Sinclair, giggling and glittering as one-half of the Platinum Hunnies, side acts to Anthony Greene’s “RetroAG” gimmick. They looked like they’d stepped out of a neon-lit ’80s prom and into the ring. It was fun. Flashy. And fleeting.
Because Everett wasn’t content to just dance on the apron.
She started wrestling for real—and winning.
By March 13, 2020, she had defeated Tasha Steelz for the Chaotic Wrestling Women’s Championship, a belt born and defended in the smoke-filled indie temples of Massachusetts. But even then, Everett knew the world was bigger than New England. She didn’t just want to be a regional queen. She wanted to conquer continents.
And she did.
wXw: The Making of a Champion
Germany’s Westside Xtreme Wrestling is not for the faint-hearted. It’s stiff. Gritty. Real. It’s where matwork is sacred, and titles are earned the hard way—with knees to the ribs and blood on the canvas.
On March 5, 2022, Everett arrived in Oberhausen for wXw’s annual 16 Carat Gold tournament and left with more than a suitcase of ambition. She beat Iva Kolasky and became wXw Women’s Champion, the first American woman in years to break through that glass wall.
She lost it, of course. Everyone does. But she came back.
She regained the title on April 22, 2023, taking it from Baby Allison in a match that was less ballet and more bar fight. Then came the callout—Delmi Exo, MLW’s featherweight queen, thrown down like a beer bottle in a parking lot.
“I want you,” Everett barked into the camera, chest heaving, title slung low on her hip. “Champ versus champ.”
And for one white-hot night in July at MLW’s Never Say Never, the world watched Everett put it all on the line. She lost. But not her fire. Not her presence. That night proved it—Ava Everett wasn’t here to play tourist. She was here to reign.
She won her record third wXw Women’s Championship just a month later on August 25, becoming the face of the promotion’s women’s division. Not the girl beside the man anymore, but the woman carrying the company across borders.
And then, like a true storm, she snatched another one: the GWF Women’s World Championship, taking it from Devlyn Macabre in a “Winner Takes All” war at Femmes Fatales 2023. For a moment, Everett held Europe in both hands.
But nothing in wrestling lasts forever.
On November 11, Masha Slamovich ended her reign at Broken Rules XXI in a Last Woman Standing match that looked more like a demolition derby than a contest. But Everett didn’t crawl away. She stood, smiled through blood and sweat, and started plotting her next move.
Indie Gold and Independent Grit
While most wrestlers chase the big leagues—AEW, WWE—Everett walks a different line. She holds the Pro Wrestling Holland Women’s Championship, a belt she still carries into battle as of this writing. She’s won tag gold in Empower Wrestling, held singles belts across Chaotic, Northeast Championship Wrestling, and Women Superstars Uncensored, always with fists raised and a middle finger cocked for the doubters.
Ranked #66 in PWI’s Women’s 250 in 2023, Everett is no longer climbing. She’s defending her place. Her career isn’t built on hype videos and t-shirt sales. It’s built on bruises and bus rides.
She’s not a “former valet turned wrestler.” That narrative doesn’t fit. She’s a fighter who played the game long enough to learn how to break it. Ava Everett doesn’t belong to a brand. She belongs to herself.
And maybe that’s why, across locker rooms and languages, across continents and companies, promoters still whisper the same thing:
“We want Everett.”
Because Ava Everett doesn’t need a big stage. She is the show.
