Valerie Loureda is a professional MMA fighter and has been practicing martial arts from a very young age.

During a recent interview with Sam Roberts, Valerie revealed that it was Charlotte Flair who drew her towards wrestling. Valerie said that she watched Charlotte Flair defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 38, and that Flair’s performance and skill in the ring inspired her to sign up with the WWE. Loureda claimed that she hoped for the chance to land a WWE contract afterward, and it materialised.
“Yeah, Charlotte Flair is what did it for me. My last fight was in November and in my mind, I was still fighting. Then, I went to WrestleMania — have you guys ever been? It’s just another level. You go in there and you leave different. That’s what changed my mind and I just prayed for this opportunity and it came through.”
