Persephone is an emerging talent in professional wrestling over the two years as she became the reigning Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) Women’s World Champion, as well as the Universal Amazons Champion and winner of the 2025 Grand Prix de Amazonas.
Persephone’s talent has gone beyond the strings of a CMLL ring.

It has been used on All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Maple Leaf Wrestling, and Ring of Honor, to name a few promotions. She also made a big impression on AEW star Thunder Rosa.
Rosa told PK Press Club Digital that she thinks Persephone broke.
“I think she’s one of those talents that she gambled on a long time ago. She was a luchadora. She had a mask. She lost her mask and she worked very, very hard to create this opportunity for herself,” Rosa said. “And I think she found her time. And it was this year, I think she was the star of the year, I would say. I think when she started coming last year and doing some of the shows, people started to see how talented she was.”
Rosa said she has seen Persephone’s growth as a wrestler firsthand and has the ability to convince fans to cheer for her even though she is portrayed as a heel.

“I mean, I’ve seen her grow since 2020 on the independent scene and now when I go to Mexico and they love her, whether she’s a heel or not, they love to love her there,” Rosa added. “And now how she was able to transition to the American style, that’s also very interesting to see because when you see that transition, me going to Mexico and trying to transition to Lucha Libre and her, even though she was born here in America and she’s binational, having the fact that she has to transition to the American style of wrestling is still very, very good to see.
“But she’s very smart and she knows what she’s doing. So I’m really proud of her.”
