She’s all muscle and glitter and grit—Briana Brandy, aka B-Fab, walks like a switchblade tucked into a gospel choir. Born in Canton, Ohio, the rustbelt cradle of broken dreams and busted knees, she didn’t just get into wrestling—she stormed the gates, cocktail napkin resume in one hand, mixtape in the other.
In a world of copy-paste Barbie dolls and over-tanned archetypes, B-Fab is a back-alley cocktail of ring general and rap battler—equal parts sweat and swagger, with a voice that sounds like it’s smoked three packs and a beat drop.
THE EARLY DAYS: STEEL TOWN STRUGGLE WITH A HEADPHONES SOUNDTRACK
Raised in the heartland on basketball courts and swim lanes, Brandy wasn’t sculpted in some coastal performance center. She was poured from a shaker of cold Midwestern steel, toughened by chlorine and playground asphalt. The WWE took notice in 2017 when she crashed a tryout full of hopefuls with shinier boots but duller edges.
They didn’t know what to make of her. Too tall. Too confident. Too everything. So of course, they signed her.
THE SLOW BURN BEGINNING
She debuted in December 2019 in a tag match that barely caused a ripple in the pond—but that was the start of her war. She wrestled a mere eight matches between 2019 and 2020, then the COVID curtain dropped, and the world went silent. While others got lost in the stillness, B-Fab simmered.
She reemerged on NXT like a jazz riff in a punk bar—unexpected, stylish, loud. Hit Row was born, and with it, B-Fab wasn’t just a wrestler anymore—she was the verse between the punches, the chorus behind the chaos.
Her solo record in the ring? Spotty. One win. A no-DQ loss to Elektra Lopez that left more bruises on her record than her skin. But results were never the point—presence was. And B-Fab had that in spades.
MAIN ROSTER MAYHEM AND CUTS LIKE A CIGARETTE
2021 brought the call-up. SmackDown. Bright lights. Higher stakes. Hit Row got the nod—then the axe. Budget cuts, they called it. The kind of cold business move that smells like a corporate suit spilled coffee on a spreadsheet and decided who lives and dies.
So B-Fab hit the indie scene, rechristened with the rest of HitMakerZ, grinding in high school gyms and VFW halls, dodging beer bottles and bad booking fees. That’s where her soul hardened. That’s where she learned the crowd doesn’t cheer for pedigrees—they cheer for scars.
THE RETURN: NOT JUST BACK, BACK WITH TEETH
WWE brought her back in 2022. No warning. No fanfare. She appeared ringside as Top Dolla and Ashante Adonisclobbered two unknowns, and the crowd remembered: oh yeah, her. The one who made entrance music sound like gospel. The one who could stare a hurricane in the eye and laugh.
She entered the 2023 Royal Rumble, lasted just 36 seconds before Rhea Ripley chucked her out like last week’s lyric sheet. But again—not the point. B-Fab doesn’t need 36 minutes. She needs one glare and a microphone.
When Hit Row dissolved quietly, B-Fab did what all survivors do—she pivoted. Aligned herself with Bobby Lashleyand The Street Profits, forming The Pride. It was less a faction and more a street gang in silk suits, stomping out The Final Testament in a Philadelphia Street Fight at WrestleMania XL.
Then Lashley left, and The Pride was disbanded with a shrug. B-Fab stuck around. Like cigarette smoke in a closed room, she lingered.
SPLIT, ALIGN, STRIKE
2024 gave her one more roll of the dice. A triple threat with Bayley and Candice LeRae, a chance at the inaugural Women’s United States Championship. She didn’t win. But she looked good losing, which is more than half the battle in pro wrestling.
By early 2025, she split from The Street Profits, hooking up with Michin—an alliance built not on convenience but survival. B-Fab doesn’t form factions—she forms mutual defense pacts, barbed wire in human form, smiling.
BOXING, NINJUTSU, AND BEATS
Outside the ring, B-Fab trained like she was preparing for a street war and an album drop at the same time. Boxing coach. CrossFit lunatic. Student of Ninjutsu. She doesn’t fight for cardio—she fights like she’s been wronged by the sun.
And the music? She’s legit. Tours with Soulja Boy, Jadakiss, Juicy J, and a dozen other names scrawled on rap posters in dive bars across America. Her singles hit Apple Music before most of her peers hit puberty. She’s not just a gimmick with a mic. She’s a verse you don’t skip.
In 2023, she dropped “Price Went Up” with Monteasy. In July, she spit fire on “Barbie Barz” with Hit Row—part freestyle, part funeral dirge for the bubblegum pop of the women’s division. She raps the way she wrestles—like she’s auditioning for revenge.
WHAT B-FAB REALLY IS
She’s not your next champion. She’s not the company darling.
She’s the woman on the fringe, the one dancing just outside the title picture, the one whispering threats through AutoTune and armbars.
B-Fab is smoke in your lungs, a lyric you don’t understand but can’t forget, a manager who doesn’t just point—she plans. She’s the cold stare from the turnbuckle and the voice in your head when the lights go down.
If WWE were a barroom brawl, most women would reach for a chair.
B-Fab would light a cigarette, grin, and dare you to swing first.
