Glory Braddock

The Early Years
Glory Braddock was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Mary Braddock and London, England native Glenn Braddock. But just a few days after she was born, friction began to surface between her father and her mother's family. Glen Braddock gave Mary an ultimatum-"your family or me". Mary chose her family and hence the two got a divorce. Glen won custody of the still infant Glory and moved back to London. Mary went back to using her maiden name of Ford and never told her two nieces, GDW legends Angelica Jones and Kayla Redfield, that they had a cousin in London, England named Glory Braddock. But now that Glory has learned the truth about her cousins, she has taken to the squared circle of GDW. Where will Glory's career lead her?

Initial Success; First Major Rivalry
Initially Glory's career was a major success! She was allowed to start off in a tournament to crown the currently vacated GDW International Championship. Glory plowed through the competition, much to the surprise of all wrestling observers, eventually defeating Brandon Z'appel in the finals at GDW Resurrection 2008 to become the new GDW International Champion. Unfortunately Jason Redfield was on the Booking Committee and he still had a bitter taste in his mouth after a bitter divorce with his ex-wife Kayla Jones, Glory's cousin. So Jason decided to take his frustrations out on Glory that very same night by forcing her to defend the title in a rematch against Brandon Z'appel. Glory was caught off guard by this announcement and Brandon won the gold. Glory had a competitive rivalry with Brandon for the next three weeks but she couldn't quite defeat Brandon to regain her championship.

The Allied Powers
Glory Braddock then started to move on. She started Glory's Prankster Service, a "business" where if someone paid her good money she would willingly play a nasty joke on anyone of their choosing. Glory also made friends with Carrie Storm, another newcomer to GDW. Carrie assisted Glory in her pranks and they formed a tag team known as The Allied Powers, playing off the fact that Glory is British and Carrie is American. Glory and Carrie were a success in GDW as a tag team, going on to be undefeated and winning the world tag team championship. Unfortunatelly their title reign was short lived as GDW management vacated the belts immediately after they won them.

GDW Reborn
The financial crisis that led to GDW almost selling the company was resolved and GDW kept on right where it left off. Everyone in GDW was happy and content except for Glory Braddock and Carrie Storm. They felt cheated out of their world tag team title reign and wanted retribution, justification. They got their opportunity when they got a tag team title shot against newcomers The Glorified Acrobats. The high flying duo gave The Allied Powers a big fight but in the end Glory Braddock and Carrie Storm made history by winning back the GDW World Tag Team Championship. Now The Allied Powers sit atop the GDW tag team mountain as the best tag team in GDW.

Tragedy Strikes
During this time, Glory's cousin Angelica had been driven over the edge by Meagan Collins. As a result Angelica began stalking Meagan and anyone else who got in her way. Angelica's actions were downright psychotic and, unintentionally, drove Glory's mother, Angelica's aunt Mary, to commit suicide. Glory blamed Angelica for the death of her mother and swore vengeance upon her cousin. Carrie Storm did not share in Glory's thirst for revenge and this led to the two of them becoming isolated. Glory's anger would isolate her from Carrie and would end up destroying the Allied Powers. Glory would not be left alone without a partner for long. Glory would eventually throw her hat in with Meagan Collins, Angela Jameson, and Matt Alan to reform Suffrage. Glory Braddock and Angela Jameson would later team up as The Harlequins to win back the GDW World Tag Team Championships. She would later go on to the Apocalypse Match at Game Over 2009 to win the World Heavyweight Championship. She would go on to retain the world title against Mystic twice and against Brian Blades before eventually losing the title to Angela Jameson at Last Respects. Glory would win the world heavyweight title a second time by defeating Jameson at Civil War but she lost it right back to Jameson in a hell in a cell match the following Fever.

Motor City Wrestling
Glory would eventually join Angelica into Motor City Wrestling (MCW) where they would reignite their rivalry. Glory's quest was at first driven by jealousy but participating in the Whitecloud Memorial, plus a tough motivational speech from her father, helped her see the error of her ways. Glory's mission had changed from one of jealousy into one of pride. She wanted to be proudly carry on not only her father's legacy but also the Jones legacy. Angelica didn't take kindly to that and she threw her hat in with Brittany Lohan in an attempt to stop Glory from taking up the mantle. Glory, however, would win the Motor City Championship twice and then she would go on to beat Lohan two straight times, effectively cementing herself in as the heir to the Jones legacy. Later on Glory would further add to the Jones legacy by defeating the monster known as Dante to win the MCW World Heavyweight Championship in a match most thought was un-winnable.

