Daria Berenato

Daria Berenato has transitioned from a mixed martial artist and professional wrestler to pursuing acting opportunities. After becoming one of thirteen finalists for the sixth season of WWE Tough Enough in June 2015, Daria Berenato went on to sign a developmental contract with WWE in October 2015, commencing training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Prior to her WWE career, Berenato cultivated a foundation in competitive combat sports, participating in three mixed martial arts (MMA) fights between 2014 and 2015, achieving a record of two wins and one loss. She made her in-ring debut at a live event in December 2015, followed by her televised NXT debut in August 2016, performing under her real name.

Berenato’s championship reign was unfortunately cut short in August 2023 due to a torn ACL, sidelining her indefinitely. After a period of recovery, she made her return from injury in May 2024, joining the ‘Pure Fusion Collective’ stable. In a strategic career move, her WWE contract was not renewed in February 2025, leading to her announcement in July 2025 that she would retire from professional wrestling to dedicate her focus to her long-standing passion for acting. This transition marks a new chapter for Berenato as she targets opportunities in film and television.
