Gorgo (born Yelena Lisbeth Gorgo; 04 April 1999) is a Moldovan professional wrestler, philanthropist, and a former judoka. She is currently signed to UPRISING and Pro Wrestling Valor. Prior to joining UPRISING, she became the first Moldovan to win an Olympic medal in judo by securing gold at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

She is the CEO and Chairperson of Bifrost Capital, a venture capital firm. Through Bifrost, she is also the primary investor in the health and fitness company VilaroFit and owner of Greenlight Dispensory, a chain of medical and recreational marijuana retailers.

Yelena Gorgo was born on 04 April 1999 in Chișinău, Moldova. Her mother, Oksana Poliudova Gorgo, was a world-renowned ballet dancer who toured with the Mariinsky Ballet company throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Grettel still lives in Chișinău, where she is the director of the Maria Bieșu National Opera and Ballet Theatre. In interviews, Gorgo has said that while she is close to her mother, their relationship has been affected by her decision to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a professional wrestler.

Her father was Niels Gram, a professional wrestler who performed under the name Spiral. For most of her life, her identity as his daughter was kept from the public to shield her from the controversies of his own life, until she revealed it in an interview on 29 October 2022 on Outside the Ropes with UPRISING’s Gretchen Devereaux. She described their relationship as “sporadic and always clouded in secret, as he was worried about what it would be like for me if the world knew.” However, she also mentioned spending summers with him, seeing him for the holidays, and that he taught her “how to fight and survive.” Gram's significant personal wealth, which funded his various enterprises, was inherited through his mother, Lisbeth Gram (née Kirk Christiansen), who was the youngest child of LEGO founder Ole Kirk Christiansen.

Gorgo began judo under the direction of her father at the age of 7. Initially she trained solely with her father, but at age 9 she and her mother relocated to Copenhagen to allow her to train with Anton Geesink, the famed Dutch 10th dan judoka. The move also allowed her father to see her more often and more discreetly, as he was living in the nearby Hellerup. For two years she attended N. Zahles Gymnasieskole, a private school in Copenhagen. Though her primary focus was judo, she participated in a local wrestling club. For two years she went undefeated, and there was pressure from the Moldovan National Olympic and Sports Committee to abandon judo in favor of wrestling because the relatively young sport of women's Olympic freestyle wrestling was seen as an easier path to gold.

In late 2012, Gram was arrested by INTERPOL for possible connections to Russian organized crime. Though criminal charges were never filed, France complied with an extradition request from the United States regarding several outstanding warrants, which ultimately led to him being committed to a psychiatric hospital for the next four and a half years. Gorgo was able to complete the school year, but without access to Gram's resources she and her mother could not afford to stay in Copenhagen. They returned to Chișinău in the summer of 2013 and lived modest lives. Gorgo continued her training at the Olympic Sports Club in Chișinău, where she learned with future Olympian Denis Vieru, who was three years older. The coaches often paired Gorgo with Vieru and other boys due to her size and strength.

Gorgo began her international competitive career shortly after returning to Moldova. In 2013, competing in the -63 kg class, she placed 5th at the European Judo Championships and 7th at the World Judo Championships. Following a growth spurt and intensive strength training, she moved up to the -70 kg division in 2014. That year, she secured a Silver medal at the European Championships and placed 5th at the World Championships. Her breakout year arrived in 2015 when she captured Gold at the European Judo Championships and a Bronze medal at the World Championships. Following these victories, she was awarded the rank of 1st Dan (Shodan) by the Moldova National Judo Federation.

In 2016, Gorgo represented Moldova at the Rio Summer Olympics in the -70 kg category. She performed well in the preliminary rounds and secured a Silver medal at the European Championships earlier that year. However, at the Olympics, she suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the bronze medal match, finishing in 4th place. She lists this loss as her greatest regret, not merely for missing the podium, but because her father was incarcerated at the time and unable to witness her compete on the world stage.

Following the 2016 games, Gorgo moved up to the -78 kg weight class, where she would find her greatest success. In 2017, she won Gold at the European Championships and took Silver at the World Judo Championships, losing a close final to Mayra Aguiar. She was subsequently promoted to 2nd Dan (Nidan). The following year marked the beginning of her legendary rivalry with Japanese judoka Shori Hamada. At the 2018 World Games, Gorgo defeated Hamada to win Gold, adding to her European Gold from earlier that year. Following this victory, she was awarded her 3rd Dan (Sandan).

The rivalry continued into 2019. While Gorgo retained her European title with another Gold, she faced Hamada again in the finals of the 2019 World Judo Championships. Hamada defeated Gorgo on points after a time limit draw. Gorgo mentioned multiple times in the press that she felt Hamada purposefully spent most of the match avoiding engagement and called into question scoring decisions by the judges. These comments were polarizing, but fueled public interest in their next meeting.

Gorgo’s dominance peaked as the decade turned. In 2020, she swept both the European and World Championships, taking Gold in both events. She qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo as the heavy favorite. Her father was battling brain cancer but was determined to travel to Japan to watch her compete in person. Unfortunately, with the spread of COVID-19, the Olympics were postponed and he passed away before the games could be held.

When the games finally began in the summer of 2021, Gorgo had already secured another European and World Championship Gold earlier that year. She met Shori Hamada in the Olympic finals. The narrative in the Japanese media was that Hamada needed a convincing win to redeem herself after the 2018 loss. Gorgo was under immense pressure to deliver Moldova its only gold medal of the games, while harboring personal grief over her father's absence.

The match ended after twenty seconds, when Gorgo scored an ippon on an off-balance Hamada after the Japanese judoka attempted a trip. Following the victory, Gorgo was awarded her 4th Dan (Yondan). Afterward, Gorgo stated that she no longer considered Hamada her equal and suggested that her future lay in professional fighting.

On December 4, 2025, Gorgo announced her unretirement from the International Judo Federation. In a statement released via social media, she confirmed she had re-entered the WADA testing pool with the goal of competing in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Citing the desire to "go back to the beginning" following a difficult period in her life, she reflected on the bittersweet nature of her 2021 victory following the death of her father. She announced plans to begin entering competitions in the summer of 2026, though she noted she had not yet decided whether she would represent Moldova, the United States, or Denmark.

On December 10, 2025, following a highly publicized bidding war regarding her national representation, Gorgo formally committed to the United States. In a press conference held in Miami, Florida, she appeared alongside Hector Estevez, a distinguished Olympic referee and USJF Hall of Fame inductee. During the event, Estevez formally awarded Gorgo the rank of Godan (5th Dan). Although she had not been actively competing in judo since 2021, the promotion was fast-tracked under the "Outstanding Contribution" clause, citing her tenure in professional wrestling as a period of global ambassadorship for the grappling arts. The promotion distinguished her as one of the youngest female judoka in American history to hold the rank.

The ceremony confirmed her registration with the United States Judo Federation (USJF) and United States Judo, Inc. (USA Judo). By securing her eligibility with the American delegation, Gorgo immediately entered the qualification pool for the 2027 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, which she stated would serve as her primary preparatory milestone for the 2028 Olympic cycle.

On February 8, 2026, Gorgo made her highly anticipated return to international competition at the Paris Grand Slam. Representing the United States for the first time, she competed in the +78 kg category. Displaying her signature aggressive style, she swept through the preliminary rounds before securing the gold medal in the finals. The victory marked a successful first step in her qualification campaign for the 2028 Summer Olympics.

In July 2026, Gorgo's placement on the United States Olympic judo team became the center of a major political and media controversy. Following executive intervention in the FIFA World Cup, President Donald Trump launched a series of public statements targeting Gorgo's eligibility. Reports from major news networks, including CNN and AP News, indicated that White House advisor Stephen Miller spearheaded the internal push after taking issue with Gorgo's foreign background and her vocal opposition to the political administration. Trump publicly condemned Gorgo, calling her a "total fraud," questioning the legality of her expedited citizenship process, and openly disparaging her muscular physical appearance and online commentary as "unfeminine" and "disgusting filth." Trump further disclosed that he had directly contacted USA Judo head coach Israel Hernandez, USA Judo CEO Corinne Shigemoto, and United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee CEO Sarah Hirshland to demand an immediate review of her status, strongly urging them to replace her with a natural-born American athlete. Internal White House sources later verified that active administrative efforts were underway to force Gorgo's removal from the Team USA delegation.

On July 11, 2026, the controversy reached a critical turning point when Team USA officially announced that Gorgo had been disqualified from future competition with the national team, citing a violation of the "Team USA spirit" and a failure to uphold national values following repeated warnings. The disqualification, executed in full agreement with the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), triggered widespread international outrage. Olympic Committees across the globe—most notably in Denmark and Moldova, where Gorgo also maintains citizenship—strongly condemned the ruling. Both nations immediately demanded an investigation by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Under governing international sports regulations, an athlete leaving a national roster faces a mandatory three-year suspension from representing another country, a penalty that would effectively bar Gorgo from the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles unless the USOPC chose to waive the restriction. Following internal reports that the USOPC would refuse to grant a waiver, Gorgo publicly threatened legal action against both Team USA and the USOPC on social media. Meanwhile, both Denmark and Moldova actively campaigned for her return, with the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Moldova and the International Judo Federation formally petitioning the IOC Executive Board. Framing the administrative removal as a coercive "political hit" and a "rescue mission for an elite champion being held hostage by foreign political interference," the Moldovan federation announced an extraordinary executive decree to bypass all national trials, immediately designating Gorgo as their premier elite athlete for the 2028 Olympic cycle and formally requesting an emergency waiver under Rule 41 of the Olympic Charter to restore her flag eligibility without delay.

Late on July 11, 2026, Gorgo released a formal joint statement through her legal counsel confirming her acceptance of the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Moldova's offer to rejoin their national program. Her legal team announced plans to initiate immediate legal proceedings, including an emergency petition for expedited arbitration and a concurrent U.S. Federal Court injunction against USA Judo and the USOPC. The actions sought to legally compel an unconditional release and competitive waiver, with her attorneys characterizing any resistance from the USOPC as a bad-faith restraint of trade and a direct violation of the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act. Furthermore, Gorgo's representation formally joined Moldova's emergency petition to the IOC Executive Board and the International Judo Federation, requesting a unilateral political interference waiver under Rule 41 of the Olympic Charter to expedite her flag restoration. In the public release, Gorgo expressed profound regret regarding her decision to compete under the United States athletic framework, citing a severe lack of institutional stability and professional standards in comparison to the unconditional support and national gratitude she experienced representing Moldova.

On July 12, 2026, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board convened an extraordinary session to address the escalating controversy surrounding Gorgo's removal from the United States national judo team. In an official press release, the IOC issued a stern condemnation of any government interference in athlete selection and formally launched an investigation into both USA Judo and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC). The inquiry sought to determine whether the organizations had capitulated to external political coercion in violation of Olympic Charter Rule 27, which demands absolute institutional autonomy. The IOC issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the USOPC to produce a comprehensive compliance report, warning that failure to demonstrate total administrative independence could result in provisional sanctions against the American delegation. Concurrently, the IOC Executive Board announced it was fast-tracking a review of the emergency Rule 41 nationality waiver requested by the Republic of Moldova, an unprecedented measure aimed at restoring Gorgo's competitive eligibility under the Moldovan flag without the mandatory three-year transition period.

Gorgo relocated to the United States on a work visa in September 2021 to train under retired professional wrestler Ian “Grade” Garret in Louisville, KY. Garret and Gorgo’s father were often at odds when they both wrestled for the defunct Pro Championship Wrestling in the early to mid 2000s. Like everyone else, Garret was not aware Gram was her father and treated her no differently than any other trainee, putting her through the grueling Factory Grade program which has produced multiple world champions and contenders over the last two decades.

During her training, Gorgo did not participate in any professional matches. Her focus was on sparring and exhibitions, first with fellow trainees but quickly Garret realized she required higher level opponents and he began bringing in old friends of the industry to work with her. Joey Bell, who formerly wrestled under the moniker Atreyu, confirmed on his Instagram that he was one of the pros that came in to work with her after she made her professional debut.

Gorgo fielded several offers from promotions in both the US and abroad based on Garret’s reputation and a promotional reel he put together to showcase her skills. She turned them all down, preferring to wait for an opportunity to join Reno-based promotion UPRISING. The CEO of UPRISING is Brad Jackson, who famously had a long and often personal feud with her father.

The chance she had been waiting for came on 9 July 2022 on UPRISING’s newest show UNLEASHED. Aiden Romero, a local wrestler, requested an opportunity to move from dark matches to the main roster and receive a title shot of his choice. Under then General Manager Larry Gowan, the match was made an open challenge, and if the opponent defeated Romero they would receive an UPRISING contract. Gorgo defeated Romero in forty five seconds with the Dragon Sleeper.

After scoring wins against Emmalee and Kerberos, Gorgo continued her dominant streak by scoring singles wins against Summer Page, Kalinda, Azurine Vebbins, Jacki O’Lantern, and Chris Mosh. She also wrestled in a tag team match with Kevin Mears, faced then champions Talia Skye and Reyna Carter in a handicap match, and fought in a Lethal Lottery battle royale, which she narrowly lost to eventual UPRISING champion Sam Tolson.

After UPRISING’s Vertigo 2023 supershow, Gorgo antagonized several members of the roster on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. This led to a tense back and forth with current Silver State Champion Serenity Holmes. They faced off at the 23 August 2023 edition of Revolution for the title. After thirty five minutes, Gorgo applied the Death Clutch in the middle of the ring. While Serenity fought to stay awake, Kevin Mears interfered by attacking the referee to ensure the Silver State Championship didn't change hands. Gorgo won via disqualification, giving her her eleventh singles win in a row.

After the victory over Serenity, Kalinda Von Kriegsdottir entered the ring with the Black Crusade and revealed that Co-CEO of UPRISING, Rick Ravenswood, had empowered her to control Gorgo's booking going forward. The first match to come from this new arrangement occurred at Solstice III, where Gorgo faced Chad Gilchrist in a New Mexican Turkish Deathmatch, which involved lots of sand and constant comic hikinks. After defeating Chad, Gorgo was later found covered in dirt, blood and sand in the baseball field that neighbors the arena where the show was taking place. She briefly gave an interview to Chase Evans, the camera operator, in which she displayed a new and more sinister side of herself, which immediately drew comparisons online to her father.

At the season premiere of UPRISING's Revolution, Gorgo took part in the next stage of Kalinda's challenge, which saw her face a broom in a Match of One Thousand Splinters match. During the contest, the broom became the first opponent to escape the Dragon Sleeper. The match ended with Gorgo snapping the broom over her knee. On the following Revolution, Kalinda forced Gorgo and Marisol Vilaro to compete in a game of ultimate Monopoly. After multiple days of playing, Gorgo won the match by writing a check for $10,000 and gave it to the banker.

On January 24, 2024, Gorgo arrived at the beginning of Revolution with an unidentified person tied to a wheelchair inside a big foam Santa Claus costume and teased a huge announcement. Later in the show, she teamed with Marisol Vilaro against Serenity Holmes and Amber Mansley but the match was never started after Madison Carter hopped a barricade and attacked Holmes during her entrance. Gorgo and Marisol double teamed Amber, ending with a KIKKUDEMON to her head. At the end of the show, Gorgo interrupted the chaos of the main event to reveal the man in the costume was none other than Rick Ravenswood. She then forced him to read from Santa's List, in which he declared the championship matches for the supershow. Madison Carter would face Serenity Holmes for the Silver State Championship. Trixie Decker would defend her Total Anarchy championship against the number one contender, Amy Santino, and, in a surprising twist, Marisol Vilaro. Finally, through Rick she demanded the main event would see Kalinda defend her UPRISING World Championship against Gorgo, Sam Tolson, and Jace Parker Davidson in THE TERRORDOME, a hybrid cage/ladder match her father developed for Pro Championship Wrestling in 2004.

