The February 15 episode of Battleground saw Jaxon, Azumi Goto, and Erica Ford defeat Veena Adams, Silence, and Raven Lee, while Kennedy was on commentary.

On the February 28 edition of Voltage, Jaxon replaced Clark Duncan on the team assembled by Voltage General Manager Ashten Cross for Tag Team Warfare against Hexa-Gun at Fighting Spirit II.

On the April 23 episode of Voltage, Jaxon interrupted then-Hardcore Champion Ahren Fournier's in-ring segment to announce that she was cashing in the Young Lions Cup and intended to face him at Fighting Spirit: London. This would also make her the first woman to compete for the title. The following week, she acted as Aren Mstislav and Nasir Escobar's valet during their tag team match against People With Class (Jon McAdams and Mike Showman). Later in the night, she exchanged words with Fournier in a backstage segment before eventually mocking him following his loss to Solomon Caine. On the May 7 episode of Voltage, Fournier attacked Jaxon in a backstage segment in an effort to get her to pull out of their match. Jaxon got a measure of revenge on the May 14 episode of Voltage, when she attacked Fournier during his match against Eclipse Diemos and cost him a victory.

#### **Women's World Champion (2017 - 2018)**

Jaxon officially returned to Empire on the May 25 episode, reaffirming her intentions to challenge for the Women's Championship. This drew out Cameron Ella Ava and Cailin Dillon. Cleopatra announced that Cameron would defend the championship in a Triple Threat match at Pain for Pride X against both Jaxon and Dillon.

In the main event of the September 28 episode of Empire, Jaxon defeated Savannah Sunshine by submission. The October 5 episode of Empire was meant to feature Jaxon and Goto taking on Sunshine and Goto's wife, Haruna Sakazaki, in a tag team match. Instead, Goto and Sakazaki, who had allegedly had marital troubles, secretly made up and ambushed Jaxon and Sunshine before the match ever began. One week later, on October 12, General Manager Tarah Nova revealed that the final three spots in the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption for Jaxon's title would be filled by Sunshine, Goto, and Sakazaki. Later in the night, Jaxon interrupted Goto and Sakazaki's in-ring segment before Sunshine, who had previously been reported as concussed, ran out to aid her in getting a measure of revenge. On the October 19 episode of Empire, Jaxon accompanied Sunshine to ringside for her match against Goto. Later in the night, she defeated Sakazaki in the main event. Afterward, Jaxon, Sunshine, and the match's two guest commentators, Brody Sparks and Revy, were attacked by Sakazaki and Goto.

On the January 25 episode of Empire, Jaxon confronted Crowe in the show's opening segment, where the other woman revealed that she would be challenging for the Women's World Championship at The Iconic Cup. Immediately afterward, Crowe's tag team partner, April Song, blindsided Jaxon. On the February 1 episode of Empire, Jaxon defeated Song with Crowe at ringside. After the match, she was initially attacked by their new ally, Jael Arcana-Rosario, before Nicole Fyre ran out and allied herself with Jaxon by chasing them off. On the February 3 episode of Showdown, Jaxon teamed with Drake Jaeger to face Di Consentes (HBG and Cameron Ella Ava). On the February 8 episode of Empire, Jaxon was at ringside for Fyre and Valentine's tag team loss to Song and Arcana-Rosario. In the closing moments of the match, she was again attacked by Crowe. On the February 15 episode of Empire, Jaxon and Crowe's in-ring segment devolved into a fight, at which point General Manager Flannery McCoy announced that their match at The Iconic Cup would be a Brooklyn Street Fight. The following week, during a press conference meant to hype up their match, the two got into a physical confrontation. At The Iconic Cup, Jaxon defeated Crowe to retain for the sixth time. On the March 8 episode of Empire, Jaxon appeared via phone in a call with Flannery McCoy giving an update on her condition.

#### **Sporadic Appearances (2018)**

Jaxon made her first appearance for the revival of the all-female LAW at the promotion's Alliance Supershow, where she teamed with Cameron Ella Ava in a main event loss to Tarah Nova and Haruna Sakazaki. At Thunderstruck, Jaxon appeared once again, attacking April Song during her Lethal Specialist Championship match and costing her a chance at the title.

## Legacy

Following her televised wrestling debut in 2015, Jaxon established herself as one of the foremost faces in mainstream North American women's wrestling. With her stints in OWA and SSW between 2018 and 2021, she then cemented herself as one of the best wrestlers in the world, regardless of gender. She is regarded as a boundary-breaker and pioneer in some circles. While the latter part of her career was spent mostly competing against men, Jaxon is also known for being an advocate for advancement of women's wrestling causes, having been instrumental in the launch of OWA Odyssey, acting as an executive producer for OWT Electra, and formerly sitting on the board for Lethal Angels of Wrestling. She was called "one of OWA's signature competitors" by chairman Scott Oasis, and has been cited as an inspiration by Natalie Cage, Chantal LeBeau, Serenity Scorpio, NAMI, and Arisa Jojima.

