Isla Dawn, born in Balornock, Glasgow, has transitioned from a dance and acting background to become a prominent figure in professional wrestling. Initially captivated by the performances of early 2000s wrestlers like Trish Stratus and Lita, she pursued acting at Langside College. A college play about professional wrestling led her to connect with local wrestlers Big Damo and Nikki Cross, who mentored her into the wrestling world.
Dawn began her wrestling career in Scotland in 2013, gaining recognition across England and Japan. In 2018, she signed with WWE, starting in NXT UK. She later returned to NXT, forming a formidable tag team with Alba Fyre. The duo, known as the Unholy Union, secured the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships at NXT Stand & Deliver.
In June 2023, Dawn and Fyre unified the WWE and NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles by defeating Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. However, they lost the titles back to Rousey and Baszler in June 2024.
As of December 2024, Dawn continues to be a key figure in WWE, known for her captivating performances and dedication to the sport.