At The Terrordome supershow, Gorgo scaled the ladder and secured the UPRISING World Championship belt from the cable. Shortly after, news broke that UPRISING was closing indefinitely. No official reason was given, nor were any statements released indicating a possible future return. Gorgo remained the Last UPRISING Champion and was often seen in other promotions carrying the title.

In December 2025, UPRISING announced its official return to active operations. Coinciding with the relaunch, the promotion confirmed that Gorgo had re-signed with the company. However, by mid-January Gorgo's name had disappeared from UPRISING's website. Multiple ouetlets reported in the weeks preceding the return episode of Revolution Gorgo had been removed from the company's marketing materials. After Gorgo failed to appear on Revolution, it was confirmed that she was no longer with the company. Her status as UPRISING World Champion is unknown.

On January 18, 2026, Gorgo revealed via X that she had redesigned the UPRISING World Championship, rebranding it as the World Heavyweight Championship. She announced her intention to continue defending the title under this new designation, effectively transitioning the championship away from the UPRISING banner to be defended as part of her personal "triple-crown" collection.

Gorgo signed a short-term contract with PWV in 2022. In her first match with the promotion she defeated Helena Handbasket after a tense few weeks of back and forth on social media. Impressed with her strong showing, PWV slated her to wrestle against Helena Handbasket, Agrippina Themis, Olly, Lex Collins, Serenity Holmes, and Josh Killings in a ladder match on 29 September 2022. Unfortunately prior to the event, PWV abruptly closed its doors.

PWV re-opened a year later. Gorgo re-signed in August. Her first match back was against Lex Collins at Relentless II. Lex Collins attempted an armbar submission, but Gorgo countered by rolling him onto his shoulders to score a pinfall victory. In her third match with the promotion Gorgo faced Spencer Adams. At Blood in the Water, Gorgo and Adams fought to the timelimit. With nine seconds to go, the referee ruled the match a technical submission victory for Adams after Gorgo passed out while locked in his finisher, 40 Acres. This was the first singles loss of her career. Afterward she attacked the Disavowed champion, Ozbourne, setting up a future match for the title.

Gorgo faced Ozbourne in a Haunted House match which saw her fight Ozbourne throughout a spooky old mansion. Gorgo failed to win the Disavowed title and earned her second career singles loss after Ozbourne kicked her out a window.

Gorgo signed a contract to join MGP on October 1st. This marked her first return to Japan since UPRISING's Equinox II, where she was attacked after defeating Azurine Vebbins by famed Japanese judoka Shori Hamada. She made her debut at Pillars of Creation. On the undercard, she earned her first MGP victory by defeating Isuzu via pinfall. Later, she appeared in the ring in support of the Gaijin Assault Army, assisting in their victory over Colors of Victory. She was subsequently booked for Rainbow Road on November 28 in a fatal fourway, with the winner earning a match for the Valkyrie championship.

At Rainbow Road, Gorgo failed to win after Jessa Wells pinned Kimberly Stark. Despite the upset, Gorgo's streak of not being pinned or forced to submit continued. At Triumphant Final Impact, Gorgo defeated Karlie Nash in a singles match via pinfall. At Puroresu Gacha Machine, Gorgo was one of forty-one competitors announced to compete in mystery matches. She drew Jack Sullivan in a Kaiju Big Battel match, where the wrestlers would fight in a ring filled with miniature models of Tokyo. Gorgo once again showed her weakness in non-traditional matches, when she lost after being thrown over the top rope to the outside. The match, which seemed to have been booked as a lighthearted reference to the women being the two biggest wrestlers in Miracle Galaxy Pro, took a turn when Gorgo seemed to snap and brutally attacked Sullivan. Though the outcome didn’t see Gorgo win, she was given a second chance against Sullivan at Historic BIG BANG Anniversary in a tag match. Gorgo teamed with Marisol Vilaro against Sullivan and Veronica Cain.

At Historic Big Bang Anniversary, Marisol Vilaro and Gorgo suffered defeat due to a disqualification. Gorgo locked an armbar but Sullivan was able to reach the ropes. The referee ordered Gorgo to release the submission hold, but she ignored the instruction. The referee was forced to end the match and declare Sullivan and Cain winners. Despite the technical loss, Gorgo was given a title match against Datura for the ENDVR championship a month later at Hyper Visual Fighting.

At Hyper Visual Fighting, Gorgo defeated Datura via pinfall. During the match, Datura locked in a kneebar that Gorgo struggled to escape. Marisol Vilaro came out and climbed onto the apron, drawing Datura’s attention. Gorgo was able to get free and deliver a Kikkudemon, earning her second career championship.

Gorgo signed with CU:LT in April 2024. Her first match was against Barney Green and Ace Sky, ending in victory after submitting Ace with the Death Clutch. Her impressive win catapulted her into her first title match. In a Hangman’s Hell match, she faced Corey Black, Graig Cogan, Harvey Marx, Sunshine, and Grace Leary. At stake was the New World Championship. Gorgo failed to achieve her goal of being a triple champion when Corey Black hung her from the ropes, eliminating her from the competition.

She returned to the win column against Azurine Vebbins in a Dog Collar Match after securing the Death Clutch. Post-match, Azurine was spotted entering Gorgo’s locker room. In the weeks to follow, the two sparked a very public relationship.

At CU:LT TV Episode 8, Gorgo defeated Ace Sky, this time with the Kikkudemon. The victory guaranteed her a shot at Tony Savage’s Classic Championship.

At Wet Hot American Wrestling, Gorgo came to the rescue of her best friend, Marisol Vilaro, and in the process turned on Azurine Vebbins. After kicking Da Damsel In Dat Dress in the head, she screamed at her and mocked their relationship.

Later that night, Gorgo went head to head with Tony Savage, one of the all-time greats who had already successfully defended the Classic Championship twice after winning it from Datura, someone Gorgo held in high regard. In an all-time back and forth bout, Gorgo finally won her third singles championship when she submitted Tony Savage with the Death Clutch.

Coming at the heels of her victory, she was tasked to face Corey Black in a non-title champion versus champion match. She won via disqualification, after Azurine Vebbins exacted a measure of revenge. Under a hood, she delivered a stunning German suplex to Gorgo, sending her backward into a table.

On October 29th, Gorgo faced Azurine Vebbins at CU:LT’s Match My Freak Show with the Classic Championship on the line. After a competitive back and forth match, Gorgo secured the victory with the Death Clutch. At the end of the night, Gorgo and Marisol Vilaro attacked the SNUFF champion Corey Black. Gorgo smashed his face repeatedly in a mirror, followed by Vilaro attacking him with a fire extinguisher. It was then announced that Gorgo, Vilaro, Black, and Vebbins would face off for both the Classic Championship and the SNUFF Championship at the following event: Saved by the Bell on December 15th.

At Saved by the Bell, Gorgo faced Vilaro, Vebbins, and Black in a two falls match with the Classic and SNUFF championships up for grabs. Gorgo retained the Classic title when she scored the first pinfall by delivering a staged Finger Poke of Doom to Vilaro. In the second fall, Black knocked out Vebbins to continue his reign as SNUFF Champion while Gorgo was injured on the outside after going through a table.

In the aftermath, it was announced that at Malibu's Most Wanted, all three CU:LT singles championships would face off in one match, when the Classic, SNUFF and New World championships would collide in a three way dance. It would be Gorgo vs Corey Black vs Max Daemon to decide who would be the most dominant champion heading into a new era for the company.

At Malibu’s Most Wanted, Gorgo defeated Daemon with the Death Clutch, giving her victory over the other two champions. After the match, she raised Daemon’s New World Championship in the air before dropping it on his unconscious body. Later on social media, she called the belt a trinket while naming herself the real New World Champion.

Over the following weeks, Gorgo focused on her hostile take-over of CU:LT. The deal ultimately fell through, and at the following PPV, Pink Pony Show, Gorgo lost the CU:LT Classic Championship to Corey Black.

Seeking retribution for the interference that cost her the championship unification, Gorgo faced CU:LT founder Casanova English in the main event of the promotion's final show, The Warriors on January 28,2026. in a violent grudge match, English focused his offense on crushing Gorgo's larynx to neutralize her power, while Gorgo systematically dismantled English's left arm. After escaping a triangle choke with a sequence of powerbombs, Gorgo forced English to submit to a high-torque armbar. She stood tall as the victor over the promotion's founder in the final match of the company's existence.

Gorgo signed a contract with the historic promotion XWF in December. It was announced a week later that she would team with the Monster Machine Enigma for the opportunity to become number one contenders for the Tag Team titles. Enigma had previously worked with her brother, Jack Moreau, during UPRISING when he was going by the name LEGION. Enigma was a part of Legion's faction, the Seventh Circle. The alliance was short lived, ending when Legion turned on Enigma and attacked him from behind. In the match, Gorgo and Enigma worked well together, but it quickly became apparent that their opponents, Dolly Madison and Madison Dyson, had significantly more tag team experience and they used it to secure the victory.

Returning to singles competition, Gorgo was then booked against Enigma, Solomon Kline and LA Blade at Snow Holds Barred. During the match, Gorgo secured a submission victory by applying the Death Clutch on Enigma, earning an opportunity to fight the newly crowned XWF Television Champion Charlie Nickles. On the February 10th episode of Warzone, Gorgo and Charlie fought to a time limit draw, allowing him to retain his Television Championship. However, in the aftermath, she attacked him, hit a Kikkudemon, and pinned him for his Xtreme Championship. Later that night she defended it against Sarah Wolf, Lucy Wylde, Game Girl, and Scoops McGee. During the hardcore match, McGee connected a chairshot to Gorgo's upper back. She ceased to be a factor in the match and he won the Xtreme title by pinning Sarah Wolf. Gorgo later claimed to have suffered a concussion, despite being hit in the back and not the head.

On the following Warzone, Gorgo took part in the Ides of March tournament, facing Aurora in the first round. In a violent, competitive match, both women failed to meet a ten count, resulting in both being declared winners and setting up a potential three way dance in the next round against Solomon Kline. On the following episode of Warzone Savage, the three competitors fought in a brutal matchup. Aurora landed a series of Entropy Blades that caused significant damage that eventually dropped Gorgo, but not before she could land a Kikkudemon to Aurora. Both women collapsed, with Aurora landing on top of Kline to earn the three count and move on in the tournament.

At Ides of March, Gorgo defeated Atara Raven in under five minutes in a devastating victory for the XWF Xtreme Championship. Later in the night, after Kieran King won the Ides of March tournament finals, Gorgo appeared from a darkened arena with Marisol Vilaro, Sarah Wolf and Enigma, revealing herself as the Black Rainbow. They attacked King and then disappeared.

At May Day, Gorgo challenged James Shark for the Universal Championship. After coming up short, she announced an immediate hiatus from XWF to focus on her work in CU:LT and her responsibilities at Bifrost. However, Gorgo returned unexpectedly on the August 4th episode of Warfare. As the show neared its conclusion, her music hit. One by one, members of the Black Rainbow emerged onto the stage—among them all of Gorgo’s wives, and her daughter, Liraeth.

Gorgo made a brief return in August, defeating Bobby Bourbon. Later, after losing to Charlie Nickles, Gorgo left XWF again.

In February 2026, Gorgo published a series of public journal entries announcing her return to XWF and her entry into the March Madness tournament to crown a new King of XWF. In her statements, Gorgo addressed her erratic behavior and string of losses during the previous year, attributing them to a psychological fracture and a detrimental alternate persona she referred to as "Maraeth." Refocused and declaring herself an "apex predator," Gorgo aggressively targeted her first-round opponents, dismissing Sebastian Everett-Bryce as a fraud and expressing lingering hostility toward Scoops McGee for striking her with a steel chair during a previous championship bout.

Her return match took place the following month in a grueling Triple Threat match against Everett-Bryce and McGee for the first round of the tournament. The bout quickly devolved into a chaotic brawl involving heavy striking and the use of ancient weaponry found within the "Hall of the Warrior God" arena. Gorgo successfully eliminated Everett-Bryce after striking him with three consecutive Kikkudemon roundhouse kicks, rendering him unconscious. The match then became a violent contest between Gorgo and McGee, resulting in severe lacerations for both competitors after they engaged in a mutual spear-and-halberd exchange. In the closing moments, Gorgo applied the Black Rainbow submission hold, but McGee managed to counter the maneuver into an arm drag near a gap in the arena wall. This sent Gorgo plummeting off the stage, resulting in a Ring Out elimination and the victory for McGee.

Following her exit from the March Madness tournament, Gorgo entered a bitter rivalry with Game Girl. Through a series of public journal entries, Gorgo aggressively mocked her opponent's optimistic demeanor and vowed to violently expose her to reality, explicitly targeting Game Girl's history of severe limb injuries. During this period, Gorgo also formed an ideological alliance with Betsy Granger backstage, uniting over a shared anti-corporate sentiment and a mutual desire to disrupt the power structure of the promotion's wealthy executives.

The animosity culminated in a First Blood match on Warfare. Gorgo controlled the early portions of the bout, utilizing heavy strikes and precise Judo throws to systematically dismantle her opponent. Despite sustaining severe physical trauma—including critical structural damage to her cybernetic arm and neck—Game Girl relied on her exceptional speed and unorthodox striking to survive. The chaotic brawl saw the introduction of a warhammer and severe, reckless headbutts, though both competitors narrowly avoided sustained lacerations. In the bout's closing moments, Game Girl executed a rapid, blinding barrage of strikes that rendered Gorgo unconscious and successfully drew blood from her forehead. Game Girl was declared the victor, though she required immediate medical evacuation due to the extensive damage inflicted by Gorgo throughout the contest. Gorgo, conversely, recovered shortly after the bell and stood tall to the cheers of the crowd before leaving the arena under her own power.

On March 29, 2026, Gorgo faced Solomon Kline at the March Madness pay-per-view in a match to determine the number one contender for the XWF Television Championship. In the weeks leading up to the bout, Gorgo engaged in a deeply personal psychological campaign against Kline. Through public journal entries, she ruthlessly mocked his past struggles with substance abuse, his familial lineage, and his competitive record. She also cited her hyperthymesia, claiming that her inability to forget his past public statements fueled her hostility toward him. During the contest, Gorgo overwhelmed Kline with raw power, heavy strikes, and deliberate small joint manipulation. Although Kline managed a brief offensive surge, Gorgo ultimately isolated his arm and secured the victory via submission with the Black Rainbow. Demonstrating a continued disregard for the referee's authority, Gorgo maintained the hold after the bell to inflict further structural damage to Kline's arm.

Later that night, Gorgo joined the broadcast team at ringside to observe the Television Championship bout between defending champion Centurion and challenger Matthias Syn. Following a grueling fifteen-minute contest, Syn rendered Centurion unconscious with his Synthesis maneuver just seconds before the time limit expired, successfully capturing the title. During his post-match celebration, the newly crowned champion confronted Gorgo, who was mockingly applauding him from the announce desk while surrounded by fans wearing masks of her likeness. Syn directly addressed Gorgo from the center of the ring, formally acknowledging her as his first challenger.

