History[]

The Black Rose Mafia (2011 - 2012)[]

Main Article: The Black Rose Mafia

Team Lethality is Born (2012 - Present)[]

With Talia departing PCW. Many were not sure whether the Mafia would continue under just Danielle and Mariah or if they were just going to be allies while concentrating on their own careers. However, they both were adamant about continuing on as a unit, even calling their alliance Team Lethality. On the September 29th edition of Rapture, Bella Brooks-Robinson, Rachel Robinson, Tom Pendergrass, Laurie Young and longtime associate of the Baker-Lopez clan, Israel Steele, all were revealed as members of the stable, as well as Ryan "The Reaper" Robinson stating his support for the stable through Twitter before being confirmed as a member himself.

Once the stable became established enough, Desiree Miles, TJ Parks, Aurora Rose and Danielle's protege Crystal Alvarez were added to the star studded line up. The group would get bigger when original member of the Black Rose Mafia Talia Skye would join the stable and become their official member, after recruitment from her best friend and leader, Danielle Lopez. Since the addition, Team Lethality gained two titles, with Reaper winning the PCW Platinum Championship and Danielle finally winning the big one by defeating Syn for the PCW World Heavyweight Championship to go along with the PCW World Tag Team Championship Mariah and Rachel hold, effectively making The Black Rose Mafia/Team Lethality as the only stable in PCW history to have held every single championship the promotion offered.

Disbandment[]

Following PCW's closure, Team Lethality members continued their domination in the promotions they were involved in, winning championships at will. However, in the year of 2014, with the rumors of team leader Danielle Lopez being dead, the future of the group was in doubt. Even after Danielle resurfacing, the members went off and did their own things and rivalries. There was occasional help in some rivalries by Team Lethalty members, but that was few and far between. By the summer time, they appeared together less and less, with The Lethal Barbarians doing their own thing in WWA, Crystal doing the same in CCP and JPW, and Tom in the main event scene in JPW while Laurie Young went missing. Hints were being dropped about the disbandment of Team Lethality for months, until Mi Pi Sexy's Reyna Carter implying that they weren't a thing on the 20th edition of WWA's Friday Night Frenzy.
