* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: This happens often, as wrestlers tend to disappear during and between seasons with no explanation. A recent example is Leia Makoa, who after reportedly giving Wrecking Ball a concussion went from being heavily featured and a top contender for the world title to gradually being dropped completely from the show.

* GeniusBruiser: Samantha Smart's gimmick, though heavier on the 'genius' than on the 'bruiser'.

* HardTruckin: Big Rig Betty, who's first appearance involves her bringing Lana Star and the Fabulous 4 to the arena in her truck after their car broke down.

** Both incarnations of The Disciplinarian, from "The Board of Education"

** The 2023 season noticeably bussed out Randi Rah Rah (with Coach Campanelli and Ariel Sky soon holding tryouts for a new member of Team Spirit and Kelsey Hornack taking part in a Wrestling/{{WWE}} tryout), the Disciplinarian (replaced on her team with the similarly-themed Classmaster, though would later return for the trios tournament), two thirds of the Heavy Metal Sisters (explained as Fury wanting to go solo and Razor returning to retirement), Siren the Voodoo Doll (mentioned as "taking a break" from WOW by commentary), Foxxy Fierce (explained as having been injured by Chainsaw), and AJ Mendez.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Angelica Dante, Chainsaw's formerly missing little sister who was never mentioned in any way prior to making her debut.

** Pep Riley, to Randi Rah Rah. Both blonde cheerleaders, replaced her in Team Spirit.

* TheGiant: Slam Dunk was tall with little other upside.

** The 2022 Team Spirit (Randi Rah Rah and Ariel Sky), still a wrestling cheerleader and a wrestling gymnast, respectively.
** The 2023 Team Spirit (Pep Riley and Ariel Sky), once again a wrestling cheerleader and a wrestling gymnast, respectively.

** The Classmaster, to the Disciplinarian. Similarly-themed gimmick, even replaced her in her team with GI Jane and Samantha Smart.

** The All-American Girls (Santana Garrett and Amber O'Neal)

* EverythingIsBigInTexas: Bronco Billie, Abilene Maverick, Stephy Slays

* CheapHeat: The more lighthearted than many more cheesecake than most promotion earned some infamy Wrestling/TessaBlanchard blocked off a fan's oxygen supply for cheap heat. There were apologies, but not from the perpetrator herself.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Usually averted with WOW's 'next week' videos, though from time to time they've been known to spoil the results of matches already in progress. Most notably, Coach Campanelli and Randi Rah Rah's tag title win was spoiled by the 'next week' video for that episode explicitly mentioning Miami Sweet Heat as the former champions.

** Santana Garrett and Tessa Blanchard are the daughters of wrestling dads

* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** Is it Miami Sweet Heat, Miami's Sweet Heat, or just Sweet Heat? They are billed on the roster page as Miami Sweet Heat, but the show uses all three at different points.
** Similarly, the Mother Truckers have been both billed as that and as just the Truckers on the show.
** Nikki Krampus, Krumpus, or Krumpas? Officially billed as the first, but all three pronunciations were used at least once during her time on the show.

* LargeHam: Even by ring announcer standards, Lauren Hunkele stands out with her ''extremely'' [[NoIndoorVoice loud voice]], outlandish dresses, and her habit of raising the mic "Statue of Liberty torch" style after making the "scheduled for one fall" announcement.

* ElectronicDanceMusic: Chantilly Chella's gimmick. She's billed from "The Fields of the Coachella Music Festival".
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Parodied. After the woman whose name would be revealed to be Mystery stole Terri Gold's WOW Championship belt, all the {{Heel}}s were being asked if they were responsible or knew who were. "The Heavy Metal Maniac" Riot said, "I'm into vandalism, not theft".

* SmallNameBigEgo: Lana Star, who would proclaim WOW to be "The Lana Star Show".

* [[ManlyMenCanHunt Strong Women Can Hunt]]: Jungle Grrrl talked more than a little about hunting. Jessie Jones is billed from Bardstown, KY and her "Dislike" is "People who can't hunt".

** Terri Gold was promoted as WOW's best, and for years was the only wrestler capable of beating Jungle Grrrl. Jungle Grrrl herself became this after the revival. Garrett had some questioning if she could knock Grrrl off but Lana Star interfered with that, so Wrestling/TessaBlanchard was the one to finally beat her.

* TheBully: "Governor's daughter" Abilene Maverick is sometimes a baby {{face}}, but has a compulsive need to torment those she sees as beneath her, especially Stephy Slays.

** The 2022 Randi Rah Rah, still a wrestling cheerleader
