Professional wrestling career

Training (2019–2021)

Hart first began training at the Academy SOPW with Ken Anderson.[2] On November 22, 2019, Hart had her debut match against Alyna Kyle, which Hart won.[3] Hart sought additional training at the Nightmare Factory, 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.[4]

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.[5][6] She aligned with the team of the Varsity Blonds (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.[7] On the May 25 episode of Dark, Hart earned her first AEW win by pinning Tesha Price.[8] On the September 4 episode of Dark, Hart injured her leg, making her unable to compete in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out.[9] 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.[10]

House of Black and TBS Champion (2022–present)

On the December 8, 2021, episode of Dynamite, Malakai Black spat black mist into Hart's eyes, causing her to wear an eye patch, which led to Hart showing signs of opposition to the Varsity Blondes.[11][12] On the Beach Break special edition of Rampage, Hart faced Jade Cargill in a match for the AEW TBS Championship, but lost.[13] On the April 6, 2022, episode of Dynamite, Hart participated in the Owen Hart Cup where she lost to Hikaru Shida in the qualifying round. At Double or Nothing, Hart officially joined the House of Black by helping them win against Death Triangle in a six-man tag team match, turning heel in the process.[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.[15][16] 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[17] and becoming the youngest champion in AEW history at the age of 22.[18]
