Brandi Lauren

Starting her professional wrestling career at just 19 years old, Brandi Lauren has built a multifaceted career spanning nearly a decade across major promotions and adult content creation. Born on September 26, 1996, in Buffalo, New York, she has worked under several ring names including Ava Storie, Skyler Story, and KC Quinn.

Wrestling Career

Lauren's earliest documented matches date to 2016 on the independent circuit, where she competed for promotions like Shine Wrestling and Full Throttle Pro Wrestling. In February 2017, she defeated Lacey Lane at FTPW Fight Club Round 3 to become the inaugural Full Throttle Pro Wrestling Ladies Champion, a title she held briefly before losing it in a gauntlet match the following month.

Her Shine Wrestling run from 2016 to 2020 saw her face opponents including Aria Blake, Jessie Belle Smothers, Malia Hosaka, and Thea Trinidad. While she did not capture gold in Shine, the experience provided consistent ring time during her early career.

Lauren first appeared for Impact Wrestling (then TNA) in March 2017, wrestling under her own name before being rebranded as Ava Storie. She challenged for the GFW Women's Championship against Christina Von Eerie and had multiple bouts against Laurel Van Ness. Her first Impact victory came in October 2017 against Amber Nova. By January 2018, her profile had been moved to the alumni section, marking the end of her initial run with the company.

WWE and NXT

Lauren first appeared at NXT tapings in May 2018, losing to Lacey Evans. It took until August 2020 for reports to surface that she had signed a contract with WWE's NXT brand, which was officially confirmed in October 2020. Her tenure proved short. WWE released Lauren on May 19, 2021, roughly seven months after the official announcement of her signing.

Post-WWE Career

Following her WWE release, Lauren returned to Impact Wrestling on August 19, 2021, losing to Melina. This second stint with the company ran into 2022.

Transition to Content Creation

Outside of wrestling, Brandi Lauren has established herself as a glamour model, cosplayer, and gamer. Standing 5 feet 8 inches with an athletic build and natural bust, she maintains an active presence on OnlyFans alongside her other ventures. Her auburn hair and blue eyes have helped distinguish her look both in and out of the ring. She remains active as of 2026, with a career now spanning roughly nine years across both the wrestling and modeling industries.
