Izzy Moreno’s story started as a fan. Now it continues as a champion.
Many remember her from NXT TakeOver: Respect (2015), when she was in the crowd and became part of a moment involving Mercedes Moné. Years later, she is no longer watching from the stands. She is in the ring.
Izzy began training at just 12 years old and made her in-ring debut at 16. By 2023, she officially stepped into Mission Pro Wrestling, beginning her professional career.
In 2024, she made history by becoming the youngest Mission Pro Wrestling Champion, a major milestone that showed how quickly she has developed. She has also held championship gold in other promotions, including the Atomic Legacy Wrestling Championship.
Her momentum continued into 2025 when she made her debut in WWE ID, appearing during WrestleMania week in Las Vegas. The opportunity placed her among a new generation of talent being developed for the future of the industry.
The recognition followed. Izzy was named Fightful’s 2024 Rookie of the Year, further solidifying her as one of the most promising young wrestlers today.
Known as “Everybody’s Favorite BFF,” Izzy brings a mix of energy and determination to the ring, often finishing matches with her signature armbar submission.
At just 18 years old, her career is only getting started. But the foundation is already there.
During Women’s History Month, Queen of the Canvas highlights the next generation of women building the future of wrestling.