Continued Success
After Motor City Wrestling folded, Glory focused her attention on GDW. She would grow closer to tag team partner Kurt Logan. Together they would win the world tag team championship and fight side by side in the Insanity Cage where Glory walked out as the new Fever Television Champion. Motor City Wrestling eventually reopened. Initially Glory was not going to return but after being practically begged, Glory decided to help her friends and colleagues out, mainly until they got back on their feet. Little did she know she would be thrust into a royal rumble style battle royal in which she would leave as one half of the world tag team champions with "Lethal Weapon" Nick Harris. Harris would later leave and Glory's new partner was chosen to be Brittany Lohan.

A New Millennium
After learning of the MWA's near destruction, Glory decided to sign a part-time deal with MWA in order to help them get back on their feet. She saw it as a new challenge, for the last time she was a member of the MWA roster things did not turn out well. In her second match with MWA she won the MWA World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Vivien Storm. Braddock held the championship for over three months before quitting MWA after being screwed out of the championship.

Twisted & Sadistic
Braddock's career and professional life began to take off at this point. Her partnership with Brittany Lohan proved more than fruitful. Together they were known as Twisted & Sadistic and they ran roughshod over the tag team division in Motor City Wrestling. Meanwhile in the Global Division of Wrestling she had earned a third reign as Fever Television Champion by defeating Faith De Luca. The British Bombshell conquered love by finally marrying Randal Williams. Glory and Brittany would continue to dominate the tag team ranks in MCW up until they cemented their spot at MCW Purgatory 2011. That night the duo picked up the top championship in the company when Glory Braddock won the MCW World Heavyweight Championship inside Hell in a Cell.

The Apocalypse
Glory and Brittany would travel back to the Millennium Wrestling Alliance where their goal was quite simple: dominate the company and retake the world heavyweight title. Meanwhile, back in Motor City Wrestling, the gang war had all but disintegrated into utter chaos and anarchy. Glory Braddock, in an attempt to reign in the chaos, aligned herself with Aerik Walker, Jackson Adams, and Angelica Jones to form Apocalypse; a group bent on restoring order to MCW even if by force.

The End of MCW
The Apocalypse had much success, with Jackson Adams capturing the vacant Motor City Championship and Glory Braddock retaining the World Heavyweight Championship in a match against The Iceman Eric Sailes in a match that ended in controversy. One month later the controversy was put to rest when Glory Braddock successfully defeated Eric Sailes in a ladder match to retain the MCW World Heavyweight Championship.

The Future Is Now
That match proved to be the last match of the MCW era as the great company closed its doors. The Future Wrestling Alliance was opened in its place. Upon joining "The British Bombshell" was awarded one half of the world tag team championship and the world heavyweight championship, the two belts she never lost from MCW when it closed its doors. Any doubt as to the validity of her title reign was erased at Devil's Playground, when she successfully defended her world heavyweight championship against three opponents in the Hell on Earth match. On that same night Glory's tag team partner, Brittany Lohan, would make her return to FWA, becoming a member of Apocalypse.

Sic Semper Tyrannis
Meanwhile, two fourths of Apocalypse, Brittany Lohan and Glory Braddock, would return to the Millennium Wrestling Alliance, with the goal of bringing down the company, making them pay for what Glory views as their bias against her and favoritism towards Steve Pinex. Together, as Extreme Prejudice, they quickly ran roughshod over the company. Glory competed against Steve Pinex for the world heavyweight championship at Old School Anarchy but failed to win the title. Glory is suspicious of how that match went down due to there being a guest referee: MWA's Sierra Devereaux.

Apocalypse Now
Glory Braddock's dominance would continue within the Future Wrestling Alliance as she defeated Jacob Laymon and Priest in a ladder match at Pride to retain her world heavyweight championship. Already her reign as champion had become the longest reign in the history of the company and her Apocalypse group had proven to be the most dominant faction in recent memory, twice outlasting groups such as End Effect and beating back all challengers to their supremacy. Braddock, though, felt it was time for a change. Under the direction of Glory, Apocalypse booted Angelica Jones from the group, replacing her with Marie Annabelle Williams. Williams brought the FWA Inception Championship with her to Apocalypse and this change of attitude, kicking out a popular Angelica Jones, caused the fans to turn on the formerly popular Glory Braddock.

Losing Focus
Glory Braddock's dominance would continue within the Future Wrestling Alliance as she defeated Jacob Laymon and Priest in a ladder match at Pride to retain her world heavyweight championship. Already her reign as champion had become the longest reign in the history of the company and her Apocalypse group had proven to be the most dominant faction in recent memory, twice outlasting groups such as End Effect and beating back all challengers to their supremacy. Braddock, though, felt it was time for a change. Under the direction of Glory, Apocalypse booted Angelica Jones from the group, replacing her with Marie Annabelle Williams. Williams brought the FWA Inception Championship with her to Apocalypse and this change of attitude, kicking out a popular Angelica Jones, caused the fans to turn on the formerly popular Glory Braddock. After also losing the MCW World Heavyweight Championship to Jacob Laymon at Dedication, she is now taking a temporary leave from the sport she loves to be with her husband and children.