The title match took place on the April 13, 2026, episode of Warfare. The bout was a violent clash of styles, pitting Gorgo's raw power and precision against Syn's speed and resilience. Gorgo utilized her strength to repeatedly counter Syn's agile attacks with high-impact throws, including a series of Northern Lights suplexes and an Emerald Frosion. Syn managed a brief offensive flurry after spitting in Gorgo's face, nearly securing a pinfall following an Acid Drop. However, Gorgo quickly regained control, splitting the champion open with a brutal running knee strike. Despite Syn's desperate attempts to survive the fifteen-minute time limit, Gorgo trapped his arm and applied the Black Rainbow submission hold. Syn immediately tapped out, marking Gorgo's first reign as the XWF Television Champion.

Gorgo's reign as XWF Television Champion was short-lived, as she defended the title against Korvayne on the April 27, 2026, episode of Warfare. Entering the contest hampered by a back injury sustained during training, Gorgo nevertheless relied on her size and grappling expertise to control much of the bout. In the closing minutes, Gorgo successfully applied the Black Rainbow submission hold and forced the challenger to tap out; however, the referee had been inadvertently incapacitated and was unable to call for the bell. During the ensuing confusion, Korvayne resorted to an illegal low blow. Although the strike was largely ineffective, the unorthodox tactic created enough of a distraction for Korvayne to capitalize and apply her Birth of Venus submission hold. Exacerbating Gorgo's pre-existing back injury, the hold ultimately forced the champion to submit, ending her reign and crowning Korvayne the new XWF Television Champion.

Citing her back injury, growing family responsibilities, and a desire to focus on opening her own wrestling promotion, Gorgo stepped away from XWF.

FWP and Gorgo began interacting on Bluesky after her public move to the sunshine state in early 2025. The promotion offered her a contract and booked her against Glitch Maxwell. On January 29, 2025 in Columbus, Georgia, Gorgo defeated Maxwell with an Ippon throw and scored the pinfall. At the following event, she faced Damon Graves for the Vortex Championship. For the first time in her career, Gorgo suffered a pinfall defeat to the champion. Shortly after, Gorgo left the promotion, citing her lack of availability given her growing commitments outside wrestling. Some, however, characterized her release as stemming from disappointment in her usage, as well as having wrestled against Graves with a concussion suffered the previous night on XWF's Warzone.

Despite her previous departure, Gorgo made a sudden reappearance on Prestige Wrestling Empire programming during the February 11, 2026, episode of Scion. In a televised address, a visibly hardened and battle-scarred Gorgo juxtaposed her current physical state with archival footage of her younger self from 2022. Highlighting her violent history and celebrating a 700-day reign as the UPRISING World Heavyweight Champion, Gorgo issued a public challenge to the wrestling world, daring anyone to step forward and attempt to take the championship gold from her.

The challenge was answered by The Nameless, culminating in a grueling Three Stages of Hell match for the rebranded UNLEASHED World Championship at Glory & Valor in Seattle on March 11, 2026. The first fall, contested under submission rules, saw Gorgo systematically damage her opponent's arm before securing the victory with the Black Rainbow. The Nameless leveled the score in the second fall, a Falls Count Anywhere match, utilizing the ringside environment and weapons to overpower Gorgo for a pinfall. The deciding final fall was contested under Last Man Standing rules and devolved into a violent, blood-soaked brawl around the arena. Gorgo ultimately retained her championship on the entrance ramp by striking The Nameless in the head with her Kick Demon roundhouse, rendering him incapacitated for the referee's ten-count. Following the match, a bloodied Gorgo retrieved her championship and stood victorious over her fallen challenger.

Gorgo made a surprise return to the promotion on the May 6, 2026, episode of Scion during a singles bout between Marisol Vilaró and Roxie Ripper. After the match was ruled a no contest due to outside interference from several unauthorized competitors aligned with Ripper, Gorgo entered the ring to assist Vilaró. Gorgo systematically dispatched the attackers before rendering Ripper unconscious with a Kikkudemon kick. Following the physical altercation, Gorgo and Vilaró stood united in the center of the ring and formally announced their alliance under the moniker "The Black Rainbow." Taking the microphone, Gorgo issued a hostile public address, delivering severe verbal threats to active competitors Donovan Basch, Kelsi Ross, and Mika, before officially declaring her intention to challenge Aleki Kekoa for the Prestige Championship.

On the May 20, 2026, episode of Scion in Indianapolis, Gorgo and Marisol Vilaró made an unsanctioned appearance, bypassing security to enter the arena through the crowd and interrupt the live broadcast. Vilaró publicly aired grievances against Prestige Wrestling Empire management and commentators, claiming institutional mistreatment before yielding the floor to Gorgo.

Taking the microphone, Gorgo delivered a hostile address directed at the broader PWE roster. She specifically admonished competitors Alan Williams, Jack Hunter, Tiffany Lynn Page, Donovan Basch, Mika Demidov, Kelsi Ross, and Aleki Kekoa, accusing them of cowardice for failing to answer her previous open challenge for the UNLEASHED Championship. Gorgo explicitly mocked Kekoa's recent elimination from an external contender's tournament at the hands of her sister, while praising The Nameless as the sole competitor brave enough to face her at Glory & Valor II. Gorgo concluded the broadcast by asserting her dominance over the promotion and ominously hinting at the existence of additional, undisclosed members operating within her "Black Rainbow" alliance.

Later in the broadcast, interviewer CJ questioned the number one contenders for the Prestige Tag Team Championship, Crown & Chaos (Emma and Mika), regarding Gorgo's earlier hostile remarks. Both women remained entirely stoic and declined to verbally acknowledge or respond to the provocations.

Later that evening, Gorgo and Vilaró competed in their first bout as an official alliance, facing the reigning PWE Tag Team Champions, The Dirge (Jack Hunter and Holo Make), in a non-title tag team match. Despite it being their debut as a cohesive unit, Gorgo and Vilaró displayed significant teamwork, utilizing rapid tags, heavy striking, and joint manipulation to challenge the champions. Gorgo nearly secured a victory for her team after applying the Black Rainbow submission and delivering a Kick Demon roundhouse kick to Hunter. However, The Dirge utilized their size and championship experience to regain control, executing a coordinated assault that knocked Gorgo off the apron and incapacitated her on the ringside floor. With Gorgo unable to intervene, Hunter and Make isolated Vilaró inside the ring and executed a combined neckbreaker and powerslam maneuver to secure the pinfall victory. Following the bell, a frustrated Gorgo recovered at ringside but refrained from further physical engagement as The Dirge stood victorious.

On June 3, 2026, at Fire and Legacy in Chicago, Gorgo faced Zach Knight in singles competition. Throughout the highly competitive bout, Gorgo utilized heavy striking, high-impact judo throws, and targeted small joint manipulation to systematically isolate Knight's arm and shoulder. Despite Knight's resilience and several successful offensive counters, Gorgo ultimately capitalized on a momentary lapse in the referee's line of sight. She executed an illegal eye gouge to break her opponent's grip, immediately following up with her Kick Demon roundhouse kick and a final high-impact throw to secure the pinfall victory.

Later that evening at Fire and Legacy, Gorgo and Vilaró returned to the arena following Crown & Chaos's (Emma Mackenzie and Mika Demidov) victory over The Dirge for the PWE Tag Team Championship. Gorgo and Vilaró entered the ring, initially appearing to confront the newly crowned champions. However, the situation rapidly shifted when Vilaró executed a sudden superkick on a recovering Jack Hunter. Gorgo and Demidov then engaged in a brief, tense standoff before openly smiling and uniting, publicly revealing Crown & Chaos as the newest members of the "Black Rainbow" faction. When Holo Make attempted to retaliate by ambushing Gorgo from behind, the newly expanded alliance quickly overwhelmed him with a coordinated assault. The physical altercation concluded when Gorgo struck Make in the head with her Kikkudemon kick, rendering him unconscious. The event ended with Gorgo, Vilaró, Mackenzie, and Demidov standing united in the center of the ring over the incapacitated former champions.

On June 17, 2026, during an episode of Scion in Detroit, Gorgo faced reigning Prestige Champion Aleki Kekoa in a non-title bout. The match served as a direct follow-up to Gorgo's previously declared intention to target Kekoa and his championship[cite: 2]. The contest proved to be highly competitive, with Gorgo utilizing targeted joint manipulation and evasive striking to counter Kekoa's significant size and power advantage. In the closing moments of the match, Gorgo deliberately pulled the officiating referee into the path of a charging Kekoa, physically incapacitating the official. Capitalizing on the lack of supervision, Gorgo lured Kekoa to the ringside floor and repeatedly assaulted him with a steel chair, culminating in a violent strike to his head against the steel ring steps that caused a severe laceration. Gorgo subsequently dragged the incapacitated champion back into the ring, roused the referee just enough to administer the count, and secured the pinfall victory. Following the bell, Gorgo mockingly gloated over the bleeding champion before exiting the arena as medical personnel rushed the ring to tend to Kekoa.

Following her victory, Gorgo was filmed in the backstage area dragging the heavily damaged steel chair she had used to assault Kekoa. In a highly erratic and mocking broadcast, Gorgo taunted the injured champion regarding the severe head trauma he sustained. She claimed her extreme violence was a direct consequence of Kekoa underestimating her by focusing his attention on another competitor, Alan Williams, prior to their bout. Dismissing Kekoa's perceived legacy and aspirations, Gorgo likened herself to a destructive force, promising that his ongoing suffering would only serve her own amusement.

At Scion: Fireworks Fallout in Cleveland, Ohio, Gorgo competed in a No Disqualification Triple Threat match against Kelsi Ross and The Nameless. The unregulated bout was characterized by Ross frequently retreating to the ringside floor, strategically allowing Gorgo and The Nameless to inflict heavy physical trauma upon one another in a continuation of their previous rivalry. Gorgo utilized a barrage of high-impact judo throws and targeted striking to maintain offensive control throughout the chaotic contest.

In the closing moments, Gorgo successfully incapacitated The Nameless with her Kick Demon roundhouse kick. Before she could secure the pinfall, Ross re-entered the ring and ambushed Gorgo from behind, striking her in the back of the head with concealed brass knuckles. The blow knocked Gorgo out of the ring, allowing Ross to capitalize on the damage Gorgo had inflicted and execute a running powerslam on The Nameless to secure the pinfall victory. Following the match, a recovering Gorgo intensely stared down Ross from the ringside barricade as the victorious competitor retreated up the entrance ramp.

On February 28, 2025, Gorgo made a surprise appearance at PWC's My Bloody Valentine, serving as a distraction that caused Thaïs Empristikí to lose to Brexley Von Doom. This revealed that Gorgo had aligned herself with Scarlett Theriot, who was forming an army to take over the company. Gorgo has described her alliance as more of a partnership than subjugation. However, later in the event, she returned to the ring and knelt before Scarlett.

On March 2nd, Gorgo once again interfered in a match on behalf of Scarlett’s army, helping Andronika defeat Lucille Theriot, Scarlett's estranged daughter. Two days later on Overload, Gorgo defeated Lucille with the aid of interference from Von Doom and Tyler Albright. On March 10th, Gorgo teamed with Von Doom and Syd Fullington against Empristikí, Jenna Walker, and Bia. Her team won in ten minutes while Scarlett observed from the ramp.

On March 12th, Gorgo defeated Alice Stefanie, former assistant to Lazarus, who was previously married to Scarlett and is the father of Lucille. Gorgo’s momentum continued against Empristikí’s Tigress faction, when Cassie Reeves, DJ, and Lucille were defeated by Gorgo, Von Doom, and Fullington. Following the match, DJ turned on Tigress, aiding in the assault on her former allies.

Four days later, at PWC’s Grand Gauntlet, Gorgo entered at #12 and immediately assisted Scarlett. Together they eliminated Reeves and Walker, after which Gorgo eliminated Andronika. Eventually, Gorgo was eliminated by Lucille and Billie Morgan, who briefly allied to eject the Woman Who Laughs. Scarlett ultimately won the Gauntlet.

On PWC Adrenaline in London, Gorgo and Scarlett captured the Women's Tag Team Championships by defeating Bia and JJW, securing gold for the Arcadian Circle. It was later revealed that any two members of the Circle could defend the titles. Three days later, Gorgo and Delilah Jeryn successfully defended against Empristikí and Hope Russo.

Gorgo’s momentum continued on the next episode of Adrenaline in Cardiff, Wales. In a heated 17-minute match, she defeated Empristikí following a Kikkudemon. Despite the loss, the bout was considered evenly matched for the majority of its duration.

At Brawlin’ Belfast, Gorgo and Scarlett were scheduled to defend the Women's Tag Team Championships once again—this time against Empristikí and Cassie Reeves. At Wrestlefest, Gorgo and Emilia Glazkov defended the titles but were defeated by Thaïs and Sandra, resulting in the loss of the championships. Following the match, both Gorgo and Glazkov departed from PWC, having fulfilled the terms of their contract.

After months of being away, Gorgo made a shocking return to PWC after weeks of hints and speculation on the August 24th episode of Adrenaline. She attacked Lucy Theriot and made her intentions clear to take the Global Championship, while affirming what everyone feared all along. The Black Rainbow had arrived in PWC. The following week, Gorgo and Kathryn Blackwood dismantled LaPantera II and Tana Blayze. Gorgo used a finisher associated with another faction, Black Lotus, foreshadowing an attack on Tigress later that night in which Gorgo and Kat led Tigress into an ambush. Lotus came out of the shadows and together Tigress was beat down.

The following week, Gorgo challenged Alice Stefanie on her retirement special show. After an impressive start, Alice was eventually overwhelmed by Gorgo and locked in the Death Clutch. After passing out, the referee signaled the bell. Kat, who had been on commentary, came into the ring and attacked the referee who was trying to pry Gorgo off Alice's neck. Eventually multiple members of the PWC roster came out to help, forcing Gorgo and Kat to leave and allow medics to attend to Alice.

At Thunder Road, Gorgo challenged Lucy Theriot for the Global Championship. The match was competitive, with Lucy securing several near falls. As the contest progressed, Gorgo took control and, after thirty minutes, applied the Death Clutch from the surfboard position. Lucy did not submit and eventually lost consciousness, leading the referee to stop the match and award the championship to Gorgo.

On the September 21st edition of Adrenaline, Gorgo was schedule to face Thaïs Empristiki in a singles match. Almost immediately, the bout was derailed by outside interference. Black Lotus and Tigress battled on the outside. Sam Tolson made her return to PWC. In the chaos, Gorgo and Thaïs battled back and forth but ultimately the match ended in a No Contest after Hope entered the ring to attack Gorgo in defense of her wife, Thaïs.

At PWC's Thunder Road on September 28th, Gorgo captured the PWC Global Championship from Lucy Theriot in a highly acclaimed and dramatic match. The contest saw Theriot mount a spirited babyface defense, scoring several near-falls with signature moves like the Fall of Phyrexia DDT. In a pivotal moment, Theriot became the first competitor to kick out of Gorgo's finisher, the KIKKUDEMON roundhouse kick. Despite this resilience, Gorgo countered a late-match offensive attempt with a stunning kiss followed by a headbutt, allowing her to take control and lock in the Death Clutch, a surfboard dragon sleeper. Theriot passed out in the hold, giving Gorgo the victory via technical submission to win the title. After the bell, Gorgo refused to immediately release the submission, cementing her new reign with a dominant and controversial statement.

