During summer of 2017, Brandy participated in a WWE tryout which featured wrestling names such as Cody Deaner and Mike Taverna. On August 28, 2019, it was reported that WWE signed Brandy to a developmental contract.[6]
On December 5, 2019, Brandy made her debut during a live event during which she teamed with Taynara in a successful women's tag team match defeating Catalina Garcia and Rita Reis.[7] The following year on February 28, 2020, she wrestled her first singles match at a NXT live event against Kayden Carter.[8] On March 6 and March 7, Brandy wrestled her final live events,[8] just one week before the COVID-19 pandemic was acknowledged in the United States, effectively restricting all sports businesses from holding live audience events.[9] She wrestled only eight matches, between years 2019 and 2020. On the September 14 episode of NXT, Briana Brandy won her only singles match victory by defeating Katrina Cortez.[7][8] Under her new name B-Fab, on the May 11, 2021 episode of NXT, she appeared alongside the recently-formed the stable Hit Row.[10] On the September 28 episode of NXT, her final match was a No Disqualification match against Elektra Lopez, but she was not successful.[11] B-Fab made her main roster debut at the SmackDownbrand after being drafted alongside Hit Row during the 2021 WWE Draft.[12] On November 8, 2021, she was released from her contract alongside Hit Row due to budget cuts. B-Fab and Ashante "Thee" Adonis managed Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Top Dolla in one match on SmackDown before being released.[13]

Following her release from WWE, Brandy and the rest of Hit Row, would begin appearing on the independent circuit, under the team name, The HitMakerZ.[14]
On the August 12, 2022 episode of SmackDown, Hit Row, minus Scott, made their unannounced return as faces, where Top Dolla and Adonis (accompanied by B-Fab) defeated two local competitors.[15] B-Fab made her main roster in-ring debut at the women's Royal Rumble match as the seventh entrant at Royal Rumble on January 28, 2023. She was eliminated in 36 seconds by eventual winner Rhea Ripley.[16][17][18] Hit Row was quietly disbanded with the release of Top Dolla in September 2023[19] and with Adonis being announced as a new tag team with Cedric Alexander in February 2024.[20]
On the January 17, 2025 episode of SmackDown! B-Fab faced Piper Niven with Women's U.S. Champion Chelsea Green in Niven's corner but was unsuccessful as Chelsea distracted, after the match Chelsea and Niven jumped B-Fab and Michin came down for the save.[26] During this time, B-Fab quietly split from The Street Profits and aligned with Michin.[27]