Return to MCW
In March 2012, rumors were running rampant about Braddock possibly returning to MCW. Those rumors were confirmed true as she appeared live on Mayhem 5 in front of the cheering crowds in the Joe Louis Arena to announce her return to Motor City Wrestling. Reigning MCW World Heavyweight Champion and Glory's best friend, Sophie O'Brian, expected the returning Braddock to be on her side upon her return. Braddock, though, would have none of Sophie's desires to kill MCW. Glory was a changed person. She no longer wanted to kill MCW but to preserve its rich history, a history she helped build. Her first match back was against Nick Cagero at Deliverance 2012. She won that match with a triangle choke and learned she would compete against Brittany Lohan later on in the night to determine a new number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. Lohan would assault Braddock before the bell could ring and thus Braddock would win via disqualification, earning herself a shot against Sophie O'Brian for the World Heavyweight title. The match itself weighed heavy on the hearts of both O'Brian and Braddock, as they both were graduates of the Glenn Braddock Wrestling School. Despite a valiant effort, O'Brian could not overcome her former friend. Glory Braddock won her eighth World Heavyweight Championship by making O'Brian pass out to the triangle choke.

War for MCW
Glory Braddock was later recruited by her cousin and new MCW Owner Kayla Redfield to become a part of a group intended to save MCW from anyone who wished to see its destruction. The group was composed of Glory, Kirsta Lewis, and Lohan. Braddock would later learn, though, that Kayla Redfield had received extra assistance, paying off the likes of John "Wrath" Ojeda to help her take out the enemies of MCW. Glory was disappointed in her cousin for resorting to a hired hit man but that was the least of her problems. Priest had returned to MCW and wanted payback, that's not to mention a world heavyweight title defense against Greg Venom and Brittany Lohan at Purgatory in a Seven Stages of Hell Match. The Seven Stages of Hell Match did not go as planned for Braddock, as she lost the title to Brittany Lohan. Glory, though, held true to a promise she made to the fans that she would retire from active competition in MCW after that match and retire she did.

A New Era in GDW
Glory Braddock had been serving as the President of the Wrestler's Union in GDW for the better part of a year but she had come to believe that she could not properly understand the needs of the wrestlers she served unless she herself was a wrestler. Therefore, with the assistance of new head hancho in charge at GDW Dan Herrera, she was signed to a new contract at GDW that allowed her to compete. Her first match would be against Angela Jameson. She lost that match but quickly recovered with a win in a triple threat match against Dawn Lohan and Katherine Grayson and then two straight victories over Howlin Mad Murdock. Glory, along with Sophie O'Brian and Mark O'Brian of Total War, reformed Trinity. Glory Braddock is now set to face off against Brady James one on one and she hopes defeating him will earn her a world title shot. She defeated Brady James, handing him his first loss in his wrestling career. That victory wasn't enough to earn a title shot, though. She had to face "Howlin Mad" Murdock one more time. She defeated Murdock and finally was granted a shot at the GDW World Heavyweight Championship.

Glory The Executive
Shortly before signing her contract to return to GDW, Glory Braddock had also bought the defunct wrestling company Global Championship Wrestling. Glory now runs GCW as its owner. She was quickly met with resistance and challenge from the likes of Matt Alan and Mike Michaels as well as Alexander Midas and The Midas Corporation. Braddock dispatched of Michaels and now has formed a team to face off against Matt Alan and Alexander Midas's respective forces in a War Games style event, hoping to stop the revolt.

Undisputed Champion
The British Bombshell got wind that MWA was having difficulties with the departure of several superstars, including its World Heavyweight Champion Kacy Knight. At first Glory was content to sit on the sidelines but her best friend Matthew Bowden, himself a member of the MWA roster, talked into one last run. Glory entered the Any Given Night Match at the 2012 Old School Anarchy event to crown a new World Heavyweight Champion. Glory outlasted the best MWA had to offer to become the new MWA World Heavyweight Champion. This set up a unique situation, for one week later she received her promised GDW world title shot against Brady James. Glory made history that night at Survival of the Fittest by defeating Brady James to win the GDW World Heavyweight Championship, her third GDW World Title, and becoming the first wrestler to hold both the MWA and GDW World Titles at the same time. The MWA Booking Committee has given Jon Cherry a shot at the MWA World Heavyweight Championship while Andreas Lasiewicz won a Global X Match to earn a shot at the GDW World Heavyweight Championship and thus the first major challenge to Glory Braddock's Undisputed Championship will come in the form of Cherry and Lasiewicz. On the November 19th edition of Battlezone from Chicago Glory Braddock defeated Jon Cherry via choke out thanks to her Shekhinah Glory submission hold to retain the MWA World Heavyweight Championship. She was attacked after the match by Brad Jackson, thus setting up a collision between these two superstars at MWA's Rising Sons pay per view with the MWA World Heavyweight Championship on the line. At the GDW Apocalypse pay per view Glory Braddock fought tooth and nail with Andreas Lasiewicz. At the end of the night, Glory Braddock tapped out and Lasiewicz was pinned, at the same exact time, forcing a draw between the two combatants and thus Braddock retained the title. This was the first time in her career Braddock had tapped out and the first time since 2006 since Lasiewicz had been pinned. The next Fever would be GDW's Ten Year Anniversary Show and Glory Braddock would defend her GDW World Heavyweight Championship against Samantha Raine. Glory bounced back from her mediocre performance at Apocalypse by forcing Raine to pass out to her Shekhinah Glory triangle choke hold in order to retain the GDW World Heavyweight Championship. That night she also issued a challenge to Lasiewicz for a rematch for the GDW World Championship at the 2013 Civil War. At the Rising Sons pay per view Glory's claim as undisputed champion would be lost as Jackson defeated her for the MWA World Championship.