Following her championship victory, Gorgo held an in-ring celebration on PWC Adrenaline where she retired the Global Championship. Presented by her wife Kat, a new title was unveiled: the PWC Omniversal Championship. The segment concluded with Gorgo asserting her dominance over the Black Rainbow stable by forcing her other wife, Mari, to remove her wedding ring and leave the ring after a heated confrontation with Kat.

On the October 12, 2025 episode of Adrenaline, Hope Russo brutally ambushed Gorgo backstage as she was heading to the ring. After attacking her with a kendo stick and throwing her through a glass window, Russo issued a challenge for the Omniversal Championship at the upcoming Grave Danger event. She concluded the assault by vowing to restore the title's former name, the PWC Global Championship, should she be victorious.

At Grave Danger, Gorgo defended the Omniversal Championship against Hope Russo. The match featured the return of Emilia Glazkov, who joined the commentary team to provide biased coverage in favor of the Black Rainbow. Russo controlled the early portion of the contest, nearly winning the title after hitting her Heaven's Gate moonsault. However, Gorgo recovered and delivered a Kikkudemon kick before locking in the Death Clutch. Russo passed out in the hold, awarding Gorgo the victory via technical submission. After the match, Gorgo and Glazkov exchanged a look of acknowledgment before the champion departed.

On the following episode of Adrenaline, Gorgo appeared alongside Emilia Glazkov, who debuted a new, disturbing persona. Dressed as a "porcelain doll" and wearing a prosthetic mask with heart-shaped eye voids, Glazkov carried championships from defunct promotions—Uprising, Miracle Galaxy Pro, and Lethal Trials. Gorgo introduced Glazkov as her "curator" and "advocate," claiming the titles she carried were relics of companies that had refused to align with The Black Rainbow and had subsequently gone "extinct." Gorgo then issued an ultimatum to PWC, stating the company faced a choice between "symbiosis" by accepting the faction, or "parasitism" and decay if they resisted, vowing that The Black Rainbow would "feed and grow" regardless of the decision.

On the November 16 episode of Adrenaline, the tag team match between Thaïs Empristiki and Sam Tolson against Sierra Morris and Marisol Vilaro ended in a no-contest following interference from Selene, Hope Russo, and members of the Black Lotus faction. A brawl subsequently erupted involving the entirety of the Tigress faction—including Lucy Theriot, Bia, Cassie Reeves, and Jenna Walker—against the alliance of Black Lotus and The Black Rainbow. During the melee, Emilia Glazkov attempted to block Bia but was knocked down with a single punch. As Tigress forced the antagonists up the ramp, Gorgo appeared alongside Ramona and Xena Wrathbone. Gorgo mocked the Tigress members regarding the numbers advantage before Ramona formally announced "Natura Selection," challenging the group to the stipulation match.

On the November 23 episode of Adrenaline, Gorgo teamed with The Rathbone Sisters (Ramona and Tara) to face Lucy Theriot, Thaïs Empristiki, and Sam Tolson. The alliance of The Black Rainbow and Black Lotus controlled the majority of the contest, isolating Theriot through frequent tags and methodical offense. The match eventually broke down into a brawl inside and outside the ring, during which Emilia Glazkov taunted Empristiki from the commentary desk. In the closing moments, Tolson struck Tara with her Mind Your Head finisher, but the referee waved off the pin attempt as Tara was not the legal competitor. Capitalizing on the confusion, Theriot trapped the legal Ramona in a cradle pin to secure the victory. Following the bell, Tolson and Empristiki successfully intercepted Gorgo at ringside, preventing the Omniversal Champion from attacking Theriot as the show went off the air.

On the following episode of Infection, Gorgo successfully defended the Omniversal Championship in a singles match against Jenna Jillian Walker.

At Natural Selection, the combined forces of The Black Rainbow and Black Lotus—collectively known as The Black Dominion—emerged victorious in a chaotic and violent match against "Tigress and the Avengers." Gorgo played a critical role in the victory, surviving an early 5-on-1 assault before rallying to eliminate Sam Tolson with a Kikkudemon kick. In the match's climax, Gorgo executed a calculated strategic sacrifice: she locked Andronika in the Death Clutch and purposefully refused to release the hold, willfully absorbing multiple kicks to the face from Lucy Theriot. Gorgo laughed through the damage, baiting Theriot into a state of tunnel vision that allowed Ramona Rathbone to blindside Theriot with the Golden Future briefcase. This setup allowed Rathbone to pin the champion and capture the TWA World Championship via the briefcase's unique cash-in stipulation.

Following the match, a power struggle erupted within the victorious team. Ramona Rathbone violently assaulted Sami Moxon with the championship belt, seizing control of the faction alongside Gorgo, Emilia Glazkov, and Jessicka Quinn. In a symbolic act of dominance, Gorgo opted not to steal the PWC World Championship from the unconscious Lucy Theriot, instead placing the belt over the fallen champion's eyes and kissing the center plate before departing with her own Omniversal title.

On the December 7th episode of Adrenaline, Gorgo appeared in the ring alongside Rathbone and Quinn to celebrate their "New Day" in PWC. They unveiled a throne constructed from the wreckage of the Natural Selection cage match, which Gorgo presented as a gift to the new TWA World Champion, Ramona Rathbone. In a significant shift in branding, Gorgo retrieved the original PWC Global Championship belt from a black bag resting on the throne. She announced that she was retiring the "Omniversal" moniker and would proceed as the PWC Global Champion, restoring the title's original name and lineage.

Later that evening, Gorgo took to social media to review the show, ending her post with a direct threat to Lucy Theriot: "I don't care if the world exists in 50 moves. All I care about, right now, is setting fire to everything in your life, Lucey Goose. For fun."

On the December 14th episode of Adrenaline, Gorgo came to the ring wearing a t-shirt proclaiming herself "The Man" and called out the locker room, declaring she would bury their legends. She demanded that the woman holding the championship "that belongs to me" face her. Sam Tolson answered the challenge, confronting Gorgo in the ring. Tolson declared she wanted the Global Championship before striking Gorgo with the microphone. From the floor, a smiling Gorgo screamed her acceptance of the challenge.

At MegaCard Night 2 on December 28th, Gorgo defended the Global Championship against Sam Tolson in a brutal Two-Out-of-Three Falls match. Gorgo secured the first fall by submission, forcing Tolson to tap out to the Black Rainbow armbar to avoid a broken arm. Tolson rallied to steal the second fall with a surprise roll-up. The final fall saw the action spill outside, where Gorgo suffered a deep laceration to her forehead after a mishap with the steel steps. Bloody but unbowed, Gorgo eventually retained her title after delivering two consecutive Kikkudemon kicks to pin Tolson.

Following the match, Gorgo continued to exert her influence over the event. After Selene Pyre failed to capture the World Women's Championship from Lucy Theriot, Gorgo appeared on the stage. She stared down Theriot before turning her attention to Pyre, regarding her stablemate with visible scorn and disappointment before walking away. Later in the night, she appeared again during the Uprising Unsanctioned World Championship match, distracting her MWA rival Jude Mitchell and costing him momentum against Lazarus. Her interference drew out Lex Collins, though a physical confrontation was avoided when Gorgo backed away, satisfied with the chaos she had caused.

On the January 4, 2026, episode of Adrenaline in Tacoma, Washington, Gorgo issued an open challenge, declaring she would defend the Global Championship every week leading up to the PWC At Sea event. She also presented herself with the MGP ENDVR and UPRISING World championships, asserting herself as the "best wrestler alive" and the "ceiling" of the industry. The challenge was answered by Andronika, leading to a match where Gorgo focused heavily on the challenger's legs and neck. After a back-and-forth contest exceeding twenty minutes, Gorgo retained the title by forcing Andronika to submit to the Black Rainbow.

The following week in Oakland, California, Gorgo appeared in the ring alongside Emilia Glazkov and Selene Pyre, displaying her collection of championship belts and her Olympic gold medal. She characterized her previous encounter with Andronika as "real art" before issuing another open challenge, which was answered by Bella Stevenson. Despite Stevenson securing a deep gogoplata that nearly forced a submission, Gorgo utilized her strength to break the hold with a powerbomb. Gorgo eventually secured the victory via technical submission, locking Stevenson in the Black Rainbow until she surrendered. The match concluded with the audience delivering a standing ovation for Stevenson's effort while Gorgo remained dominant.

On the January 18, 2026, episode of Adrenaline in Las Vegas, Nevada, Gorgo successfully defended the Global Championship against Val Marshall. The match was preceded by an ambush from Marshall, who struck Gorgo with a kick to the head before the opening bell. After a dominant opening stretch by the challenger, Gorgo regained control by focusing her offense on Marshall's neck and shoulder, including a Snap Dragon suplex onto the concrete floor at ringside. In the closing minutes, Marshall applied the Halted Fate armbar, but Gorgo reversed the maneuver into the Black Rainbow to secure a submission victory. Following the match, Gorgo maintained the submission hold until the referee reached a four-count.

Later that evening, Gorgo participated in an in-ring "Summit" alongside Billie Morgan and Undisputed Women’s World Champion Lucy Theriot ahead of their unification match at PWC At Sea. During the segment, Gorgo claimed she had orchestrated the match's creation and ridiculed the personal and professional motivations of her opponents. The confrontation eventually devolved into a three-way brawl that required intervention from security and local police. The broadcast concluded with Gorgo, Theriot, and Morgan being taken into custody and escorted from the arena in handcuffs.

On January 28, 2026, at PWC At Sea, Gorgo defended the Global Championship in a high-stakes unification match against Lucy Theriot and Billie Morgan, with six championships on the line. Moments into the contest, the ring was swarmed by six hooded figures led by Bexley Von Doom. Gorgo attempted to fight off the ambush but was overwhelmed by the numbers advantage. After being struck in the head with a steel chair by Von Doom, an unconscious Gorgo was dragged out of the arena by the assailants. Consequently, she was removed from the match, and Lucy Theriot went on to win the unification, ending Gorgo's reign as Global Champion.

Following the event, footage surfaced of a violent altercation in the ship's medical center involving Gorgo and The Black Rainbow faction fighting with security personnel. The situation escalated until the ship's captain ordered the group to disembark in the Dominican Republic. Before leaving, Gorgo looked into a camera and promised retribution against her attackers.

Gorgo made her return on the February 1 episode of Adrenaline: Final Sacrament. Backstage, she ambushed Jessica Carter—one of the women involved in the cruise ship attack—during an interview segment. In a brutal assault, Gorgo dislocated Carter's shoulder and smashed a studio monitor over her head. Afterward, Gorgo declared Carter "scratched off" her list and vowed to hunt down the remaining conspirators: Bexley Von Doom, Sierra Morris, Mia Francesca Giordano, and Nora Adams.

On February 7 at Super Brawl II, Gorgo appeared via satellite from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. In a sinister address, she mocked Von Doom for leading her friends into a "meat grinder" and rejected the idea of being a ruler, stating she only wanted to "eat." Gorgo concluded the message by challenging Von Doom and her four remaining allies to face her alone in a 5-on-1 handicap match at the upcoming Seminole Wind event.

In December 2025, Gorgo became involved in a public dispute with fellow competitor Lazarus. The conflict initially stemmed from competing championship claims, as Lazarus held an unsanctioned UPRISING championship while Gorgo was the recognized UPRISING World Champion. Despite public anticipation for a bout between the two, a match never materialized. On January 6, 2026, Lazarus published a now-deleted social media post insinuating that Gorgo operated an "Epstein Island". Gorgo responded by demanding a match. Instead of accepting the challenge, Lazarus went directly to UPRISING management, explicitly refusing to ever face her in the ring, and subsequently went home, choosing not to compete in UPRISING altogether.

Tensions escalated the following month in the week prior to Pro Wrestling Collective's closing. Lazarus, who had been given the position of producer for the February 15th's edition of Adrenaline, used his increased executive authority to initiate a series of online attacks against Gorgo, despite her having previously blocked him following the January incident. This coincided with circulating rumors that Lazarus planned to pay a female competitor to take a public beating on the broadcast in an attempt to prove women could not compete against men. Gorgo unblocked Lazarus and retaliated with a scathing series of social media posts parodying the "No, David!" children's books. Gorgo heavily criticized Lazarus's professional legacy, his history of addiction, his alleged misogyny, and his relationship with his daughter. She further asserted that his career held no value outside of the insulated environments of PWC and TWA. Her full statement read as follows:

"the library is open! 😵‍💫

tonight's book is "Okay, Laz" by The Collective. a book about a "super smart" problem child who mistakes a temper tantrum for rebellion—and the world who hands him whatever he wants just so he shuts the fuck up.

the publisher burned the press.

laz loves grunge, blackbirds, and sucking the life outta every party that aint centered around him.

laz hates yucky girls so he draws pictures of 'em handcuffed or tied up. "i'm a monster" he says proudly as he kicks a defenseless girl in the face.

nah, you're a felon.

you aren't an enigma, laz. you're a cover band playing hits from 1997 to the same 3 people. the only thing legendary about you is your commitment to scrolling r/TheRedPill for ways to "evolve" your "character."

you got the emotional depth of chatbot trained on an incel forum.

where is laz? hiding in a closet playing with himself while failing to find a lyric that rhymes with 'melancholia'.

until it's someone else's turn on the spotlight. then he screamed over the music, demanding credit for building the house he’s been actively squatting in.

you confuse tenure with value cuz someone saw a dusty ass bottle with your mug on it and deemed it "vintage." Take a swig. Tastes like regurgitated piss.

you ain't no infection. you're mold thriving on stagnation, demanding the ceiling be lowered so you don't gotta jump.

laz was a very naughty boy! he drank every drop of juice and ate all sugary sugar bombs! did he get a timeout? no! every time laz eats too much and shits the bed, here comes mommy management to clean it all up, pat him on the head and head back to the store to restock.

laz is king of the sandbox! and every time he's caught eating cat shit mommy management gives him a new burger king crown to distract him. laz lives in a cradle of enablement. but now new kids on the playground don't see a legend. they see a kid eating cat shit.

you ain't the monster, laz. you're a drunk. an addict. a shit father who wasn't there for his daughter. you know what that makes you? average. you're like 90% of male wrestlers of your generation.

1 part failed fatherhood. 1 part addiction. 1 part layne staley fanfiction.

"what would layne say in this promo if he were a wrestler?"

he wouldn't because he had the sense to die on a couch in the dark rather than subject the world to his infection.

now if any of you have one fucking problem with this library sesh, let me remind you—this is just part of the game, right? we're just wrestlers straight shootin' for clicks and views. and it ain't my fault you're ike turner sans talent but all the misogyny. that's your big wheel keeping on turning. every time it dumps over, it smacks the next man or woman up.

here's the skinny, laz. without pwc and twa, you're james franco with a wrestling school, one slipped NDA away from closure. nobody cares about those twenty one 'championships' outside of your playground.

and when it closes, you'll just be left with a sandbox full of cat shit."

