GABRIELLA CRUZ

Gabriella Cruz was born and raised in Manaus, the vibrant capital of Brazil’s vast Amazonas state. Gabriella grew up with nature as her playground, navigating winding rivers, scaling towering trees, and sharpening her innate athleticism. However, Brazil ranks among the most dangerous places for women, and standing at just 5' 2”, Gabriella became fiercely determined to protect herself. Diving into jiu-jitsu, she honed both her physical and mental toughness, and her passion for self-defense naturally led her to wrestling.

In the ring, Gabriella outmaneuvers opponents by using their strength against them with flawless technique. Considering her Brazilian heritage, Gabriella feels a deep connection to WOW’s mission of female empowerment. For her, wrestling is more than sport, it’s a way to craft a legacy, to inspire young women to stand up for themselves, and to prove that women are a force to be reckoned with.