After the loss of the world title she became convinced that there was some form of corruption within the Millennium Wrestling Alliance. She recruited her friends, Sophie O'Brian and Mark O'Brian as well as Brittany Lohan, to root it out. Sophie, however, wanted to take things too far. Sophie wanted to burn MWA to the ground. Braddock refused to sit by and watch this happen and thus this group of friends went their separate ways. Glory Braddock and Brittany Lohan striking out on their own in MWA, reforming the Twisted & Sadistic tag team, while Sophie and Mark went off to try and destroy MWA.

Road To Wrestlecade
Glory Braddock, with her GDW World Heavyweight title defense against Andreas Lasiewicz at Civil War coming up, announced that her first term as union president was up for election and that she would be running for a second term against challengers Dawn Lohan, Mike Young, and Blake Mason. Glory Braddock won re-election but lost the GDW World Heavyweight Championship to Lasiewicz at Civil War despite choking him out because she failed to realize her shoulders were on the mat for a pin. She cashed in her rematch clause for the next live Fever from Sydney, Australia. It would be the third in a series of brutal encounters between the two and in the end, in a controversial circumstance, Glory Braddock tapped Lasiewicz out to win her fourth GDW World Heavyweight Championship. Glory Braddock went on to the main event of Wrestlecade X to defend the GDW World Championship against Charles Kessler. Braddock defeated Kessler, becoming only the second champion to successfully defend the title in Wrestlecade history.

Purgatory Cometh
There was no rest for the weary champion as it was announced that she would be part of a six way elimination ladder match at Purgatory for the championship. First she had to defend against Charles Kessler in a Wrestlecade rematch live on Fever. They fought to a standstill until Cameron Chase interfered, attacking both combatants and causing a no-contest, and announcing that she, too, would be part of the six way world title match at Purgatory. The other challengers to Glory's title at Purgatory will be Charles Kessler, Silver, Magdalena, and Constance Black. Braddock lost the championship on that night to Lady Magdalena. With a brewing gang war Glory Braddock reformed Apocalypse, recruiting Alana Starr, Andre Jordan, and Kurt Logan to join her in her quest to fight the other factions, maintain peace, and provide fairness in GDW. At the same time, back in the Millennium Wrestling Alliance, Glory Braddock had defeated LJ Black, Sean McBride, and later Alexander Towne to earn her way back into the MWA World Championship picture. Unfortunately it would not be a one on one encounter as she would prefer. Instead it would be as one of eight participants in the Pure War Gauntlet to decide the MWA World Championship. Her personal life started to take a downhill turn at that point as her husband, Randal Williams, left her. Glory now must find a way to focus on her upcoming Ultimate Submission Match against Sophie O'Brian at Desperate Measures. Due to a shocking turn of events in which her trainer and father Glenn Braddock turned on her during the match, Sophie defeated Glory in the Ultimate Submissions Match, but as a result this caused Sophie and Glory to rekindle their friendship, which was the goal of Glenn Braddock all along. After going through this personal Purgatory, Glory has restarted her wrestling company, GCW, and is also pursuing a goal of competing in the Olympic Games as an amateur wrestler. Glory also has decided to rejoin a place she once called home, FWA.

