Gisele Shaw has signed with the National Wrestling Alliance after working regularly for the promotion since late 2025.

NWA President William Patrick Corgan announced the signing during Saturday’s edition of ‘NWA Powerrr’.

The promotion described Shaw as a “world-traveled competitor” and highlighted her victory over Tiffany Nieves for the NWA World Women’s Television Championship at the Crockett Cup earlier this year.

Terms of Shaw’s deal were not disclosed.

Shaw made her NWA in-ring debut at a December 2025 television taping in Tampa, Florida, unsuccessfully challenging then-NWA World Women’s Champion Natalia Markova. The two later teamed together against Nieves & Gretta.

At the Crockett Cup tapings on April 4, Shaw defeated Nieves to capture the Women’s Television Championship, ending what the NWA described as a record-setting reign. Nieves went on to win the NWA World Women’s Championship later at the same taping.

Shaw has also remained a prominent part of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling. She became the inaugural MLP Women’s Canadian Champion by defeating Kylie Rae in the tournament final at Northern Rising in May 2025 and remains champion.

She is scheduled to defend against Priscilla Kelly on an upcoming episode of MLP Mayhem. The winner will defend the championship against Nikki Storm at Northern Rising on October 3 in Toronto.

The 37-year-old previously spent nearly three years with TNA Wrestling. Shaw confirmed her departure in September 2024 after being granted her release, having joined the promotion in early 2022.

Before TNA, Shaw built much of her career in the United Kingdom, where she held championships with PROGRESS, Revolution Pro Wrestling and Pro-Wrestling: EVE.
