Early life

Steffanie Newell was born on 15 November 1994 in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, 15 miles north of Cardiff. As a little girl, Newell played football for a number of teams in her area. At one point she took part in trials for both Cardiff City and the Wales national team. At age 13, she suffered a knee injury which would ultimately cost her a place on the Wales Under-16 team. When she finally turned 16, she gave up football, instead planning on taking a long hiatus from all sports, citing her knee injury and a lack of passion for the sport as her reasons.

Shortly after quitting football, she found a professional wrestling school in Port Talbot and began training under Dave Stewart and "Wild Boar" Mike Hitchman. She said that the encouragement of her late grandfather to pursue a career in professional wrestling was her main inspiration. Outside football, she played netball and tag rugby. Despite playing football for the majority of her youth, Newell grew up as a fan of professional wrestling after being introduced to it at the age of five and cites Molly Holly as her favourite female wrestler and dream opponent.[4]

Later that night, Newell and Austin lost the championship to Mike Bird in a handicap match.[5]

In their first match as a team, Newell and Andrews defeated #CCK (Chris Brookes and Kid Lykos).[8] Two days later on 3 April, Bayside High became the new Attack: Pro! Tag Team Champions, defeating #CCK.[9] The duo retained the titles until August, when they lost them back to #CCK in a TLC match.[10]

In late 2016, Newell turned into a villainess, abandoning Bayside High and aligning herself with Pete Dunne. In their first match together, Dunne and Newell (dressed as the Suicide Squad iterations of The Joker and Harley Quinn, respectively) defeated Martin Kirby and El Ligero (dressed as Kevin Owens and El Generico, respectively).[11]

Personal life

Talking on WWE's online show The Bump, Newell confirmed she is bisexual. Newell said, "For me, it's always been, like, not about gender. If someone makes me laugh and they make me feel good and they're nice people, I'm all for that. It doesn't matter if they're man, woman, it doesn't matter to me."[53] [54]
