Sa'Vonna Monroe

Adriane Nicole Monroe (born October 20, 2000) is an American professional wrestler. She is currently signed to BTGC, and Seoul Society where shes better known as **Sa'Vonna Monroe**.

## **Early Life**

**Adriane Nicole Monroe** was born on October 20, 2000 in Philladelphia, Pennsylvania. She grew up in foster care from the ages of 3 to 13 due to her parents use of drugs and her not having any other family to be able to care for her. **Monroe** always had a hobbie for skateboarding. Her older brother would always take her to the skatepark with his friends, and they'd practice getting better together hoping to be discovered by someone who could get them noticed by their heros such as ***Tony Hawk*** or ***Rodney Mullen***. At the age of 14 **Monroe** ran away with her older foster brother *Vincent* from her foster home due to them being neglected. They couldn't bring much with them except a few items of clothing and their skateboards. Monroe unfortunately dropped out out of high school. At age of 15, Monroe and her brother would be homeless. Not wanting to go back into the system, they were constantly on the run. Together, the siblings usually got by through stealing from small convienent stores, to hitting up bigger stores. On one of their heists, Vincent was able to get in contact with an old friend from back home who offered them to stay with him until they were able to get on their feet.

**Monroe** and her brother put whatever money they had together and bought two train tickets from Philly to Cincinnati. After arriving in Cincinnati and moving in with *Vincent's* friend, Monroe's habits stuck with her even after their life change around. Monroe continued to steal, whilst her brother found a job at a warehouse to get them into somewhat a better living situation. Monroe kept her habits a secret up until one day she went on a heist alone and was caught by a Hot Topic store associate trying to steal clothes. The police were called and she was taken into custody. Fortunately for monroe she was only 16 meaning she couldnt be held there. Her brother was called to pick her up and Monroe was let off with doing community service. **Monroe** volunteered at a wrestling gym, sweeping the gym floors and helping to build and take down the rings at live shows and events. Eventually Monroe's required community service hours had been reached and she didn't have to volunteer there anymore, but she actually began to be interested in the sport. She began to training and immediately fell in love. Monroe convinced her brother to start training as she felt it'd be something they'd enjoy doing together since they loved skateboarding together.

## **Professional Wrestling Career (2019)**

As Monroe continued to train more and more she noticed that she would need a character that would be over, she always knew she had a good heart but just a not so easy way of showing it. The only person who could see that she actually had a caring and vulnerable side was her brother due to their life obsticles they had been throug at that point. Eventually she came up with the name Sa'Vonna who originally was supposed to be a way of her showcasing her bad side in the ring. She had a few matches with the gym she was with but was quickly starting to get recognition by companies with bigger platforms.

**Queen Society Wrestling (2019-2019)** On July 3, 2019 Monroe competed in a triple threat matchup against ***Kaniah***, and ***Zantana Giovani.*** Kaniah would go on to win the match by pinning Zantana. This would be Monroe's first and only appearance with the company.

**UWA (2019-2019)** Monroe made her debut on the September 6, edition of the show where she went against a wrestler named Ophelia. Prior to the match, Monroe cut a promo on how she was the best the division had to offer which that statement did not age well, because shortly after she would go on to lose the match via pinfall. Monroe would not be seen after due to the company not staying open much longer after that.

## **Back to the Drawing Board**

After two failed attempts at trying to kick of a wrestling career, Monroe talked with her brother about what she felt was not working and together they came up with a new character. Monroe decided to continue to go by ***Sa'Vonna***. With this new chracter Monroe decided to take inspiration from one of her favorite movies *Beetelejuice,* only she would make this character more twisted. This character seemed to be over with people and she seemed to be getting a lot of positive feedback.

## **Professional wrestling career (2020-Present)**

**BTGC (2020-Present)** On the May 24, 2020 edition of *Break the Glass Ceiling*, Monroe debuted her new character going against local competior *Jessie Wong.* Monroe was succesful in the bout after hitting her [1]with her *Dice Roller (Swinging Leg Hook Fireman's Carry Slam)*. Monroe would go on to compete on more episodes of *BTGC* competing against more enhancement talent. On April 18, 2021 Monroe competed against Mackenzie which she was unsucessful in winning. Monroe began having trouble again with being content with her character, although people took a liking to it she knew deep inside she wanted to people to just like her for her. After a while of contemplating what she really wnated her brother finally gave her the idea to take what she really loved doing (skateboarding) and apply it to her wrestling persona.

**Sa'vonna Monroe vs. Kristie Ali (2021)** On November 18, 2021 Monroe went one on one with fellow wrestler Kristie Benet . The match seemed to be going in Monroe's favor until *Benet's* husband ***Jamoshi Ali*** would interupt the match giving Kristie the upperhand.
