She is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) but also makes appearances on the U.S. independent circuit, primarily for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and House of Glory (HOG), where she is the reigning HOG Women's Champion in her first reign.
Described as one of the top independent performers in the U.S., Doheny is best known for her tenure at Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where she first launched her wrestling career in 2017 and won the OVW Women's Championship in 2019. She has also achieved success in Japanese professional wrestling through her work at women's wrestling promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom.

## Professional wrestling career
### Independent circuit (2017–present)

Doheny made her professional wrestling debut in Ohio Valley Wrestling in November 2017. She worked for OVW until 2023, winning the OVW Women's Championship once. She dropped the title to Max the Impaler at OVW TV #1055 on October 29, 2019. Due to OVW holding developmental partnerships with Impact Wrestling, Doheny competed at Impact Wrestling/OVW Outbreak on February 21, 2020, where she unsuccessfully challenged Jessicka Havok, Jordynne Grace and Kiera Hogan in a four-way match.
Doheny also worked in the American independent scene. On July 31, 2021, during the sixth ECWA Women's Super 8 Tournament, she defeated Ashley D'Amboise to win the tournament at the finals.

### World Wonder Ring Stardom (2023–2024)

She had her first match on the second night of the tournament from July 29, where she teamed up with Mei Seira and Suzu Suzuki to defeat Stars (Mayu Iwatani, Koguma and Saya Iida) in a six-woman tag team match.
At Stardom x Stardom: Osaka Summer Team on August 13, 2023, she unsuccessfully challenged Nakano for the "red belt". Due to frequently bonding a chemistry with Suzu Suzuki and Maika over the time, Doheny laid a challenge for Baribari Bombers (Giulia, Mai Sakurai and Thekla) at Stardom Nagoya Golden Fight 2023 on October 9. They lost the bout in the process.
