The next action for the West Texas Roller Dollz will be at home on June 6 as they host the Oklahoma Victory Dolls in a WFTDA sanctioned bout. Duke City’s next bout will be a double header as the Munecas Muertas host the Rat City All Stars, and the Doomsdames skate against the D.I.A. in the Santa Ana Star Center on May 16th in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
