Wrestling is a sport that would be nothing without the fans. This also tracks well when taking into account the impact that wrestling has on its fans when deciding on their career. A great example is the classic Ironwoman match between Sasha Banks and Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Respect in 2015, which inspired a young fan to harbor dreams of getting into the ring one day. Now, that fan recently made her pro wrestling debut and she is already catching attention.
But this young star didn’t just get in the ring with an endorsement from Bayley. A lot of wrestling stars have met with the charismatic fan-turned-wrestler Izzy Moreno, the woman behind Izzymania, and supported her recent endeavor.
