Resume Gap Explained
In May 2022 I was contacted by the WWE, or World Wrestling Entertainment, and asked to try out to be a WWE Superstar. Although I had no wrestling or acting experience, it was something that I could not turn down. From May to August, I trained daily with CrossFit, professional wrestling, and acting coaches to prepare myself. I attended the SummerSlam tryout in Nashville, Tennessee, in late July. Afterward, I was invited to the extended tryout in Orlando, Florida, in late August. Although I impressed the coaches, it is not easy wrestling at my height (I am 6’3, which would have made me the tallest female wrestler in WWE history), and I was encouraged to keep practicing and return to yet another tryout. I made the decision to focus on my professional career instead, and I am truly grateful for the entire experience.
