"I left it all...," she captioned an Instagram video about her leaving basketball for wrestling. "For a dream. For a moment. For a chance. One chapter ends, and I begin writing the next. Louder, bolder, mine."

"If you know me, you know it’s always been about legacy.And now.. I step into the world of @wwe," the post continued. "This is bigger than me. And there is a story to be told."

Tatyanna joined WWE in 2025 through its NXT program. As wrestling fans are aware, the NXT program features up-and-coming professional wrestlers within the company who have yet to debut on the company’s main Monday Night RAW or SmackDown weekly programs. Ava got her start with NXT through its developmental program in 2020.
