Professional wrestling career

Ayesha Raymond can trade wrestling wristlocks and toeholds with the best of them, but at heart, she is a girl from the East End of London who loves to brawl. Raymond has been a trained fighter since the age of 15 and is an accomplished bodybuilder, so her grit and brawn are not in question. She knew her calling was in the ring when she was young and would play-wrestle with her brothers. Now she is all grown up, a 6-foot-tall, self-described Amazon towering over the competition. Raymond sharpened by the teachings of British greats like Johnny Saint, Tony Scarlo and WWE Performance Center coach Robbie Brookside, and this summer, she looks to conquer a new frontier in the Mae Young Classic.