The FWA Return
Glory returned to FWA victoriously, defeating both Eric Herrera and Nate Lawson back to back to become number one contender to the FWA World Heavyweight Championship. Braddock's goal in challenging for the title wasn't primarily to become a two time champion, but to put the reigning champion, Isis Derrida, to the test. Many had doubted the validity of Derrida's reign and Glory, knowing the importance of a company having a valid champion, wanted to make him earn it the hard way; in an iron man match. The match looked as if it would end in a draw when Isis assaulted Glory's father, Glenn Braddock, who was sitting ringside for this match. Glory stayed outside the ring to help her father, thus getting counted out and Isis won the deciding fall. Glory decided at that point to make Derrida pay dearly for his actions and to do this she resurrected the group known as Apocalypse. Jackson Adams, Marie Jones, and Jessica Lasiewicz joined Glory as a part of this new Apocalypse. Since then Glory Braddock has defeated The Lone Star Outlaws and Scott Wilson on her path towards a rematch against Isis Derrida for the FWA World Championship at Darkness Within. It was there at Darkness Within, in her home country, that Glory Braddock defeated Isis Derrida to regain the FWA World Championship, which would be her thirteenth world championship overall. Glory would go on to successfully fend off a challenge from FWA Intercontinental Champion Priest on the following Mayhem before the company closed its doors. Glory Braddock would then announce her retirement from active competition so that she can focus on preparing for the Olympic games, her pending marriage to Kurt Logan, and running Global Championship Wrestling.

The Birth of Gloria Marie Noel
Glory married Kurt, GCW was a success, and everything seemed wonderful for her until Aphrodite Noel reared her head to once again enslave her cousin Julia Braddock. Glory had enough and decided to wage war against Aphrodite. It grew until Glory finally decided to risk it all. She put her own freedom on the line to try to win Julia's back. What Glory didn't realize is that Julia had been brainwashed and she helped Aphrodite win the match. Glory was forced to serve Aphrodite as her maid for months until she finally broke down and gave in. Realizing that it would be better to live with freedom under any circumstances than as a slave she gave Aphrodite what she wanted; she changed her last name to Noel, legally becoming Aphrodite Noel's daughter. Aphrodite also forced Glory to start dressing the part of a lady, wearing dresses and skirts and high heels at all times, thus eliminating the tomboy personality she had for so long. Now she and Julia are "sisters". Eventually Glory broke down mentally and she, like Julia, became brainwashed into the new reality she had found herself in. Gloria and Julia both, in every sense of the world, were children of Aphrodite Noel.

Winning Her Freedom
Eventually Julia would come to her senses and break free from Aphrodite and Camelot. Gloria, on the other hand, was mentally and emotionally affected through her time with Aphrodite. Even after she won her freedom from Aphrodite and Camelot, Glory chose to remain with Aphrodite. Together they ruled GCW as mother and daughter. That would not last long, however, as Kurt Logan, Glory's husband, had a clash with Aphrodite. Glory, being forced to choose, chose Kurt over Aphrodite. Glory once again uses the Braddock name but is still legally Aphrodite's daughter. This is fine by her, as she still views herself as a Noel and still embraces Aphrodite as her mother, but the Braddock fighting spirit is back within her. So much so that she wanted to return to active in-ring competition. She sold 50% of her stock in GCW so that there would be no conflict of interest. Immediately she set to work proving she had not lost it as she buzzed through talents such as Joey Michaels, Emanual Dionisia, and Katherine Prescott. She fought to a standstill with former GCW World Champions such as Travis Vessey. At the 2016 Civil War Glory Braddock defeated Katherine Prescott again, this time via submission. Shortly thereafter Braddock stepped up to the plate as a volunteer to team with Victoria Salinas as part of an eight person tag team match against the Executive Order force that had been plaguing GCW for so long.

Return of FWA
Glory Braddock, along with Victoria Salinas, Axl Austin, and Isabella Harker, would go on to win the eight person tag team match at GCW Resurrection V, thus ridding GCW of The Executive Order once and for all. This was one day after Glory Braddock was inducted into the GCW Hall of Fame. That same Resurrection V weekend Glory Braddock went into negotiations with the returning Future Wrestling Alliance. Glory, still recognized as the reigning FWA World Champion for two years running, signed a contract to wrestle for FWA, returning to the company where she had reigned supreme. A match had been set up for the first Mayhem event, Glory would face former rival Rayne Young. Unfortunately, due to financial reasons, the FWA restart had to be put on hold. When it finally did return, Glory would defend her championship against Rayne Young. It appeared as if Rayne would become champion but Glory managed to retain her championship by the skin of her teeth due to a timely screwjob from FWA Owner Duane Jacobs.

