Uprising Women’s Athletes Holds Uprising 8 Event in LaSalle, Illinois Featuring Megan Bayne and J-Rod

By PW Exclusive Pipeline·June 21, 2026

Uprising Women’s Athletes ran its eighth event on June 19, emanating from the Kaycee Club in LaSalle, Illinois, with the show streaming live on IWTV.

The card featured notable appearances from Megan Bayne and J-Rod, two names that have been making waves across the independent scene. Bayne, a powerhouse who has built a reputation in both the indie circuit and beyond, and J-Rod were among the highlights on a card that showcased the depth of women’s wrestling talent the promotion has assembled.

On the results side, Tori Fox picked up a victory over Harley Hudson, Rachel Ley defeated Davina Thorne, and Brittnie Brooks got the better of Emily Jaye, among the bouts that took place on the night.

Uprising Women’s Athletes continues to carve out its own space in the independent wrestling landscape, offering a dedicated platform for women’s athletes at a time when the demand for that content has never been higher. With IWTV distribution giving the promotion a national audience, events like Uprising 8 serve as a showcase for talent at various stages of their careers — from up-and-comers looking to establish themselves to established names like Bayne who bring additional eyes to the product.
