Professional wrestling career
WWE
NXT (2022–2024)
On July 29, 2022, Ruggiero was one of fourteen people to have attended a tryout in Nashville, Tennessee, during SummerSlam weekend, where she and eight other women, were handed contracts by Paul "Triple H" Levesque.[2] In November 2022, it was confirmed that she had joined the Fall 2022 Rookie Class and reported to the WWE Performance Center.[1]
On October 17, 2023, Ruggiero appeared in her first televised match on NXT under her ring name Brinley Reece as a replacement for Jakara Jackson in the first round of the Women's NXT Breakout Tournament, after Jackson was ruled unable to compete medically.[3] Reece competed in a losing effort against Arianna Grace, who defeated her by raking her in the eyes and hitting her with a twisting slam.[4]
On the January 16, 2024, edition of NXT, Reece competed in a 20-woman battle royal for the chance to earn a number one contender's match against Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women's Championship at Vengeance Day, but was unsuccessful in her efforts, as it was won by Roxanne Perez.[5]
