James made her pro debut at the beginning of 2019 and started wrestling for RevPro a year into her career.
The 24-year-old signed with WWE in 2020 and was assigned to NXT UK during the pandemic. She wrestled at the BT Sports Studios shows through March 2022 with her last match against Stevie Turner, which she won.
The NXT UK brand was dissolved in September 2022 with plans for a project called “NXT Europe” that has yet to materialize.
Paul Levesque has cited the WWE-UFC merger as a reason for the delay in launching NXT Europe.
