Early life

Danielle Glanville was born in Alstonville, New South Wales. [1] She has six older siblings and two younger siblings, [2] and was first introduced to professional wrestling by her younger brother, who was a fan of The Undertaker. [1] Her family moved to the Gold Coast when she was 13 years old, [1] and she attended Banora Point High School throughout her teenage years. [3] She pursued various interests such as soccer, singing, and dancing, [1] and ultimately earned a degree in journalism from Bond University. [2] [4]

Initially intending to work in news media, Glanville ventured into finance as a mortgage lender while continuing to pursue music. [1] [2] She later worked at Dracula's Cabaret under the stage name Luna. [2] [5] [6] She also participated in bikini and bodybuilding competitions. [2] She moved to the U.S. in 2018 to further her career in singing and modelling, and eventually became a ring girl for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship while focusing on her singing career. [7]

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2021–2022)

In 2021, Glanville began her professional wrestling training under Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears at their Flatbacks Wrestling School in Orlando, Florida, where she reportedly progressed at a rapid pace due to her bodybuilding experience and entertainment background. [8] She worked her first wrestling events without pay as she had not yet received her green card. [9] Under the ring name Danni Ellexo, she appeared at Impact Wrestling's Bound for Glory in October 2021 to accompany the debuting tag team The IInspiration. She wrestled her first known match in February 2022 for WrestlePro, losing to Scarlett Bordeaux. It was later revealed that she was expected to sign with WWE, but many of the people suggesting her to WWE management were released as part of mass layoffs. [9]

All Elite Wrestling (2022–present)

After stints on the independent circuit with Shine Wrestling, Coastal Championship Wrestling, and World Wrestling Network, she debuted under the ring name Harley Cameron on an episode of AEW's Dark in July 2022, losing to Willow Nightingale. In 2023, she turned heel and joined Q. T. Marshall's stable QTV, appearing on Dynamite and Rampage . She officially signed with the company in April. [7] [10] QTV disbanded when Marshall left AEW in late 2023, and Cameron was introduced to Saraya by Ruby Soho as a new member of The Outcasts after Toni Storm's departure from the group. [11] She made her Dynamite in-ring debut on 8 May 2024 against Storm's protégée Mariah May, who defeated her. [12]

In early 2025, Cameron turned face and began a feud with Mercedes Moné for Moné's AEW TBS Championship, gaining popularity by using her ventriloquism skills to taunt and annoy Moné with a hand puppet she dubbed Mini Moné. [13] On 15 February at Grand Slam Australia, she lost to Moné. [14] Cameron later formed an alliance with Anna Jay to feud with Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford, with the feud culminating on the 28 May episode of Dynamite, where Bayne and Ford defeated Jay and Cameron in a street fight. Cameron later took time off to heal from a nose injury. [15] [16] On July 12 at All In, she returned from injury during the women's Casino Gauntlet match to fend off Ford from interfering in the match. [17] Later in the year, she formed a tag team with Nightingale called the Babes of Wrath. On November 12 at Blood & Guts, the two competed in the first ever women's Blood & Guts match, but their team was defeated. [18]

Singing

Glanville released a music video for her first song "Indestructible", starring WWE wrestlers Scarlett Bordeaux and Shotzi Blackheart. She worked with the duo again to release a cover of "I Put a Spell on You" and another music video. She later collaborated with the tag team The IInspiration to release a music video for her song named after them. [7]

Personal life

Glanville formerly dated rugby player and professional wrestler Daniel Vidot, whose move from rugby to wrestling sparked her initial interest in becoming a wrestler. [7] They became engaged in 2018, [19] but split up in 2024. [20]

Glanville plays the bass, [21] is fluent in Mandarin, and has practiced ventriloquism; she often incorporates the latter into her wrestling character. [2]