## Other Media

In January 2016, Jaxon signed with Roc Nation Sports, becoming the first professional wrestler to do so. She also became a Tapout spokeswoman that same month. She began modeling for Beyoncé's Ivy Park activewear line in April 2016, and became the first professional wrestler with a CoverGirl contract in May 2016. In July 2016, several female Elitists were the inspiration for a collection distributed by MAC Cosmetics, with a "Pink Lemonade" palette being marketed for Jaxon. She has appeared on the covers of the July 2016 issue of *Muscle & Fitness Hers*and the June 2017 cover of *Pro Wrestling Illustrated*. She was also was featured in the August 2016 issue of *GQ.*

She was a cast member and executive producer of *True Vixens* and competed on season one of *EAW Presents: The Trial*. In July 2016, it was reported that she had been cast as the female lead in the EAW Studios film *Married & Miserable,*which was released in February 2017. She also produced episodes of *Playmakers*, of which she was the host, *Home Sweet Home*, and *Prank'd*.

Jaxon appeared in three EAW video games, making her in-game debut in *EAW 2K16* (DLC) and returning in *EAW 2K17* and *EAW 2K18* (where she was one of the cover stars).She has so far appeared in one OWA video game, *OWA 2K19*, and was one of the cover stars.

In July 2017, Jaxon became one of several female Elitists who had a Barbie doll modeled after her through a partnership between EAW and Mattel.

Jaxon took on several more acting roles after signing with OWA, due in large part to the company's working agreement between Netflix and the OWA Network streaming service. Beginning in the fall of 2018, she played a leading role as professional basketball cheerleader Sabrina Devereux on *Swish*. She was also cast as Katrina Tyson in *Honor Among Thieves* and Britney Carter in *Payday*, two different miniseries. From August 2018 to January 2022, she was credited as an executive producer and showrunner of Odyssey, OWA's women's brand.

Since January 2019, Jaxon has been the president of her own production company, 1942 Productions. She has received production credits on *Goddesses, Inc*., *OWT Embedded*, and *Blackout*, among others.

## Personal Life

Jackson-LeBeau lives in Beverly Hills, California, with her husband and daughter. They previously lived in the Hollywood Hills, but put their home up for sale in the spring of 2022 ahead of the birth of their daughter. She also owns homes in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Tokyo, Japan, and her father's hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. She speaks Louisiana Creole French and admires Beyoncé, who has played her to the ring on two different occasions. She enjoys superhero media, video games, and anime, having worn ring attire inspired by Sailor Moon, Lady Kitana, Black Panther, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Katana, Nina Williams, and Venom. Jackson-LeBeau is also a fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Lakers, and Los Angeles Dodgers. She identifies as a nondenominational Christian.

She is known for dying her hair, which has been described as "an important part of her branding and in-ring persona". At the time of her mainstream breakthrough in 2015, Jackson-LeBeau had red hair. In January 2016, she dyed it hot pink. In October 2017, she dyed it electric blue in honor of longtime friend Brody Sparks; she also began wearing a black armband with Sparks' logo on it during matches. In March 2018, she briefly dyed her hair black. In April 2018, she dyed her hair purple. In February 2019, she returned to the hot pink color, which she says she considers her "signature shade". In August 2019, she dyed her hair dark blue. Sparks was also an avid fan of alternative metal band Deftones and had the group’s White Pony logo tattooed on the nape of her neck; in memory of her, Jackson-LeBeau got the same tattoo on her left shoulder blade. In addition to the tribute tattoo to Sparks, she has three additional tattoos: the birth dates of her late maternal great-grandparents, Lake Roberson and Drusilla Rubin, in Roman numerals on the inside of her right forearm, an Aquarius symbol on the right side of her ribcage, and "elle croyait qu'elle pouvait alors elle l'a fait" (French for "she believed she could, so she did") on the inside of her left forearm.

Jackson-LeBeau began dating fellow wrestler Aren Mstislav in March 2016. In July 2017, it was revealed that the couple became engaged on June 24, 2017, and the two were eventually married in a private ceremony on January 1, 2019. On the January 15, 2022 episode of Odyssey, it was announced that she was twelve weeks pregnant with the couple's first child. On July 22, 2022, their daughter Arianna Meagan Mstislav was born; her middle name was taken from the real-life first name of Brody Sparks, who was born Meagan Vaughan. Stephanie Matsuda, Azumi Goto, and Monica Vaughan share the mantle of Arianna’s godmother.

Chantal LeBeau is her cousin and Gia and Sarita Cervantes are her sisters-in-law. She describes Nasir Moore and Stephanie Matsuda as her best friends, and is also close with Azumi Goto, former Odyssey co-producer Jeff X, Finnegan Wakefield, Scott Oasis, Kenny Drake, Michael Bishop, Jason Long, Alyssa Grace, and Matt Miles. When asked about professional influences and wrestlers that she looks up to, Jackson-LeBeau listed Jackie Cruz, Miss Manami, Faye Wakefield, Jaywalker, and Black Scorpio among them.
