Paige Nicole Mayo, better known under the stage name SoCal Val, has been steadily carving her place among modern professional wrestling’s most ruthless, yet diverse female villains. Currently hosting and commentating for UK wrestling giant World of Sport Wrestling, Val has displayed inimitable talent on both the wrestling mat and the microphone since day one.
Scouted by a promoter aged just fifteen, Val debuted in 2002 in several capacities, from manager to ring girl, acquiring her first taste for dramatic betrayal while acting as manager for Pinoy Boy. Following a smattering of on-screen appearances for WWE, TNA and WEW, Val formally joined TNA in 2006, enjoying several performances in the ring against and alongside all-time greats like Kurt Angle and Jay Lethal, again showing her talent in displaying villainous behaviours throughout various explosive storylines. Val later supported TNA as the sole ring announcer throughout the entirety of its 2015 UK tour, demonstrating her ability to entertain eager fans across continents with words and personality alone. It is these skills that continue to bring Val ringside success as a valet, interviewer, announcer and ringside attendant, helping to secure her current role for the prestigious World of Sport network.
Whether she’s announcing, managing, modelling merchandise or appearing among wrestling legends in the ring, SoCal Val’s near two-decade career has firmly established her position as one of the industry’s most valued personalities.