Fight For Power
Meanwhile in GCW, Glory Braddock had been trying to convince the Board of Directors to give her power back, power to control GCW and run GCW the way she wanted to run it. But the Board refused to do so, due to the fact that she still thought of herself as Aphrodite Noel's daughter. Glory was enraged and begun to hatch a plan with none other than GCW's original owner himself Matt Alan. Together with Glory's husband Kurt Logan they created a group of warriors who would try to restore what, in their eyes, was the Original Intent of GCW and that's why they called themselves Original Intent. Among the members of the group were also Caitlyn Perry and Sophie O'Brian, who had taken upon the role of Glory's "proteges". Caitlyn seemed to embrace the role but it is clear that Sophie is reluctant and is only doing so under duress. What Glory holds over Sophie's head remains to be seen. Glory, though, has used her proteges as well as the rest of Original Intent to muscle her way in GCW, overpowering the likes of Lester Sampson and even Angelica Jones, leaving both in bloody messes. Glory and Original Intent would continue their reign of terror and Angelica would continue to be at their heels the entire time, trying to get her hands on Glory Braddock as a payback for the attack, and to get one more match against Glory. The match would come at Deadly Dreams in an Empty Arena Match. Angelica decimated Glory Braddock and left her bloody and unconscious and yet, Angelica forfeited, all because she wanted to humiliate Glory and send the message that she could beat her and end her any time she wanted. As a result of this humiliation and other Original Intent losses at Deadly Dreams, Original Intent members Matt Alan and Steve & Derek Powers questioned the leadership of Glory Braddock. All three left the group, leaving Original Intent and Glory Braddock in an even more weakened state than before. This weakened state led to the GCW Board of Directors finally being able to negotiate a deal with Glory where she would sell the company, leaving her as just a wrestler within GCW, no longer the owner.

The Secret Files of Glory Braddock
Despite being left in a weakened state, Glory was still granted a shot at the GCW Global Championship. Livewire General Manager Janelle St. Claire had warned Glory ahead of time that if the remaining Original Intent interfered in the match, she would reveal a secret from the alleged "Secret Files of Glory Braddock", a file she procured from The Board of Directors. Original Intent did get involved but despite their involvement, Glory still failed to capture the Global Championship. As punishment for not heeding her warning, Janelle St. Claire revealed one of the secrets: The fact that Glory Braddock, as owner, had tried to blackball Jazmyn Rain, a former world champion, from entering the company. This sparked a feud between the two and outrage at Glory from Jamzyn's fans. Original Intent was further weakened when Sophie O'Brian rebelled against Glory's leadership and, with the help of her brother Mark O'Brian, left the group and beat down Glory in the process. Caitlyn Perry, feeling as if Glory's assistance was not as good as she thought it would be, abandoned Glory next. The final straw came when Kurt Logan, Glory's own husband, could no longer stand losing all the time and so he left as well. With Glory all alone she was back up against a wall and was forced to accept a one on one match against Jazmyn Rain at Survival of the Fittest. Braddock would lose that match to Jazmyn Rain.

A Resurrection
After losing to Jazmyn at Survival of the Fittest, Glory was forced to do some deep introspection. She admitted she was wrong for trying to blackball Jazmyn Rain and at that moment many had thought the old Glory Braddock may return but, as it would turn out, she was having some inner conflict of her own. A part of her wanted to be the old Glory Braddock but another part of her realized that she had always wanted to not only have a mother but also to be beautiful lady, both of which Aphrodite Noel gave to her. Glory's former ally, Sophie O'Brian, utilized this inner conflict to try and destroy Glory and take the mantle of Best in the World from her. Glory would fight back, with the help of Jazmyn Rain, and she would defeat Sophie O'Brian in singles action and she would defeat Sophie and her brother Mark both in tag team action at the End of the Year Bash.

Glory The Executive
In 2012 Glory Braddock negotiated a deal to buy Global Championship Wrestling from then global promotion Global Division of Wrestling. Braddock used it to resurrect the once forgotten company and, within a year, brought it back to prominence as one of the elite companies in professional wrestling. Later on in 2013 Glory used the financial success she gained from GCW to purchase the bankrupting GDW, consolidating it with GCW to complete her global superpower within sports. In 2014 her future as an executive and businesswoman would be threatened when she lost a match to Aphrodite Noel, a match that held with it a stipulation forcing her to become a servant of Aphrodite Noel. Six months into her servitude, fearing the possibility of Aphrodite forcing her to sell GCW to her or the Board of Directors stripping her of power to act, Glory gave in and decided made a deal with the devil: she agreed to let Aphrodite adopt her. Glory Braddock then became Gloria Noel, Aphrodite's daughter. Eventually the contractual binding obligation was done away with and, as Aphrodite's daughter, Glory once again felt safe and secure with her power and standing in GCW as its supreme leader.

Unfortunately the Board of Directors did not see it that way. They took the measure of stripping Glory of her power, giving it to the GCW President until such a time as the GCW owner could be trusted again. Glory chose to sell fifty percent of the company: twenty-five to Blake Mason and twenty-five to Donovan Kayl. The two co-owners were granted power to act but Glory Braddock, while she was still fifty percent majority owner, still was without power to act within her own company.

Now Glory Marie Noel is seeking to branch out even further with her corporate empire. She has been a wrestler, a trainer, and an executive. Now she plans to start a managerial agency for wrestlers needing guidance within the industry. And while she works on her managerial and training services, she has sold her fifty percent share of stock in Global Championship Wrestling to the GCW Board of Directors who in turn sold it to former GCW President Dr. Henry Van Stanton.

