Kiana James, formerly in corporate America, has successfully transitioned into a WWE superstar after quitting her job to pursue wrestling. She trained at Flatbacks Wrestling School in Florida, founded by Shawn Spears and Tyler Breeze. James views her diverse background, including gymnastics and dance, as beneficial to her wrestling career.
Her journey in WWE developmental brand NXT began in February 2022. After debuting on the main roster in June 2024, she faced a year-long layoff due to a leg injury. However, earlier this month, James achieved a significant career milestone by winning a triple threat match, earning her a place in the upcoming women's Elimination Chamber.
