On October 13, 2018, Floss made her WWE NXT UK debut against Rhea Ripley and challenged her for NXT UK Women’s Championship, which Floss lost by pinfall.

She signed with WWE on January 31, 2020, and was given a place in the NXT UK women’s division, but after a mere one year, it was announced that WWE was “on leave” due to her mental health issues. 

After two months, her WWE contract expired, and since then, she hasn’t appeared on any other wrestling promotions. However, Floss has won the Fight Forever Women’s World Championship once. 

She was diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression, low moods and PTSD. However, she gave the following statement on Twitter,

After the Speaking Out Movement, concerns and rumours about my relationship with my partner started to make their way around the wrestling industry. Even though these concern my welfare, virtually no one has ever contacted me directly to talk about them.

I’m very sad and anxious to do this as I know how twitter can be. I’m not naming names, going into details or opening up a discussion. This isn’t about justifying myself, I just need my voice to be heard. This was written with the help of Sarah Dyer @pikapies