Style and Strategy
Glory Braddock can wrestle technically if needed but she isn't afraid to take a high risk either. She will usually take to the air against much larger opponents while trying to ground others. She is well versed in the art of Greco-Roman style amateur wrestling due to the teachings of her father.

Strengths
Very intelligent. Expert amateur wrestler and mat technician. Lots of speed and agility. Very resilient, can take a lot of abuse and punishment without giving in.

Weaknesses
Her size makes her vulnerable to a power/strength based attack. She is also not a natural brawler. She does not usually do well when the match gets out of control or, worse yet, turns hardcore.

Ten Greatest Matches
Listed in order

vs. Andreas Lasiewicz I
Andreas Lasiewicz had returned to GDW months earlier and had been on an undefeated streak for six and a half years until he became number one contender to Glory Braddock's GDW World Championship. Braddock had also returned to active competition a few months before Lasiewicz's return and was on a tear, including wins over Dawn Lohan, Katherine Grayson, "Howlin Mad" Murdock, and a victory over previously undefeated Brady James to become GDW World Champion. This set the stage for a dream match between two legends and greats at the Apocalypse pay per view. At the end of a brutal and bloody match Lasiewicz got Braddock locked in a triangle choke. What he didn't realize was his own shoulders were on the mat. Braddock tapped for the first time in her career but the fact that Lasiewicz was pinned at the same time for the first time in six and a half years saved her title, causing t he match to result in a draw.

Hell on Earth Match
The Hell on Earth Match was Jacob Laymon's sick, twisted idea for a World Heavyweight Championship match at the Devil's Playground pay per view. It was a sadistic combination of a Weapon's Lair, Glass Chamber, and Charged Chamber. In this match Glory Braddock successfully defended her FWA World Heavyweight Championship against Rain, Jackson Adams, and Priest in what would have to be her toughest, bloodiest battle in her career.

vs. Priest vs. Jacob Laymon
Jacob Laymon returned to the ring, vowing to reclaim a championship he had never lost. Priest wanted desperately to prove that he was still a force to be reckoned with in professional wrestling. Glory Braddock would have to defend against both men in a triple threat ladder match. Despite the deck being stacked against her, Braddock would retain the MCW World Heavyweight Championship.

vs. Steve Pinex I
Glory Braddock had just defeated Steve Pinex's student, Vivien Storm, to win the gold. Pinex then took on the challenge of Glory Braddock at Rising Sons. In an epic showdown, and what was, at that time, Glory's toughest challenge, Braddock would pin Pinex to retain the MWA World Heavyweight Championship.

5 Way Hell in a Cell
The MCW World Heavyweight Champion, Eric Sailes, was put in a seemingly impossible situation by having to defend his title against Glory Braddock, Brittany Lohan, Rayne Young, and Zombie Mr. Perfect 3000 in a 5 Way Hell in a Cell at Purgatory. Sailes battled valiantly but in the end it was Glory Braddock who was left standing as the winner of her second MCW World Heavyweight Championship.

vs. Eric Sailes II
This match was epic for three reasons. First of all, it was a ladder match, and ladder matches tend to be big. Secondly, it was for the MCW World Heavyweight Championship. And finally, this was the final World Heavyweight Championship match in MCW history. In this match Glory Braddock and Eric Sailes fought tooth and nail but in the end it was Glory Braddock who climbed the ladder and secured the gold and the win in this historic match.

vs. Vivien Storm
Glory Braddock never asked for, nor did she expect to be placed into a World Heavyweight title situation so soon after joining the Millennium Wrestling Alliance, but sure enough she was put up against then champion Vivien Storm. In a shocking upset, Braddock defeated the champion to win her first MWA World Heavyweight Championship.

vs. Dante
The MCW World Heavyweight Championship had been vacated after MCW General Manager Matt Alan had stripped Isaac Reynolds of the gold. It was decided that Glory Braddock and the monster Dante would do battle in a street fight to decide the new champion. Once again Braddock overcame the odds and won the title in a match that most said was unwinnable.

Apocalypse Match
Charles Kessler wasn't exactly favored to win this match, as he was forced to defend the GDW World Heavyweight Championship against five other competitors that included Meagan Collins, Jake Storm, Mystic, Coral Marie, and Glory Braddock. Glory Braddock would end up walking away from this six person Apocalypse Match with the title in her possession, her first World Heavyweight Championship of her career.

vs. Mystic II
The first encounter between Glory Braddock and Mystic ended in a draw. To finally decide things once and for all, GDW President Kayla Redfield decided that Glory Braddock would put the GDW World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Mystic one more time, only this time with two extra twists: it would be inside of a steel cage and Mystic's GDW Revolution Championship would also be on the line. Braddock defeated Mystic this time to unify the championships.

