Tenille Dashwood

Tenille Dashwood began training for professional wrestling in Australia in 2003, at just 13 years old. In 2008, she traveled to Canada to train at the Storm Wrestling Academy, then wrestled on the independent circuit in Australia and North America, including promotions like Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) and Shimmer Women Athletes, under the ring name Tenille Tayla. In 2011, she signed with WWE, becoming the first female Australian wrestler to be signed by the company. Known as Emma in WWE, she spent years on the main roster before being released in 2023. Dashwood also competed for Ring of Honor (ROH) and Impact Wrestling, where she held the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. Her return to WWE on the October 28, 2022 episode of SmackDown was a surprise, accepting Ronda Rousey's open challenge for the SmackDown Women's Championship, though she did not win the title. She entered the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble Match, her first appearance in that match, and was eliminated by Dakota Kai. Later that year, she was drafted to Raw and made her debut on the brand on July 3, 2023, teaming with Nikki Cross in a losing effort. On September 21, 2023, she announced her release from WWE, along with several other talents including her real-life partner, Riddick Moss.