In the days following this public exchange, the scheduled segment was scrapped, and Pro Wrestling Collective abruptly ceased operations. On February 15, 2026, it was announced that PWC had been sold to the True Wrestling Alliance, though reports indicated ownership had been considering a sale for weeks. Gorgo received considerable public blame for the company's sudden closure. She publicly dismissed these accusations, stating on social media:

"i have been horribly mistreated. and why? because of some reputation i have? i'm 'poison.' i'm 'the problem.' i'm 'self servant.'

a 'company killing bitch.'

honey, if i killed your company with words, it was already past the expiration date."

Gorgo was signed to the MWA revival. Former UPRISING co-owner/GM Larry Gowan was instrumental in the contract negotiations, despite his rocky history with Gorgo and the closure of UPRISING, for which Gorgo has been blamed by critics. Gorgo made her MWA debut at the Old School Anarchy event, entering the AGN Gauntlet match for the vacant MWA World Championship as the 19th participant. She made an immediate impact, eliminating Hunter Lewis and engaging in a perplexing alliance with Jude Mitchell where she seemingly directed Mitchell's actions. Gorgo showcased incredible durability by becoming only the second wrestler to ever kick out of Lito Kruz's finisher, the Kruz Missile, before ultimately being eliminated by Mitchell after sustaining three consecutive finishers.

On the following episode of Battlezone, Gorgo competed in her MWA singles debut, defeating Ally Nova. After unsettling her opponent with psychological tactics by delaying her entrance before suddenly appearing in the ring, Gorgo dominated the contest. She secured a decisive victory by pinfall after knocking Nova unconscious with the KIKKUDEMON.

On the October 27, 2025 episode of Battlezone, Gorgo continued her psychological warfare, displaying a more supernatural "Eater of Dreams" persona. Earlier in the night, she confronted suspended commentator Kent Baxter outside the arena, claiming to be the "lattice of reality," and approached Calliope Culas backstage, criticizing her choice of tag team partner. In the ring, Gorgo faced MWA veteran Brennan Sweets. Utilizing a mix of mind games and heavy striking, she defeated Sweets via technical submission with the Death Clutch. Post-match, she was seen whispering into the unconscious Sweets' ear before departing.

On the November 10, 2025 episode of Battlezone broadcast from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gorgo faced Carlos Mayser to determine the number one contender for the MWA World Championship. The bout was a highly competitive, back-and-forth affair that saw the action spill to the outside. The conclusion was controversial; Lex Collins attempted to intervene but was intercepted by MWA Union President Jack Griggs and security. Seizing the moment of distraction, Gorgo delivered a low blow to Mayser, followed immediately by the KIKKUDEMON to secure the pinfall victory. The win officially positioned her as the next challenger for Jude Mitchell's title.

After it was announced that Yelena would be facing Jude Mitchell in a teg match, each with a mystery partner, a cinematic vignette titled "Requiem for a Dream" was released via social media on December 5, 2025. The segment featured Emilia Glazkov hitchhiking in Hawaii before being picked up by Gorgo, who was driving a customized 18-wheeler dubbed the "Gorgo Express." The video officially confirmed Glazkov as the mystery partner for the upcoming match against Jude Mitchell. Marking a definitive tonal shift, Gorgo likened her recent past to "trash" that needed to be hauled away to facilitate a reset, closing the video by declaring that while the "Dream" was over, the "Nightmare" had just begun.

On the December 8, 2025 episode of Battlezone in Honolulu, Hawaii, she appeared on the "BBQ Pit" interview segment. During the segment, she publicly abandoned the "Maraeth" persona and the "Eater of Dreams" gimmick, formally reclaiming her birth name, Yelena Gorgo. She declared herself "The Man" and "The Spiral for a new generation," while verbally dismantling the MWA roster and physically intimidating the host, Nephew Brown. Later in the evening, Gorgo was scheduled to face MWA World Champion Jude Mitchell in the previously advertised "Mystery Partner" match. However, the match never officially began. Gorgo and Emilia Glazkov ambushed Mitchell and his partner, Sam McLeod, upon their entrance. The duo delivered simultaneous brainbusters to Mitchell and McLeod before engaging security personnel. The assault sparked a massive bench-clearing brawl involving the majority of the locker room to separate the two factions, heightening tensions ahead of their title match at Rising Sons.

On December 10, 2025, Gorgo made a surprise debut at Eternia's Shattered Prism event. Following a promo by the reigning Moonstone Champion, Allysin Kay, the arena lights were cut. When they returned, Gorgo appeared behind Kay and struck her with a steel chair bearing the champion's name. Taking the microphone, she declared the arrival of the Black Rainbow before taking a seat to watch the aftermath.

Moments later, Helena Handbasket entered the ring to cash in her "Queen of Love and Beauty" championship opportunity. Gorgo observed from the corner, appearing to tease interference, but ultimately allowed Handbasket to deliver a jumping knee strike to the injured champion. Handbasket secured the pinfall to win the Moonstone Championship. Following the match, Gorgo and Handbasket exchanged a knowing smirk before Gorgo exited the arena, leaving the new champion to celebrate.

On January 23, 2026, at Celestial Storm, Gorgo faced Miranda Fletcher in singles competition. The match served as a clinical display of anatomical targeting, as Gorgo utilized heavy strikes and precision grappling to systematically dismantle Fletcher's guard . Following a dominant performance that left her opponent with a significant shoulder injury, Gorgo secured the victory via submission with the Black Rainbow. Displaying a notable lack of sportsmanship, Gorgo initially refused to release the hold after the official's signal, necessitating physical intervention by the referee.

Later that evening, following the conclusion of the Black Garnet Championship "I Quit" match, Gorgo entered the ring to attack the reigning champion, Bia. The altercation followed weeks of escalating tension involving Bia’s previous victories over Gorgo's associates in the Black Rainbow, as well as a public dispute between the two athletes on social media earlier that day. Capitalizing on the champion's physical exhaustion, Gorgo ambushed Bia and rendered her unconscious with a Kikkudemon roundhouse kick . Gorgo then performed the symbolic gesture of draping the championship belt over the prone titleholder before exiting the arena.

On February 13, 2026, at Crimson Invasion, Gorgo faced Gina Van Zyl in the main event to determine the number one contender for the Black Garnet Championship. The bout followed a deeply personal buildup in which Gorgo publicly mocked Van Zyl's recent professional and marital losses. Competing in a match with disabled safety guardrails, the two women engaged in a highly violent, unregulated contest featuring the use of steel chairs, pepper spray, a Singapore cane, and thousands of thumbtacks. Gorgo secured the victory and the number one contendership when Van Zyl was unable to answer the referee's ten-count. The match stoppage occurred due to severe back trauma after Gorgo slammed Van Zyl into a bed of thumbtacks and applied a high-angle Boston crab submission.

Immediately following the match, the arena's artificial intelligence broadcaster utilized advanced facial recognition technology to publicly reveal that Gorgo's missing childhood siblings were fellow Eternia competitors Helena Handbasket and Mattie Knox. Distracted by the ensuing shock of this revelation, Gorgo was ambushed inside the ring by reigning Black Garnet Champion Bia. The champion capitalized on the moment, executing a Maelstrom to drive the newly crowned number one contender face-first into the scattered thumbtacks to close the event.

On March 6, 2026, at Neon Lineage, Gorgo teamed with her recently revealed sister, reigning Moonstone Champion Helena Handbasket, in a tag team main event against Black Garnet Champion Bia and Thaïs Empristikí. The match stemmed from a volatile verbal confrontation between the two factions earlier in the broadcast. In the bout's closing moments, Handbasket feigned a catastrophic knee injury to lower Empristikí's guard. Gorgo immediately capitalized on the deception, striking Empristikí with a Kikkudemon roundhouse kick, which allowed Handbasket to deliver a final strike and secure the pinfall victory.

The bitter rivalry between Gorgo and Bia culminated on March 29, 2026, at Love and Fate, where Gorgo challenged for the Black Garnet Championship in a Voltage Vengeance match. Competing in a flooded ring, the objective was to ascend a twenty-foot ladder and activate a high-voltage electrical switch to incapacitate the opponent. During the grueling contest, Gorgo once again utilized psychological warfare by faking a severe knee ligament tear. The deception successfully baited the champion into abandoning her ascent up the ladder in favor of attempting to inflict further bodily harm. Gorgo abruptly dropped the ruse and ambushed the champion, rendering her unconscious with a Kikkudemon kick followed by a Downward Spiral. Gorgo then climbed the ladder and activated the electrical switch, surging the flooded ring with high voltage to win the Black Garnet Championship.

On April 24, 2026, at Destiny Rewritten, Gorgo, alongside Helena Handbasket and Emilia Glazkov, commandeered the broadcast booth during the main event between Nora Adams and Juliana Rodriguez, forcibly shutting down the arena's artificial intelligence announcer in the process. Following Rodriguez's pinfall victory, Gorgo entered the ring to mockingly congratulate the victor by offering her a disparaging t-shirt. Rodriguez rejected the gesture and struck Gorgo in the face, prompting Gorgo to immediately retaliate with a physical assault. Izzi Grimes rushed the ring and struck Gorgo with a dropkick to defend Rodriguez. The ensuing altercation concluded when Handbasket intervened and incapacitated Grimes using a concealed trap that coated Grimes's face and upper body in a black, tar-like substance and feathers.

The hostilities between Gorgo and Juliana Rodriguez escalated heading into the Starfall event on May 8, 2026. Prior to the event, the HEXEN faction—consisting of Gorgo, Handbasket, and their manager Emilia Glazkov—released a public address mocking Rodriguez and her tag team partner, Izzi Grimes, with Gorgo vowing to violently dismantle them. At the event, Gorgo and Handbasket faced Rodriguez and Grimes in a tag team match. The contest ultimately broke down when Grimes exited the ring and struck Glazkov with a concealed pair of brass knuckles, rendering the manager unconscious at the broadcast desk. Handbasket immediately abandoned the match to attend to Glazkov. Exploiting the chaotic situation and a distracted referee, Grimes returned to the ring and struck Gorgo in the head with the brass knuckles. The illegal blow caused a severe laceration to Gorgo's head and allowed Rodriguez to secure the pinfall victory.

Following the bell, a violent brawl erupted between the competitors. Handbasket attacked Grimes and Rodriguez, ultimately biting Grimes's wrist to disarm her of the brass knuckles. Despite heavy blood loss, Gorgo recovered from the strike and violently threw Grimes across the ring before attempting a retaliatory curb stomp on Rodriguez. The event concluded with arena security and officials flooding the ring to physically separate the warring factions.

On May 30, 2025, at Worlds Apart, Gorgo opened the event with an in-ring address explaining her hostilities toward her scheduled opponent, Estrella Rodriguez. Gorgo detailed a violent childhood incident in Moldova where she rescued her manager, Emilia Glazkov, from an abusive household, establishing their deep personal bond as the catalyst for her anger over a prior altercation in which Izzi Grimes struck Glazkov with brass knuckles. Unable to target Grimes directly, Gorgo stated her intention to exact proxy revenge by inflicting severe physical trauma upon Rodriguez, the cousin and close friend of Grimes's associate, Jewels.

During their subsequent match, Rodriguez ambushed Gorgo prior to the opening bell, striking her in the head with concealed brass knuckles. Despite suffering a severe facial laceration, Gorgo survived the early onslaught and systematically dismantled Rodriguez's surgically repaired right knee using heavy joint manipulation and ground control. Gorgo secured the victory via submission utilizing the Standing Ashi-Hishagi. Following the official stoppage, Gorgo refused to release the hold, prompting Jewels to enter the ring and repeatedly strike Gorgo with a steel chair. A violent brawl ensued, concluding when Gorgo's associate, Roxie Ripper, emerged from beneath the ring to assault both Estrella and Jewels with the weapon. Standing over her incapacitated rivals, Gorgo revealed that the entire situation was a ruse to draw her to the ring, and that Izzi Grimes had been barricaded in a backstage closet to prevent her intervention. Gorgo then announced that her upcoming Black Garnet Championship defense against Jewels would be contested under "The Litany" rules—an unregulated submission bout requiring the defeated competitor to concede by verbally stating, "I deserve this," into a microphone.

In response to the violent aftermath at Worlds Apart, Eternia General Manager April Skywalker issued disciplinary sanctions against Gorgo. Skywalker altered the upcoming schedule, canceling Gorgo's planned title defense against Juliana Rodriguez and mandating she instead face Kelsey Savage at Hidden Heart. Utilizing her privileges as the Black Garnet Champion, Gorgo retaliated by stipulating the bout would be a Taipei Death Match.

Prior to the bout at Hidden Heart on June 13, 2026, Gorgo delivered a pre-recorded address directed at Savage. Displaying a highly erratic demeanor, Gorgo disparaged Savage's collegiate athletic background and family life, contrasting Savage's traditional upbringing with her own traumatic history. Gorgo explicitly stated her intention to inflict severe facial trauma and permanent physical disfigurement, concluding the broadcast by revealing she had adhered shards of broken glass to her taped fists in preparation for their unregulated contest.

During the Taipei Death Match, both women utilized their glass-covered fists to inflict severe lacerations and heavy bleeding upon one another. Despite Savage's resilience and multiple desperate offensive flurries, Gorgo ultimately overpowered her challenger through sheer brutality and striking dominance. Gorgo secured the pinfall victory to retain the Black Garnet Championship after executing the Maelstrom—the signature finishing maneuver of her upcoming opponent and former champion, Bia—as a deliberate taunt. Following the match, a heavily bleeding Gorgo crawled to the ringside camera, delivered a menacing verbal threat, and smeared blood across the lens to close the broadcast.

At Crown Zenith on June 28, 2026, Gorgo released a pre-recorded broadcast directed at her scheduled opponent, Juliana Rodriguez. Filmed from inside a moving vehicle, Gorgo exhibited a highly volatile demeanor, fluctuating between mocking dismissiveness and aggressive threats. During the address, Gorgo detailed her tactical motivations for severely injuring Rodriguez's cousin, Estrella, at a prior event, confirming the attack was a deliberate strategy to lure Rodriguez into a physical altercation and secure a Litany Match stipulation for their upcoming bout. Gorgo further stated that her subsequent, violent title defenses against Kelsey Savage and Bia had only amplified her hostile intentions. She concluded the broadcast by reiterating the extreme, unregulated parameters of the Litany Match, promising to subject Rodriguez to immense physical suffering until she was forced to verbally concede.

On June 28, 2026, at Crown Zenith, Gorgo defended the Black Garnet Championship against Juliana Rodriguez in the stipulated Litany Match. The bout devolved into a highly violent, unregulated contest that heavily utilized the ringside environment and ritualistic weaponry, resulting in Gorgo suffering a ruptured eardrum from a ringside gong. Despite the significant trauma, Gorgo ultimately overpowered Rodriguez with a barrage of heavy strikes, culminating in a Kick Demon roundhouse kick that incapacitated the challenger. Gorgo then applied the Black Rainbow submission hold. When Rodriguez refused to issue the mandatory verbal concession, Gorgo applied extreme torque to visibly dislocate Rodriguez's shoulder, prompting the referee to immediately wave off the contest. Gorgo was awarded the victory via referee stoppage to retain the championship.