Mystic
You never get an easy ride when you are at the top of the mmountain, but Glory's reign as the World Heavyweight Champion proved excessively difficult thanks to Mystic. Mystic led an uprising against the champion that included many brutal, bloody encounters. After a street fight and a steel cage match, Glory Braddock finally ended the long and bloody war with Mystic by unifying the World Heavyweight and Revolution Championships.

Angela Jameson
The rivalry with Angela Jameson started out when they were stablemates within Meagan Collins' group Suffrage. Glory Braddock was the reigning world heavyweight champion but Meagan Collins, feeling threatened by Braddock's growing power and influence, felt it was necessary to oust her from the group. So she hatched a plan to put the belt on Angela Jameson. Jameson gladly accepted the chance at being crowned champion. Glory and Angela would have a total of three matches including the infamous screwjob, a match at Civil War where Glory would win the title back, and then a hell in a cell rubber match where Angela would reclaim the gold.

Brittany Lohan
Glory's cousin, Angelica Jones, had recently retired and many were expecting Glory Braddock to carry on her legendary legacy. The shock came when Angelica turned on Glory and sided with Brittany Lohan. Lohan, as Angelica's new student, when learn from her new mentor's teachings and would take on Glory in two brutal wars over the MCW Motor City Championship as well as the right to lay claim to the Jones legacy. Glory would defeat Lohan on both occasions. Ironically enough, these two fierce rivals would end up becoming the longest reigning and most dominant world tag team champions in MCW history, holding the belts for over 300 days.

Jackson Adams
Jackson Adams and Glory Braddock had their first match in MCW. Adams got the better of Braddock in that first encounter. Their second encounter would be with an extra added twist: the MCW Motor City Championship would be on the line and this time, with the added incentive, Glory Braddock defeated Adams to win the gold. These two superstars have also battled in GDW, once in a non-title situation where Glory Braddock defeated Adams, and then a second time when the Fever Television Championship was on the line and Adams surprised the British Bombshell to win the gold. The two are tied at two wins apiece, now, and there's no clear indication of that changing anytime soon, as they are now both members of the Apocalypse stable.

Eric Sailes
If there ever was such a thing as a professional rivalry that had nothing to do with personal bitterness or envy, then this would be it. "The Iceman" Eric Sailes would lose the MCW World Heavyweight Championship to Glory Braddock. They battled in a rematch that ended in a draw and then their third match, a ladder match, Glory finally put the exclamation point on the rivalry, winning the match, retaining the title, and proving once and for all that she was the undisputed champion of the world.

Steve Pinex
Glory Braddock traveled to the Millennium Wrestling Alliance not looking for any trouble, but happened upon it when she was thrust into the world heavyweight title picture against Steve Pinex's student, Vivien Storm. Braddock won the title but would later have to defend it against Pinex one on one at the Rising Sons pay per view. Glory would defeat Pinex cleanly in the center of the ring. She thought that would've been the end of it, but Pinex, not able to take a loss well, got a rematch in a four way that also included Vivien Storm and then Heritage Champion Jack Gaither. Glory lost the title without being pinned when Pinex defeated Jack Gaither. Glory would not take that lying down. She opted to wage a war against MWA and Steve Pinex. It all culminated at the Old School Anarchy pay per view where Glory would face him a second time one on one but would come up short in her bid to reclaim the title.

Jacob Laymon
Jacob Laymon would return to the ring with one goal in mind: reclaim a championship he never lost. Therefore he would target the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, Glory Braddock. He came up short in his first attempt, losing to Braddock in a ladder match at Pride. Later on Glory gained another victory over Laymon, this time in tag team competition. Finally, at Dedication, Laymon would defeat Braddock to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Andreas Lasiewicz
Glory Braddock was the GDW World Heavyweight Champion when Lasiewicz won a Global X Match to become the number one contender for the title. It was a dream match of epic proportions featuring a GDW legend of the past against a GDW legend of the present. Little did either of them or the rest of GDW realize that this rivalry would end up featuring three battles between these two athletes, none of the three ending with a decisive winner.

Isis Derrida
This initially began as Glory Braddock's quest to give FWA what it needed; a worthy, legitimate champion. Many felt Isis Derrida was not a worthy and legitimate champion and thus Glory decided to give Isis the chance to prove to the world that he was worthy. They were all tied up in an Iron Man Match that ended when Isis attacked Glory's father to cause Glory to get counted out and thus he retained his title. Braddock's entire viewpoint shifted as of that point. No longer was she out to help Isis in any way. Now she simply wanted to hurt him and get revenge. In a rematch two months later Glory Braddock would defeat Isis Derrida to become FWA World Heavyweight Champion.

Factions and Team Memberships
The British Bombshell has always been a team player. The fact that she won nine world tag team championships and four awards for her tag team wrestling is a statement to that. Being a member of a faction is also not foreign to Glory, as she has always been willing to work with others to accomplish a common goal. Below is a list of teams she has been a part of.
