Growing up in Minnesota, Hart was a
competitive cheerleader for a period of six years.[2][3] However, by the time she had graduated from High School, she had become bored and frustrated with it.[4] Feeling that she had already accomplished everything she could within the world of cheerleading, Hart sought to transition to professional wrestling, believing that it could offer her a long-term career.[3]
Professional wrestling career
Training (2019–2021)
Hart first began training at the Academy SOPW with
Ken Anderson in Minnesota.[5] On November 22, 2019, Hart had her debut match against Alyna Kyle, which Hart won.[6] Hart sought additional training at the Nightmare Factory in Georgia,[3] and on March 28, 2021, at their second showcase, Hart took part in a tag match teaming with Spencer Kitz to take on Hyena Hera and Karma Dean; the two lost the match.[7]
All Elite Wrestling (2021–present)
Varsity Blondes (2021–2022)
Starting in May 2021, Hart began to work with
All Elite Wrestling (AEW), appearing on AEW Dark and AEW Dynamite.[8][9] Recruited exceptionally early into her professional wrestling career, Hart's first ever match for AEW was only the ninth ever in her career.[10]
Hart aligned with the team of the Varsity Blondes (
Brian Pillman Jr. and
Griff Garrison) as a cheerleader for several months and was at ringside with them for each of their matches during that time.[11] On the May 25 episode of Dark, Hart earned her first AEW win by pinning
Tesha Price.[12] On the September 4 episode of Dark, Hart injured her leg, making her unable to compete in the
Casino Battle Royale at
All Out.[13] Hart returned to the ring on the September 28 edition of Dark (originally taped on September 11), where she faced Reka Tehaka and beat her by
pinfall.[14]
At
WrestleDream on October 1, 2023, Hart challenged
Kris Statlander for the AEW TBS Championship, which Hart lost, ending her 25-match winning streak.[19][20] Hart then earned another title shot at
Full Gear, defeating Statlander and
Skye Blue in a
three-way match by pinning Blue, marking the first title win in her career[21] and becoming the youngest champion in AEW history at the age of 22.[22] At
Worlds End, Hart retained her title against
Abadon with help from Blue.[23]
When Hart began her career in All Elite Wrestling, her character was a straightforward play on her legitimate background in cheerleading.[28] She was initially paired with Brian Pillman Jr and Griff Garrison as the "Varsity Blondes", a group of Varsity athlete characters. After joining the House of Black, Hart took on a gothic witch-like character, which has been described as "
Stevie Nicks meets
The Undertaker".[28]