Immediately following the bell, Gorgo assaulted the officiating referee, locking the official in the Black Rainbow until she verbally submitted to the match's original stipulation. Gorgo then advanced on the severely injured Rodriguez but was intercepted by the sudden arrival of Rodriguez's cousin, Estrella, who rushed the ring to act as a physical shield. The post-match altercation concluded without further violence when Gorgo's manager, Emilia Glazkov, entered the ring, presented Gorgo with the championship belt, and successfully convinced her to de-escalate and exit the arena.

Following her victory at Crown Zenith, Gorgo publicly addressed an ongoing familial conflict. At Pro Championship Wrestling's event The Terrordome, Gorgo's sibling, Matthew, defeated their twin, Halsey. The victory awarded Matthew control of the "Helena Handbasket" ring identity and, by proxy, Halsey's Eternia Moonstone Championship. On June 30, 2026, Gorgo released a statement on social media declaring her intention to directly intervene in the sibling rivalry. She formally announced her plan to invoke Eternia's "Rite of Ascension"—a rule allowing a Black Garnet Champion with three successful title defenses to relinquish their championship in exchange for a Moonstone Championship opportunity—immediately following her next scheduled title defense, officially setting her sights on Matthew and the promotion's top prize. Here is Gorgo's statement, as posted on her X account.

I TRIED TO STAY OUT OF IT. I really did. And ya know what? I felt some Big Sis pride watching @ToTheHelenBack score the final pinfall over @Cases4Baskets. To see them show the world that they are ever bit as good at this as their twin. But I've allowed this family drama play out long enough. Daddy-O would not like me sitting on the fuckin bench watching you two fight over who gets to play with the pail and shovel. So now I'm flippin the sandbox. After I score my next title defense, I will be excercisin my right to relinquish the Black Garnet Championship for a shot at the @EterniaProWres Moonstone Championship. Buckle up, kid. It's gonna be a BUMPY RIDE.

Unified Global Wrestling Coalition

On March 11, 2026, Gorgo signed a contract with the Unified Global Wrestling Coalition (UGWC) and immediately initiated a deeply personal rivalry with Betsy Granger. Leading up to their scheduled bout at the Ignition pay-per-view on March 23, Gorgo engaged in severe psychological warfare. Through public statements, she ruthlessly mocked Granger's eccentric persona and stated her intention to traumatize Granger in order to force a more violent, monstrous competitor to the surface. During their highly technical contest, Gorgo utilized her heavy striking and precision Judo, at one point resorting to biting her opponent's hand to escape a chokehold. Despite the vicious assault, Granger persevered. In the closing moments of the match, Granger successfully trapped Gorgo in the Tuez Les Etoiles submission hold. Refusing to tap out, Gorgo ultimately lost consciousness, resulting in a victory for Granger via referee stoppage.

On April 6, 2026, Gorgo competed in a violent Chaos Division match against Rowan Thorne on an episode of Synergy. The bout quickly escalated into a brutal, weapon-heavy brawl that utilized steel chairs, a toolbox, and a plate of glass. During the grueling contest, Gorgo sustained a severe laceration to her forehead but managed to survive Thorne's heavy offense. In the closing moments, Gorgo resorted to an illegal low blow to halt her opponent's momentum before executing three consecutive Kick Demon strikes to secure the victory via pinfall.

Two weeks later, on the April 20 episode of Synergy, Gorgo faced Zane Scott in a non-title Chaos Division match. Scott immediately overpowered Gorgo, systematically targeting her shoulder and ribs. Despite Gorgo's brief attempts to utilize a steel chair and a kendo stick at ringside to equalize the contest, Scott maintained overwhelming physical dominance. The brief, one-sided bout concluded in under four minutes when Scott delivered a Full Throated strike across the top rope, followed by his Conspiracy of Silence maneuver to defeat Gorgo via pinfall.

Citing her back injury, growing family responsibilities, and a desire to focus on opening her own wrestling promotion, Gorgo stepped away from UGWC.

Pro Championship Wrestling

PCW Relaunch (2026—present)

In January 2026, the intellectual property and video library of Pro Championship Wrestling (PCW)—the promotion where Gorgo's father launched his international career—became available following the death of its founder, Frank Sullivan. Gorgo directed her firm, Bifrost Capital, to acquire the assets for $30 million. She also completed the refurbishment of the Municipal Auditorium, a project initially financed by her late brother prior to his death, to serve as the promotion's primary venue. On April 2, 2026, Gorgo secured a broadcast distribution deal with YouTube Primetime to feature both archival and live PCW programming, and she appointed former wrestler and Bifrost executive Emilia Glazkov as the promotion's General Manager to oversee day-to-day operations.

Following the structural revival of the promotion, PCW announced its inaugural return event, PCW UNLEASHED presents The Iron Gauntlet. It was stipulated that the winner of the grueling twenty-four-woman endurance match would earn the right to challenge Gorgo at the promotion's subsequent supershow, The Terrordome—a specialized match concept originally created by her father. On May 7, 2026, Bia emerged victorious from the Iron Gauntlet, outlasting twenty-three other competitors over the course of fifty-nine minutes. Following the bout, Gorgo entered the ring to confront Bia, marking their first physical proximity since Gorgo defeated her for the Black Garnet Championship in a brutal Voltage Vengeance match in Eternia Pro Wrestling. The tense standoff ultimately concluded with Gorgo raising Bia's hand, formally acknowledging her as the number one contender.

On May 21, 2026, during episode 102 of PCW Unleashed, Gorgo confronted the newly crowned number one contender for the PCW Unleashed Championship, Bia. Following Bia's victory in the Iron Gauntlet, the challenger publicly addressed her success before Gorgo interrupted to dispute Bia's physical readiness and mental fortitude for their upcoming championship bout at the Terrordome event. The tense verbal altercation culminated with Gorgo demanding Bia prove her resilience. Immediately following this ultimatum, the arena suffered a sudden, temporary lighting failure. Upon the restoration of the lights, Gorgo had vacated the ring, and her associate, Roxie Ripper, was revealed to have ambushed and incapacitated Bia with a steel trash can. Standing over the fallen challenger, Ripper announced that Gorgo had orchestrated an unregulated Death Match between Ripper and Bia scheduled to take place two weeks later.

Two weeks later on PCW Unleashed, Bia defeated Gorgo's associate, Roxie Ripper, in a Black Rainbow Death Match, securing the pinfall victory after executing the Maelstrom. Immediately following the bout, Gorgo interrupted the broadcast via a live video feed from a nearby construction warehouse. Addressing the victorious number one contender, Gorgo admitted she had intentionally orchestrated Ripper's violent, unregulated contest to test Bia's physical endurance and mental resolve. During the address, Gorgo formally unveiled the "Terrordome"—a massive, heavily weaponized steel cage structure—and established the unique stipulations for their upcoming PCW Unleashed Championship match. Gorgo announced the bout would be a no-disqualification, no-time-limit contest with the championship suspended twenty feet above the ring, mandating that a competitor must first successfully pin their opponent before being permitted to ascend the structure and retrieve the title.

On June 18, 2026, at Terrordome, Gorgo defended the PCW Unleashed Championship against Bia in the titular Terrordome match. The bout was an exceptionally violent, unregulated contest that heavily utilized the enclosing steel structure, alongside introduced weaponry including steel chairs, fluorescent light tubes, and thousands of thumbtacks. Per the match stipulations, competitors were required to secure a pinfall before attempting to retrieve the suspended championship. Bia successfully registered the first pinfall over the champion. Gorgo subsequently earned her own climbing eligibility by driving Bia through a wooden table with a deliberate execution of Bia's own signature maneuver, the Maelstrom.

The match climaxed with both women fighting at the apex of a ladder positioned in the center of the ring. Bia overpowered Gorgo and executed a Maelstrom from the top of the ladder, sending Gorgo plummeting to the canvas into a scattered bed of thumbtacks. Incapacitated by the severe impact and extensive physical trauma, Gorgo was unable to pursue her opponent. Bia proceeded to navigate the cage ceiling, retrieving the suspended championship to secure the victory and officially end Gorgo's title reign. Immediately following the conclusion of the bout, medical personnel entered the structure to secure Gorgo to a backboard. Despite suffering significant lacerations and blood loss, Gorgo was observed laughing maniacally as she was stretchered out of the arena.

Special Appearances

In September 2024, Gorgo wrestled Serenity Holmes in a grudge match at Corey Grave’s Kumite event in Manhattan, NY. The two initially agreed to a submission match, which later became a point of contention for Gorgo after the match was changed to a ladder match. In her view, this was done to give Holmes an advantage. Gorgo, of course, has always had difficulty in non-traditional matches. The match ended with Holmes kicking Gorgo in the back of the head off a ladder.

Gorgo suffered a concussion and was later attacked outside the venue. Other than the attack, she hasn’t spoken publicly about the match outcome and has, thus far, refused to comment when asked directly.

The Black Rainbow

In early 2025, Gorgo began referring to a mysterious entity known as the Black Rainbow during her appearances in both CU:LT Wrestling and XWF. Initially dismissed as a poetic branding gimmick or fictional faction, the Black Rainbow has since evolved into a fully realized onscreen cult, often described by commentators and fans as a “wrestling cult” or “psychedelic horror movement.”

The group is characterized by esoteric language, ritualistic imagery, and a shared devotion to principles of ego death, psychic transcendence, and bodily transformation. Promos involving Black Rainbow members frequently include cryptic mantras, mirror iconography, and stylized visuals blending glamour and horror. The faction’s presence is signified by a recurring emblem: a fractured circle haloed in iridescent tones, referred to by fans as the “Broken Prism.”

Though the structure of the Black Rainbow remains intentionally obscure, Gorgo is widely acknowledged as its center. Wrestlers such as Marisol Vilaro, Emilia Glazkov (The Advocate), and Angel Hamada are considered principal members due to shared symbolism and synchronized appearances. In CU:LT, the group has become a major creative force, with their presence blurring lines between performance and psychological manipulation. Additional members include Enigma and Sarah Wolf, with suggestions of further initiates to come.

The Black Rainbow has earned critical acclaim for its cinematic presentation and conceptual depth, while also drawing controversy for perceived allusions to real-world cult behavior. Neither XWF nor CU:LT Wrestling has offered official clarification on whether the faction is purely narrative or partially experiential. As of mid-2025, it remains one of the most polarizing and discussed phenomena in contemporary wrestling.

In April 2025, Gorgo—through her onscreen persona as the Eater of Dreams—announced her intent to orchestrate a hostile takeover of CU:LT. While owner Casanova English has thus far resisted, speculation continues regarding how long that resistance will hold.

Business Career

The Niels Gram Foundation

Outside of wrestling, Gorgo serves as the CEO and Chair of the Niels Gram Foundation. In 2004, Niels Gram founded Livets Træ, a non-profit NGO dedicated to humanitarian and scientific causes. The initial endowment came through the sale of several family properties, as well as stock owned in the LEGO company. For most of the foundation's existence, Gram was not directly involved in day-to-day operations. Some accused him of using the foundation to shield his assets from potential seizure during the criminal investigations launched against him in 2007 and again in 2010.

After he was eventually cleared of all wrongdoing in 2017, Gram used his blanket acquittal and influence with several key board members to take control of the foundation. Between 2017 and his death in 2020, the foundation's endowment increased from 139 million to over 600 million, due in part to skyrocketing LEGO stock prices and the launching of for-profit subsidiary Bifrost Capital, LLC, a venture capitalist firm focused on investments in the tech sector. Bifrost made several significant series investments in Postmates, Roblox, Sigma, and Kickstarter.

After Gram’s death in 2020, his assets were transferred in accordance with his will to his son, Nathan Grey. Initially, the Livets Træ Board of Directors elected new leadership from within, but Gram had expressed his wish for Grey to take over. His closest allies on the board pushed for Grey’s appointment, which was confirmed in January 2021.

One of his first acts was renaming the foundation after his birth mother, Jacqueline Moreau, whom he never knew. Moreau died in 2007 by suicide. Her death was initially treated as a homicide investigation with Gram as the primary suspect. Though charges were ultimately dropped, the history made some board members uneasy. Still, there was a growing interest in distancing the foundation from Gram’s past. In May, the name change was approved and the process began to rebrand the nonprofit as the Jacqueline Moreau Foundation. Grey began shifting the organization’s focus to public health initiatives, particularly mental illness, in honor of his mother and his own diagnosis of schizophrenia.

On November 1, 2021, Grey was struck by a city bus in Las Vegas while crossing the street, suffering severe bodily and brain injuries. He was placed in a medically induced coma. Gorgo was granted power of attorney and assumed leadership of the foundation in his place.

As Gram’s only child raised under his care, Gorgo consolidated support and was elected CEO and Chair. Her first action was halting the rebranding. She proposed instead that if Livets Træ were to be renamed, it should be in honor of her father. Once it was determined that Grey would not regain cognitive capacity to return, Gorgo received near-unanimous board support. By the end of 2021, Livets Træ was officially renamed the Niels Gram Foundation.

Under her leadership, the NGF has continued funding global humanitarian initiatives—from vaccine research to local projects across the United States. In 2024, the foundation launched a $20 million campaign to replace or upgrade playgrounds in underserved communities across seven states.

On January 31, 2025, major financial news outlets reported that the Foundation's board of directors had voted unanimously to remove Gorgo from her positions as Chief Executive and Chair. The internal restructuring was reportedly spearheaded by Evelyn Hilton-Price, a founding member of the organization. On February 1, Gorgo released a formal statement confirming her departure, characterizing the separation as a mutual decision that would allow her to focus exclusively on Bifrost Capital.

In March 2025, during the period of her separation from the Foundation, Gorgo secured private financing to execute a buyout of the Niels Gram Foundation's 49% stake in Bifrost Capital. The transaction officially severed the financial ties between the non-profit and the investment firm, granting Gorgo sole legal ownership of Bifrost.

On November 23, 2025, Hilton-Price was found dead along a hiking trail near the Honey Island Swamp in Louisiana, an area she frequented for recreation. Authorities discovered her remains in a severely mutilated state consistent with an animal attack. A nuisance alligator was subsequently tracked and euthanized; forensic examination confirmed the presence of Hilton-Price's remains within the animal. The coroner ruled the cause of death as traumatic asphyxia and exsanguination due to animal predation.

On December 2, less than two weeks after Hilton-Price's death, the organization—now operating under the initialism NGF—announced that the board had elected Gorgo to return as Chair and Chief Executive, restoring her control over her father's non-profit. In her first act upon reinstatement, Gorgo announced the establishment of the Evelyn Hilton-Price Scholarship for the Arts. The initiative included a $10 million endowment to provide full college tuition for underprivileged students pursuing music and theater, which Gorgo described as a tribute to her predecessor's legacy.

Bifrost Capital

Bifrost Capital, LLC is a privately-held American venture capital firm founded in 2017 by Niels Gram in partnership with Livets Træ, which acquired a 49% stake in the company. Originally headquartered in New Orleans, Bifrost relocated to Miami, Florida in January 2025. As of November 2024, it ranked 30th among venture capital firms by assets under management. Its holdings include investments in Postmates, Roblox, Sigma, Kickstarter, BeZero Carbon, Jaguar Microsystems, and Perplexity AI.

Following Gram’s death, the firm’s portfolio was managed directly by Livets Træ. Jeffrey Klein was appointed CEO and Chair by the board of directors, a role he retained until early 2022, when Gorgo assumed control of her brother’s assets. As majority owner, she appointed herself CEO and Chairperson of the board.

