The 21-year-old is fairly new to the pro wrestling world, as she started her in-ring career in 2022. After honing her wrestling skills on the Independent Circuit for a few years, Zayda signed with WWE in November 2024 as part of their ID program. She made her debut for the company on the April 2, 2025 edition of Evolve, and even competed in the Triple-threat match to determine the inaugural Evolve Women's Champion.

Zayda recently took to X to reveal that she has decided not to renew her contract with the global juggernaut. She added that she's grateful for everything she learned during her time with the company, but she wants to do what's best for her.

It will be interesting to see what path Zayda will choose now that she's no longer a part of the World Wrestling Entertainment!
