“WOMEN’S WRESTLING HALL OF FAME.

Grateful beyond words.

Thank you @wwhof2022, @realLeilaniKai for your support always, & Penelope Paradise for inducting me.

This isn’t just for me.
It’s for the past, the present, and the future.

The Women’s Wrestling Hall of Fame was founded in 2022. Its goal is the preservation of the history of both amateur and professional women’s wrestling. Martinez was inducted as part of the 2026 class. The induction took place at Wrestling 4 Vets’ Rumble At The Dog Pound charity event in Brooksville, Florida last Saturday.

Martinez joins Jasmin St. Clair, Linda Dallas (LPWA), Amy Lee, Missy Sampson (Monster Factory), Deb Malenko, and Mickie Knuckles (CZW) as members of the 2026 class. The organization is considering several international nominees such as Jaguar Yokota, Vivian Vachon, and Devil Masami, while Olympic gold medalist Natalia Vorobieva (Russia) and Pang Qianyu (China) have also been nominated.

Martinez announced at the start of the month that 2026 would be her last year as an in-ring talent. She is a former ROH Women’s World Champion and a member of the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