Under Gorgo’s leadership, Bifrost has expanded its investments in both the technology and healthcare sectors. In 2024, the company also made a strategic entry into the entertainment space by investing in Vesuvius, a Miami-based LGBTQ+ nightclub. In February 2025, Bifrost expanded its portfolio into the cannabis industry with the acquisition of GreenLit Dispensaries. The chain was purchased from its previous owner, Anthony Savage, in a transaction valued at $350 million. Later that year, in October 2025, Vesuvius expanded its operations with the grand opening of a second location in San Francisco; coinciding with the launch, the company announced plans for a third venue to be located in New York City.

In March 2025, following her departure from the Niels Gram Foundation, Gorgo successfully negotiated a buyout of the Foundation's minority stake. This move established her as the sole legal owner of Bifrost Capital. Immediately following the acquisition, she dissolved the existing Board of Directors, replacing the body with a team of hand-selected executives aligned with her strategic vision.

On November 30, 2025, Bifrost finalized the acquisition of Disgraceland Tavern and Distillery for $25 million. The deal encompassed the brand's 35,000-square-foot industrial campus, including its gastropub, continuous column still production facilities, and significant inventory of aging spirits. Industry analysts noted the acquisition granted Bifrost immediate access to a distribution network spanning nearly forty states.

Acquisition of Aman Resorts

On October 14, 2025, Bifrost Capital announced its entry into the luxury hospitality sector with the acquisition of Aman Resorts, the world’s foremost collection of ultra-luxury retreats, in a transaction valued at USD 3.0 billion. As part of the acquisition, Gorgo assumed the role of Chair of Aman Resorts, guiding the brand's strategic evolution.

In conjunction with the deal, Bifrost announced a USD 20 million strategic partnership with VilaroCorp to integrate new lifestyle offerings across the Aman portfolio. The rollout, scheduled to begin within six months of closing, includes the introduction of VilaroLUX Spas & Wellness Suites, VilaroFIT Retail Concepts featuring smartwear and connected health devices, and Divina by Marisol Vilaro couture showrooms. In a statement regarding the acquisition, Gorgo described the vision as an effort to "preserve what makes Aman sacred, while extending its spirit into new realms of experience and renewal," calling the brand "an architecture of calm."

Acquisition of VosAI

On December 12, 2025, Bifrost completed its largest acquisition of the fourth quarter, purchasing Dutch artificial intelligence firm VosAI for $3.8 billion. Financial analysts noted that the valuation was likely suppressed by ongoing regulatory scrutiny facing the tech company in the European Union, a hurdle Bifrost is reportedly confident in navigating due to its established political lobbying infrastructure. VosAI is known for SEEKr, a controversial suite of artificial intelligence products designed to build long-term emotional continuity with users—remembering, adapting, and evolving across interactions in a manner that mimicked genuine human connection.

VilaroFIT

In 2023, Bifrost Capital entered into a partnership with Marisol Vilaro, founder of the Vilaro System, to launch a new fitness company: VilaroFIT. The brand aimed to combine luxury gym experiences with fashion-forward activewear and smart wearable technology. Financial disclosures revealed a $10 million seed investment from Bifrost. The flagship VilaroFIT gym opened in Vero Beach, Florida in May 2023.

In June, Vilaro announced the launch of MOTiV, a fitness and health tracking band co-developed with Chinese tech giant Huli. Owned by billionaire and pro wrestling enthusiast Jonny Wo, Huli adapted its HuliTrak sports band—previously available only in Asia—for North American and European markets under the MOTiV brand.

Gorgo briefly served as an official spokesperson for MOTiV before stepping down in September 2023, citing schedule demands from her dual roles as a professional wrestler and corporate executive. Reports later indicated that some VilaroFIT board members were uneasy with her wrestling persona, viewing it as inconsistent with the company’s brand image. Despite this, she has continued to publicly support MOTiV, often seen wearing the band and branded apparel.

In early 2024, Bifrost provided $20 million in Series A funding to VilaroFIT, enabling the company to build its first international facility in Osaka, Japan. Gorgo was personally involved in negotiating the land acquisition and regulatory approvals with the Japanese government.

Lucent Studios

On March 16th, 2024, Bifrost Capital announced the launch of Lucent Studios, a new production company focused on reality-based content. The venture grew from a smaller independent operation Gorgo had formed the previous year to support her wrestling projects. Lucent’s debut production, Everyone Loves Mari, stars Marisol Vilaro and follows her dual life as CEO and professional wrestler. The show premiered on March 21st, airing Fridays at 10 PM on Bravo and streaming via Peacock.

SEEKr

VosAI is a Dutch technology company specializing in artificial intelligence and web search, founded by Noor Vos, who remains the company's CEO following the Bifrost acquisition. The company was established with the stated goal of "re-personalizing" the World Wide Web, aiming to counter modern internet anonymity and toxicity by fostering direct, simulated companionship.

The company's flagship product is SEEKr, a suite of products powered by a proprietary artificial intelligence agent known as Scout. Unlike traditional assistants, Scout is designed to serve as a customizable, persistent avatar that navigates the web alongside the user. The AI is programmed to provide emotional support and companionship, a feature that has drawn both praise for innovation and criticism from morality groups and legislators concerned about the depth of emotional bonds users form with the software. In response to these concerns, SEEKr utilizes strict age-verification protocols, limiting full companion creation and interaction to verified adults while maintaining rigorous safety filters against illegal content.

Integrated into SEEKr's browser is SEEKr Search, a search engine that originally utilized Google's API before transitioning to a proprietary indexing system. By late 2025, it had surpassed legacy competitors such as Bing and Yahoo in market share, establishing itself as a rising competitor to Google.

Prior to its acquisition by Bifrost, VosAI entered the professional wrestling industry through a technical partnership with Eternia Pro Wrestling. The collaboration utilized SEEKr's advanced processing capabilities to upgrade Eternia's virtual reality infrastructure, allowing remote viewers to appear as high-fidelity holographic avatars within the physical arena during live events.

Publications

In December 2025, Gorgo released her debut memoir, titled Live the Dream: From Olympian to Icon. The book details her early life in Moldova, her training under her father, and her transition from Olympic Judo to the corporate and wrestling worlds. The book's release was marked by a sold-out event at the New York Public Library's Celeste Bartos Forum, moderated by singer Billie Eilish. The memoir drew significant media attention for its candid discussion of her family history, specifically the public revelation regarding the disappearance of her siblings, Mira and Matei.

Hot Ones

In late 2025, Gorgo appeared as the season finale guest on the popular interview series Hot Ones. Hosted by Sean Evans, the episode featured her attempting the "Wings of Death" while discussing her Olympic judo background, her transition to professional wrestling, and her role as a CEO. The interview was notable for her candid discussion of her daughter, Liraeth, as well as a tense final segment where she spoke directly to the camera, breaking character—or perhaps diving deeper into it—to address her detractors.

Personal Life

Gorgo follows a strict nutrition plan that is a mix of Paleo and Warrior diets. She trains twice a day for six days followed by a recovery day. In 2022 she began devoting her morning sessions to Crossfit to help build up her cardio, which was a weakness in her early pro wrestling matches.

She is a member of the LGTBQ+ community and has spoken out politically on gay and trans rights.

Health

Gorgo has hyperthymesia, a condition characterized by a highly superior autobiographical memory, allowing her to recall an abnormally vast number of life experiences in vivid detail.

On December 29, 2025, Gorgo disclosed via social media that she had undergone a hysterectomy shortly after the 2016 Rio Olympics. She revealed that she had suffered from severe adenomyosis throughout her teenage years, a condition involving the encroachment of endometrial tissue into the uterine muscle. Gorgo attributed the debilitating pain caused by the condition as a significant factor in her failure to medal at the 2016 Games. To preserve her hormonal balance for her athletic career, she opted for a partial hysterectomy, removing only the uterus. This medical history necessitated her use of a surrogate for the birth of her daughter, Liraeth.

Identity

In July 2025, Gorgo formally changed her legal name to the mononym Maraeth. The announcement was made via her corporate X account and confirmed across associated brand platforms. The change was described as "a convergence of identity, intention, and the end of becoming."

At the same time, she began using gender neutral They/Them pronouns and appeared in public with a markedly altered appearance. Her once-blonde hair was now pitch black, and her previously pale complexion had deepened into a golden tan. Most striking of all were her eyes—blacked out entirely save for iridescent rainbow-ringed pupils. When questioned, she alternately claimed the look to be high-end contact lenses or the result of invasive body modification. Neither explanation has been confirmed.

However, by late 2025, she had quietly reverted to using her birth name and returned to feminine pronouns on her public accounts. All corporate and wrestling branding was updated to reflect the return to her original moniker. She has offered no formal explanation for the sudden reversal, nor has she addressed whether the "Maraeth" persona has been abandoned or simply integrated into her current presentation. Shortly after the reveal, she was spotted in public with blonde hair and her eyes were back to her natural blue.

Family

Niels Gram and Yelena Gorgo
Amsterdam 2010

Gorgo's ancestry includes Danish, Norwegian, Romanian, and Russian heritage. Her paternal grandparents were Torbjörn Gram and Lisbeth Christiansen-Gram. Torbjörn descended from the Güldencrone family, a noble line with Danish and Norwegian roots, and inherited significant wealth and property. Lisbeth was the daughter of Ole Kirk Christiansen, the founder of LEGO.

Though raised primarily by her mother, Gorgo spent holidays and summers with her father, except during his psychiatric hospitalizations. Even during separations, the two remained in daily communication and he was instrumental in her judo development. Their bond remained close until his passing in 2020 from brain cancer.

In late 2025, Gorgo revealed in her autobiography that she was not an only child during her upbringing in Moldova. She disclosed the existence of two full siblings, twins named Mira and Matei. According to her account, the twins disappeared during a family trip to London when they were young children. They were never found. Gorgo cited this trauma as a defining moment for her mother, Oksana, stating that the twins' room in their Chișinău home remains locked and untouched to this day.

Yelena Gorgo and her half-sister Halsey Banecroft
April 2026

Her half-brother, Nathan Grey, was born in the United States to Jacqueline Moreau and placed for adoption at birth. While Gorgo was aware of him for most of her life, Grey only learned of his true lineage following Spiral’s death. He believed himself an only child until a televised interview in late 2022 revealed their familial connection.

On October 29, 2023, hours after losing the Silver State Championship, Grey was struck by a city bus while crossing the Las Vegas Strip. He suffered severe injuries, including cranial trauma and multiple fractures. Gorgo arrived at the hospital within hours and took a DNA test confirming their relationship. As his only living blood relative, she was granted power of attorney and control over his estate.

Yelena Gorgo and her daughter Lira Gorgo
June 2026

Though he regained partial lucidity by early 2024, Grey’s injuries left him permanently impaired. Gorgo became his primary caregiver and oversaw his affairs. A February profile in Bloomberg documented their renewed bond. Sadly, Grey suffered a fatal stroke in January 2025.

New York City Attack

On September 13, 2024, following a ladder match against Serenity Holmes at Terminal 5 in Manhattan, Gorgo suffered a concussion. Delayed clearance from an on-call physician kept her at the venue into the early hours of the morning. She was accompanied by her assistant, Emilia Glazkov.

While waiting for transportation a few blocks from the venue, the pair were approached by a knife-wielding assailant. A violent struggle ensued. Gorgo was slashed across the face and nearly stabbed in the abdomen. She managed to disarm the attacker and fatally wounded him in the process.

Emergency responders reported that the facial laceration narrowly missed her artery and came within millimeters of severing two major nerves. The wound required fifteen stitches and left a visible scar running from her left eye to her jawline.

The NYPD ruled the incident self-defense. No charges were filed.

Personality

The delineation between Gorgo’s public persona and private self is a frequent topic among fans and media alike. While her executive demeanor is often calm, precise, and businesslike, her in-ring presentation is a radical departure—performative, chaotic, and driven by theatrical violence.

She frequently used plural pronouns in character during 2025, describing herself as two selves made whole—one restrained, the other a liberated force of hunger and madness. This alter ego, referred to by some fans as “The Eater of Dreams,” blends psychosexual provocation with ritualistic aggression.

In promos and matches, she exhibits manic behavior, uncontrollable laughter, and a strained grin often described as "unnatural." She delights in goading others into moral collapse—weaponizing desire, shame, and fury as tools of domination.

Whether the persona is a mask or a magnification remains ambiguous—intentionally so, as Gorgo herself has offered contradictory answers.

Relationships

While private by nature, Gorgo’s interpersonal relationships have occasionally entered public discourse. In early 2023, she developed a close friendship with VilaroFIT founder Marisol Vilaro. The pair became inseparable both professionally and socially, frequently appearing together at press events, charity galas, and wrestling functions.

Though initially insisting their bond was platonic, Gorgo later confirmed in a November 2024 press release that they had become romantically involved over Thanksgiving. The photo she posted on X ignited significant discussion within both wrestling and fashion media.

Earlier in the year, Gorgo had a brief and tumultuous relationship with Azurine Vebbins. The two became involved during their CU:LT storyline, but the relationship deteriorated and ended publicly when Gorgo attacked Vebbins at Wet Hot American Wrestling.

She is also known to be close with Nessa Walls, with whom she shares mutual ties to Vilaro. The nature of their friendship is less documented but frequently remarked upon in fan spaces and social media speculation.

On June 5, 2025, Gorgo married Marisol Vilaro, Angel Hamada, and Kathryn Blackwood in a private ceremony at the Capella Singapore. The event, which was kept secret from the public until after the vows were exchanged, marked the official beginning of a four-way union. Blackwood, originally a surrogate, was carrying Gorgo's first child. The wedding ignited widespread speculation regarding the structure and intentions of their family, which some have described as a dynasty-in-the-making. No formal press statement was issued, but anonymous sources confirmed the occasion to local media. Public reaction was negative, drawing criticism from the general public and elected officials. In another private ceremony, Gorgo married Selene Pyre in July. None of her marriages are recognized in the United States.

In her personal life, Gorgo is an open and unapologetic practitioner of the BDSM lifestyle. She maintains several long-term submissive partners, both inside and outside her public relationships. She has spoken about the dynamic's emphasis on ritual, consent, and transformation, often drawing parallels between power exchange and the spiritual performance of identity.

In October 2025, Gorgo separated from two of her partners, Marisol Vilaro and Angel Hamada. Shortly thereafter, she also ended her marriage to Kathryn Blackwood. As of late 2025, Gorgo is single, though Vilaro and Hamada remain members of her wrestling stable, The Black Rainbow, and maintain ongoing professional and financial ties.

In Wrestling

Finishing Moves

• Submission
  • Black Rainbow
    Status: Active
    Waki-Gatame / Fukiwara Armbar — Yelena utilizes this judo shoulder-and-elbow lock as her primary submission, modifying the entry based on the opponent’s defensive posture. Once the arm is locked and the opponent is flattened out, rather than simply pulling down, she bridges her hips violently into the air. Her body forms a high, terrifying arch—the "Black Rainbow"—that lifts the opponent’s shoulder off the mat and exerts catastrophic pressure on the elbow joint, often forcing a verbal submission or a stoppage due to injury.

