Lion City Hit Girl, as Alexis Lee is known in the ring, is Singapore’s only professional female wrestler. Since her first pro outing here in 2013 when she was just 18, she has won several championship titles and even wrestles men twice her size.
With a natural athleticism and unwavering tenacity, Lee has won a few championship titles, including the All Action Wrestling women’s championship, the Championship Wrestling Entertainment Vixen title, and the coveted Singapore Pro Wrestling Queen of Asia belt, which she held until she lost it in November 2023 to Japan’s Yuki Kamifuku.
Her trademark skeleton make-up all done, Lee readies herself for the night’s bout with a series of warm-ups and stretches before the audience arrives. Pro wrestling, especially for women, is not a mainstream sport in Singapore. Lee is the only professional female wrestler managed by SPW, which also represents 23 professional male wrestlers.
Lee delivering a chop to the chest of Japanese model-turned-wrestler Saki Akai at the Foochow Building on May 26, 2023. Akai announced her retirement from wrestling just before the match. Lee said she was bullied as a child, and watching wrestling on both the internet and TV became an ideal escape for her.“I watched a lot of WWE wrestling clips and I often fantasised about gaining the upper hand, overcoming the bullies one day when I grew up.”World Wrestling Entertainment , the US-based pro wrestling organisation, provides what is the ultimate platform for many pro wrestlers. Lee aspires to be featured in WWE.
The top female pro wrestling federation there is Gaea Japan, founded in 1995 by Chigusa Nagayo, a top wrestler who has since retired.
