Las Vegas, NV — Wrestling star turned Power Slap striker Hollyhood Haley J is back in action, set to take on Ellie D at Power Slap 15. While the promotion hasn’t officially announced the stakes, all signs point to this matchup being a potential number one contender’s bout for the first-ever women’s championship.
Making Her Case for the Belt
Haley J is no stranger to gold. The outspoken wrestler has collected titles across the wrestling circuit, and she believes it only makes sense that Power Slap puts her on the path to another.
“I didn’t even know it was for a number one contender spot, but it makes sense,” she said. “I’ve been winning belts everywhere. Ain’t nobody slapping like me. I’m Hollyhood Haley J — and I don’t play.”
With Paige VanZant rumored to return in the coming months and Belly defeating Mikey to shift the rankings, Haley J sees this fight as her ticket to the top.
Questioning Ellie D’s Toughness
When asked about Ellie’s durability, Haley J was quick to dismiss what fans saw in her debut.
“People say she showed a chin, but I don’t think so,” Haley J argued. “Mikey wasn’t hitting her clean on the chin. That sweet little Disney princess has no idea what’s coming. She needs to understand — I’m not Mikey. I’m Hollyhood Haley J.”
Training on the Road
Unlike many strikers who dedicate months to training camps, Haley J balances her Power Slap prep with a demanding pro wrestling schedule.
“I’m constantly on the road, wrestling every day,” she explained. “My training really happens fight week when I’m around people who know Power Slap. But I do get reps in — I’ve got a pad, and every time I walk past a Bob dummy, I smack the hell out of it.”
The one area she admits needs improvement? Neck strength.
“I know I should be working more on that,” she laughed. “But I’m busy, okay? I’ve got bills to pay.”
Wrestling, Branding, and Opportunity
For Haley J, Power Slap hasn’t just been about fighting — it’s elevated her brand.
“It got more eyes on me,” she said. “Now people see me in Power Slap and go, ‘Who’s Hollyhood Haley J?’ and then they discover I’m also a wrestler. It’s helped me, even if it made some wrestlers too scared to take one of my slaps anymore.”
The Drive to Be Champion
Despite her charisma and confidence, Haley J is serious about becoming the first-ever women’s champion.
“The chip on my shoulder is always going to be there until I have that belt,” she admitted. “I like making history — I did it in wrestling, and now I want to do it in Power Slap. I’m going to be the first women’s champ. Sorry, Paige.”
A Message for Ellie D
Haley J ended with a message directly for her opponent:
“Ellie, baby girl, I’m not Mikey. I’m going to slap the dog out of you. But don’t worry, you’ll get to slap me back. So let’s run it up.”
