She has wrestled both men and women in her career

She was a cheerleader in high school and also took karate

Tasha doesn’t like any type of seafood mostly because she’s allergic to shellfish

Social Medias: tashamariewwe (Instagram), misstashamarie (Twitter), thetashamarie (TikTok) *These aren’t real so don’t look for them*

A/N: Tasha is part of the same fanfic/au as Cassie Brown, can you read about as well. Cassie’s info is on my profile (you might have to scroll a bit to find it). I’ll be publishing about Stella, Megan, Rosalie, and Roxanne soon. Also The Hawkins and Jackson are OCs as well and I might make something for them. I haven’t decided yet.

Monday night Raw (6/5):

Friday Night Smackdown (6/9):

NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn came out to the ring for an interview, but were quickly interrupted by the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler. Shayna said that the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles were created because of her (which is true), and Ronda said that she and Shayna wanted them. Alba and Isla agreed to a unification match before attacking Ronda and Shayna. The segment ended with Ronda holding Shayna back from getting into the ring, trying to talk her down from attacking Alba and Isla.

Bayley defeated “Michin” Mia Yim to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match. This will be Bayley's second Money in the Bank ladder match. She is currently undefeated in this match, as her first time competing for the briefcase was at the 2019 event.

Adam Pearce presented Asuka with a brand new WWE Women’s Championship, which will replace the Raw Women’s Championship. The championship will continue the lineage of the Raw Women’s title, as it is reverting back to the championship’s original name from when it was established at WrestleMania 32. Charlotte Flair returned to SmackDown and issued a challenge to Asuka for the title, which Asuka accepted.

Iyo Sky defeated Shotzi to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match. This will be Iyo's first time in a Money in the Bank ladder match. However, she has previously ladder match experience from her time in NXT. She defeated Mia Yim in the 2019 War Games advantage ladder match, won the 2020 NXT Women's title number one contender ladder match, and retained the NXT Women's title at Halloween Havoc 2020 against Candice LeRae in a Tables, Ladders and Scares match. match length-2:33.

Other news & updates from last week:

In a recent interview, Natalya talked about how much she's enjoyed her matches against Ronda Rousey. She specifically mentioned their match from Money in the Bank last year, when she challenged Ronda for the SmackDown Women's Championship, saying that she feels like that match didn't get enough love. She noted that the match was overshadowed by Liv Morgan cashing in her Money in the Bank contract. Natalya said that Liv's moment was amazing, but she really loved the match that she and Ronda had prior to the cash-in.

Former Universiy of Miami basketball players and twin sisters Haley and Hanna Cavinder are set to have a WWE tryout in July. They were announced as part of the inaugural WWE Next In Line (NIL) class in December 2021, and in April 2023 they confirmed that they would both forgo their fifth year of NCAA eligibility in order to pursue other endeavors like professional wrestling. The twins made their TV debuts on the June 6 episode of NXT, joining Thea Hail and Chase University in the ring to celebrate Thea's victory in the number one contender battle royal.

Mercedes Mone was reportedly having "significant discussions" with AEW ahead of the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2 event, which is being held on Sunday, June 25. However, due to the injury Mercedes suffered at NJPW Resurgence last month, she is expected to miss the event. There were rumors of Mercedes potentially facing Saraya (fka Paige) at Forbidden Door 2.

Fightful Select reported on Friday, June 9 that there have been conversations between Stardom and All Elite Wrestling about the possibility of including Stardom talent in the NJPW x AEW Forbidden Door 2 event. Specifically, current AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm has been discussed as someone for a Stardom talent to face. One of the main talking points in these conversations has been which Stardom talent would be available to compete at Forbidden Door 2, as Stardom has their own show that same weekend.

Tay Melo and Sammy Guevara shared a video on social media, announcing the gender and name of their baby. They are expecting a daughter, who will be named Luna.

On the latest edition of UpNXT (which can be viewed in Snapchat stories), NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton shared that her dream match is a triple threat between herself, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair.

On Saturday night following her successful defense of the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship in the main event of UFC 289, Amanda Nunes announced her retirement from MMA. Nunes retires as a double champion, holding both the UFC Women's Bantamweight and Featherweight titles. She retires with a professional record of 23 wins and 5 losses, and she is widely regarded to be the greatest female fighter of all time. Earlier this week, Nunes said that she wouldn't rule out a potential career in WWE but noted that it would depend on the terms of the contract.

This week, Shayna Baszler surpassed Asuka’s combined 225 day record to become the longest reigning individual WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion.

Things to look forward to this week:

This Tuesday, June 13 on NXT, number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship Thea Hail takes on Cora Jade, who Thea eliminated to win last week's battle royal.

Also this Tuesday, former NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez faces Tatum Paxley.

This Wednesday, June 14 on AEW Dynamite, Skye Blue challenges Toni storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship. This will be Skye’s first televised match for the AEW Women’s World title.

This Friday, June 16 on Friday Night SmackDown, Charlotte Flair will join The Grayson Waller Effect.

Also this Friday, AJ Styles and Mia Yim take on Karrion Kross and Scarlett in a mixed tag team match.

During a verbal altercation on the latest episode of The SmackDown LowDown, LWO's Zelina Vega issued a challenge Damage CTRL's Iyo Sky. As of this being posted, that match has not been announced as being official.
