Professional wrestling career
Doheny made her professional wrestling debut in Ohio Valley Wrestling on November 2017. She worked for OVW until 2023, winning the OVW Women's Championship once.[4] She dropped the title to Max the Impaler at OVW TV #1055 on October 29, 2019.[5] 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.[6]
Doheny also worked in the American independent scene. On July, 31, 2021, during the sixth ECWA Women's Super 8 Tournament, Bayne defeated Ashley D'Amboise to win the tournament at the finals.[7] She also worked for All Elite Wrestling, appearing on episodes of AEW Dark,[8] AEW Dark: Elevation,[9] and AEW Rampage.[10]
Doheny made her debut in World Wonder Ring Stardom on the first night of the 2023 Stardom 5 Star Grand Prix from July 23, by attacking Tam Nakano and demanding a match for the World of Stardom Championship.[11] 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.[12] At Stardom x Stardom: Osaka Summer Team on August 13, 2023, she unsuccessfully challenged Nakano for the "red belt".[13] 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.[14] From October 15 to November 12, Doheny and Maika, together known as Divine Kingdom, competed in the 2023 Goddesses of Stardom Tag League.[15] They won the tournament by defeating CRAZY STAR (Mei Seira and Suzu Suzuki) in the finals.[16][17]
