The stage is set for the Women’s Rodeo World Championship finale in AT&T Stadium on Saturday, where $227,000 will be paid out in the team roping—a healthy portion of the $802K total purse.
Out of the six teams roping, half of them are from the Pro division, which determined by their number classification. These teams roped their way through two go-rounds and a semifinal to punch their ticket to AT&T Stadium.
To do it, they either had to finish No. 1 or 2 in the average on three head, or post the fast time in the semifinals.
Take a look at the final three WRWC Pro team roping pairs.
Markie Battaglia and Mandy Niesen
Battaglia and Niesen topped the Semifinals with a time of 6.79 seconds to earn their spot in AT&T Stadium. They finished No. 2 in Round 1 with a time of 8.42 seconds, and had a no-time in Round 2. They’ve won $4,750 per woman in the competition thus far.
Battaglia hails from Ramona, California, and is an avid promoter of all-girl team ropings on the West Coast. In 2010, she was Miss Rodeo California, and stays involved with pageant activities. 2025 marked her third qualification to the WRWC.
Niesen is a Copan, Oklahoma, cowgirl with California roots. The real estate agent has her hands full with two toddler daughters, and juggles supporting ranch rodeos and clinics in her free time.
Beverly Robbins and Jessy Remsburg
Robbins and Remsburg are AT&T veterans, having advanced to the WRWC finals in 2024. To advance to the Finals this year, the ladies roped in 11.91 seconds in Round 1, 7.84 seconds in Round 2 and 6.85 seconds in the Semifinals, topping the aggregate by more than 6 seconds.
So far, this Alabama team—who have been competing together for more than five years—have earned $6,500.
Cassidy Boggs and Rylie Smith
Boggs and Smith round out the WRWC Pro Team Roping pairs after finishing No. 2 in the average with a time of 33.51 seconds on three head.
The duo topped Round 1 with a 7.16-second run and posted times of 12.96 and 13.39 seconds in Round 2 and the Semis, respectively. So far, the team has earned $5,000 apiece.
Smith is a multi-event cowgirl, switching from breakaway to heeling, while Boggs sticks to the heading side—known for her smooth handles on a steer.