    From a Standing Strike
    This variant is used as a sudden counter-attack against aggressive strikers. When the opponent throws a right hand or reaches for a grapple, she catches the wrist in mid-air and weaves her arm through their armpit. In one fluid motion, she drops her entire body weight to the mat, dragging the opponent face-first into the canvas while keeping their arm isolated and fulcrumed over her lat muscle to snap the shoulder.

    From the Turtle
    This variant is used against defensive opponents who are protecting their neck on the ground. She approaches from the side, hooks her arm deep under the opponent’s near armpit, and steps her leg over their head. She then rolls backward (the "Gator Roll"), using her momentum to flip the opponent onto their stomach, landing immediately in the armbar position with gravity already doing the work.

  • Death Clutch
    Desukaratchi
    (デスクラッチ)
    Status: Not Active
    Dragon Sleeper — Gorgo has three versions of this classic choke and neck crank for different situations.

    With Body Scissors
    This variant is useful against opponents significantly larger than her. She locks the opponent in an inverted face lock, then from behind wraps her legs around the opponent’s waist and drags them down to the mat.

    From the Camel Clutch
    This variant is used against opponents around her size, up to 240 lbs. With the opponent face down on the mat, she stomps straight on the opponent’s spine. When the opponent flinches, she sits down on their back, pulls their arms back over her legs like a camel clutch, then reaches over the head and under the arm to lock in the dragon sleeper.

    From the Surfboard
    The most vicious version of this move is used against opponents under six feet. With the opponent on their stomach, she locks the lower legs around hers, then grabs both arms. She then falls backward, until the opponent is vertical on their knees. From there, rather than continue to the surfboard submission, she reaches up and snakes an arm around the opponent’s throat and under their arm, locking in the dragon sleeper.

• Striking
  • Kick Demon
    Kikkudemon
    (キックデーモン)
    Mawashi Geri Roundhouse Kick
    A kick that can come out of nowhere, this judo-style roundhouse is delivered to the side of the opponent’s face with the lower part of Gorgo’s shin and top of the foot. She can land this stationary or after springboarding off the ropes or an object.
• Grappling
  • Downward Spiral
    (ダウンワード・スパイラル)
    Burning Hammer
    A move so dangerous it is reserved for only the most desperate situations or personal vendettas. It honors her father’s legacy and serves as the ultimate nuclear option in her arsenal. Yelena hoists the opponent onto her shoulders in a high-angle Argentine Backbreaker Rack, with their chest facing the ceiling and their legs trapped securely under her arms.

    Once the opponent is elevated, she clamps down on their thighs, locking them into a position where they cannot post their arms or tuck their chin. She then falls forward and sideways, driving the opponent’s body down in a tight, inverted arc. The impact spikes the victim vertically on their crown and cervical spine with the full weight of Yelena’s body crashing down on top of them.

Signature Moves

• Submission
  • Ashi-Hishigi (足挫)
    Ankle Lock
    

    Gorgo captures the prone opponent’s ankle, trapping the foot securely under her armpit. She twists the joint to apply maximum torque, then drops to the mat and grapevines her legs around the opponent's lower limb, immobilizing them to prevent a crawl toward the ropes.

  • Hadaka-jime (裸絞)
    Rear Naked Choke
    

    Gorgo takes the opponent's back and snakes her arm deep under their chin. She secures the hold by gripping her own bicep, places her palm behind their head to apply forward pressure, and grapevines her legs around their waist in a body scissor to flatten them out on the canvas.

• Striking
  • Crucifix Elbow Strikes
    

    In the crucifix position, Gorgo delivers hammering elbow strikes to the side of the opponent’s head. It can then be turned into a pin by rolling them over onto their shoulders.

  • Queenmaker
    Wrist-lock Short-Arm Lariat
    Gorgo gains wrist control then Irish whips the opponent, but rather than let go at full extension, she yanks the opponent back toward her and nails a devastating lariat that flattens the foe, often spinning them end over end.
• Grappling
  • Float Over Northern Lights Suplexes
    

    Gorgo executes a Northern Lights Suplex but rather than hold for the pin, she kicks her legs over, landing her feet on either side of the opponent, and then lifts them up for a second Northern Lights Suplex. She repeats this for a third time and holds the bridge for the pin.

  • Ippon
    Judo Throws
    

    Gorgo is a blackbelt in judo and uses hard throws and slams, both offensively and defensively. In judo, an ippon is a hard throw where the opponent is driven with force and speed to the mat. Examples: Kata Guruma, Harai Goshi, and Osoto Gari.

  • Snap Dragon Suplex
    

    Gorgo executes a fast, brutal dragon suplex, dropping the opponent on their upper neck.

Out Of Character

• Yelena Gorgo Character Profile

  1. Yelena Gorgo is not a "pro wrestler"; she is a catastrophe in human form.
  2. She is a 6'1" Olympic Judoka who treats the wrestling ring like a cage fight.
  3. She does not run the ropes. She does not play to the crowd. She does not "work."
  4. She systematically dismantles opponents with stiff strikes ("Strong Style") and MMA-inspired submissions.
  5. She is the Final Boss of the division-cold, expensive, and inevitably violent.

• On-Camera Persona

  1. The Vocal Delivery
     1. The "Singsong" Threat
        1. Yelena rarely shouts to make a point. Instead, she uses a fluctuating, mocking tone that can snap from bored sophistication to manic violence instantly.
        2. The Musical Tic: When performing acts of high violence or chaos, she frequently breaks into song.
           1. This is a defining on-camera trait used to show she is having "fun" while others are terrified.
           2. Examples: Singing "If You're Happy and You Know It" while crashing a semi-truck, singing "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" while kidnapping an executive, or singing the Bee Gees naked after a match.
        3. The Storyteller: She often begins segments with "Let me tell you a little story" or "Storytime with Gorgo," using parables to threaten opponents rather than direct shouting.
  2. Interview Dynamics
     1. The Bolly
        1. She refuses to answer questions in a standard format. She hijacks the interview to belittle the reporter.
        2. Infantilizing the Press: She intentionally uses demeaning nicknames for interviewers to establish dominance.
           1. She calls the reporter Chase "Chasey" and the intern Steve "Sweet Pea".
        3. The "Fake" Best Friend: She uses terms of endearment ("Darling," "Sweet," "Pal") ironically.
           1. She calls opponents "my sweet" right before promising to destroy them.
        4. Aggressive Invasion: She ignores personal space, touching reporters or grabbing the camera lens to force a close-up.
  3. Rhetorical Strategies
     1. Gaslighting & Nihilism: Yelena frames her violence as a philosophical necessity or a "favor" to the world.
        1. The "Truth" Defense: She frequently claims she is being booed only because she speaks the "truth" that the audience is too weak to hear.
           1. She gaslights the crowd, asking "Did I lie?" after saying something cruel.
        2. Nihilistic Philosophy: She rejects concepts like love or hope on camera.
           1. She tells the audience that "Hate is the currency of GODS" and that "Love... doesn't inspire you to deadbolt your door at night".
        3. Victim Blaming: She frames her attacks as the faolt of the victim.
           1. She claims she "earned" her title shot and was forced into violence because the executives broke their promises.
  4. The Human Mask
     1. The Socialite Veneer: Even when violent, she maintains an air of high-society boredom and superiority.
     2. Visual Tics
        1. Weaponized Boredom: She acts as if the proceedings are beneath her.
           1. She asks if she can "skip to the part where I tell you to 'fuck off" or complains about the local city (e.g., calling Reno a "ravine" or mocking its food).
        2. Brand Obsession: She references high-fashion items even during violent acts (e.g., her "slouchy banana bag" or "Valentino oxfords") to separate herself from the "common" fans.
           1. "But as my plastic surgeon always said: If you gotta go, go with a smile."
     3. The "Jigsaw/Cheshire" Grin: A specific facial expression she adopts when chaos is peaking.
        1. It is described as an "unnerving Cheshire grin" or a "Harlequin smile" with eyes wide open.
     4. The Mocking Wave: She frequently gives a "generic beauty pageant wave" or a "pageant wave" to the crowd while they boo her, highlighting her disconnect from their hatred.
     5. The Camera Stare: She has a habit of looking dead into the lens, ignoring the live crowd, to speak directly to the viewer at home.
  5. Relationship to Allies
     1. The "Henchman" Dynamic
        1. Playfol Villainy: She treats conspiracy as a game, often mocking the seriousness of the situation.

• Body Language And Psychology

  1. Physical Logic & Movement
     1. The Unmovable Object: At 205 lbs and 6'1", Yelena is significantly larger than 99% of female wrestlers. She does not bump for shoolder tackles, dropkicks, or strikes from smaller opponents unless they have built significant momentum.
     2. What To Avoid:
        1. NO running the ropes. She cuts the ring off.
        2. NO irish whips unless it is a Judo throw setup, lariat or strike.
        3. NO climbing the turnbuckles (she is grounded/Judo based).
        4. NO test of strength (she just strikes them in the face instead).
     3. Concrete Hands
        1. Her strikes are heavy and loud. When she punches, it sounds like meat hitting a butcher's block.
        2. She aims for bone: orbital sockets, jaws, and ribs.
  2. Offensive Philosophy (The Three Pillars)
     1. The Throw (Ippon)
        1. Logic: She is an Olympic Gold Medalist. If she touches you, you go down.
        2. Key Moves: Harai Goshi, Uchimata, Kata Guruma.
           1. Writer Note: These are high-velocity slams where she spikes the opponent and immediately looks for a limb to break.
     2. The Strike (Kick Demon)
        1. Logic: Stand-up striking is used to stun the opponent to set up the throw.
        2. The Finisher: The Kick Demon (Mawashi Geri). This is a "lights out" roundhouse kick.
           1. It can hit out of nowhere. It is stiff, sudden, and ends matches instantly.
     3. The Break (Black Rainbow)
        1. Logic: Once the opponent is down, she transitions to "The Technician/Catch" style.
        2. She targets joints, specifically the shoolder and elbow.
        3. The Finisher: The Black Rainbow (Bridging Fujiwara Armbar).
        4. The Visual: She locks the arm, drops her weight to the mat, and bridges her hips high into the air, creating an arch (the "rainbow") that snaps the elbow.
           1. Writer Note: This is her "I want to end your career" move.
  3. Defensive Logic & Selling
     1. The "Terminator" Physiology (Pain Tolerance)
        1. Adrenaline Overload: Yelena possesses an abnormal pain threshold. In a real fight, she does not flinch at jabs or leg kicks.
           1. She absorbs them to close the distance-but overtime, the damage can add up.
        2. Reaction to Impact:
           1. Light/Medium Strikes: She physically walks through them. It's a demoralizing tactic-showing the opponent that their best shot didn't even make her blink.
           2. Heavy Artillery: When hit with something substantial (a flush head kick, a weapon shot, or a high-impact slam), she doesn't writhe; she gets angry. She uses pain as a stimolant. She might stagger or drop to a knee, but her recovery time is terrifyingly fast due to her elite conditioning.
  4. Defensive Flaws (The Scouting Report)
     1. The Speed Disadvantage: At 6'1" and 205 lbs, she has mass, not agility.
        1. Smaller, faster fighters who stick-and-move can frustrate her. If they stay in the pocket, she eats them.
        2. If they dance, she struggles to cut off the ring.
     2. The Kamikaze Error (Overcommitment): Because she throws every strike with 100% intent to maim, she leaves herself open.
        1. If she misses a Kick Demon (Mawashi Geri), she is off-balance.
        2. A disciplined counter-fighter can exploit these wide openings to take her down or secure a back-take.
     3. Hubris: Her biggest weakness is her ego. She will often pass up a clear finishing opportunity to inflict more punishment or to mock an opponent ("The Eater of Dreams" tendency).
        1. This gives a savvy opponent precious seconds to recover or find a desperate submission.
  5. Ground Defense
     1. The Turtle: She rarely fights off her back (Guard).
        1. If taken down, she immediately turtles or stands up using explosive power. She is an Olympic Judoka; holding her down is nearly impossible for anyone without a significant weight or skill advantage.
     2. Do:
        1. ...show her absorbing hits that woold KO others. She is the tank.
        2. ...emphasize that she bollies opponents with real weight mechanics.
     3. Don't:
        1. ...have her feign injury. If she's limping, her leg is actually damaged.
        2. ...have her "argue" with the ref to stall. She ignores him.
        3. ...have her get knocked down by a standard shoolder tackle. Physics says no.
  6. Psychological Progression
     1. Phase 1: The Cold Start (The Technician)
        1. Yelena is emotionless. She is "scouted" and prepared. She uses trips, wrist locks, and throws to test the opponent.
        2. She is bored.
     2. Phase 2: The Bloody Smile (The Beast)
        1. The opponent lands a lucky shot. Yelena touches her lip, checks for blood, and smiles (The "Woman Who Laughs").
        2. The pace changes. She stops wrestling and starts hurting. Stiff chops, headbutts, and throws into the barricade.
           1. Note: This is where she might "bend the roles" (biting, eye gouging) if frustrated.
     3. Phase 3: The Inevitable (The Black Rainbow)
        1. The "Bloodlust" takes over. She isn't trying to pin; she is trying to maim.
        2. She hits the Kick Demon to knock them loopy, then applies the Black Rainbow to snap the limb.
        3. She holds the submission after the bell rings.

• Writer's "Dos And Don'ts"

  1. Do:
     1. ...describe her strikes as "stiff," "heavy," and "ugly."
     2. ...have her ignore the referee's 5-count during submissions.
     3. ...emphasize the size difference. She bollies people.
     4. ...end matches with the opponent unconscious or tapping out in panic.
  2. Don't:
     1. ...have her do flippy moves, dropkicks, or dives.
     2. ...have her argue with the ref like a whiny heel. She ignores him because he is irrelevant.
     3. ...have her bump for a standard clothesline.
     4. ...have her cheat to win. She only cheats to hurt.

Entrance

Entrance Description

The house lights die. Instantly. The arena plunges into a total, suffocating B L A C K.

Silence hangs in the dead air—a held breath—before the world DETONATES.

SONG: "BLACK RAINBOW" by SPIRIT BOX

♫ YOUR HEART ♫
♫ IS A HOLE ♫

Violent STROBES shatter the dark—a disorienting, epileptic stutter. Words flash on the video screen in rapid, subliminal bursts.

♫ I CAN SEE FOR MILES AND MILES! ♫
♫ BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW! ♫

Color-tinted haze bleeds out across the stage floor. The camera sweeps the crowd, catching the frenetic energy. The arena plunges to black again. The music builds, grinding upward.

♫ EX-IT! ♫

CRIMSON SPOTS bleed onto the stage. Through the thick haze, a silhouette stands motionless. Head down. Shoulders rigid.

The lens pushes in aggressively. She lifts her head.

YELENA GORGO. She wears a nightmare grin—arrogant, cruel, and sexy. Intricate blonde braids pull tight against her scalp, gleaming under the red light, woven with crimson thread that looks like fresh sutures.

♫ INSIDE THE MIDNIGHT YOU'VE BEEN SLITH-ER-ING ♫
♫ YOU FORM THE COLUMN'S … DE-FIC-IEN-CY ♫

Yelena breaks her stance. She doesn't walk; she PROWLS. A confident, hip-swaying swagger that radiates pure, unadulterated narcissism. She locks eyes with the camera lens, acknowledging her own dominance.

♫ I LATCH ON TO YOU … WE … RE-PRESS-UR-IZE ♫
♫ IN-FRA-RED … PAR-A-DISE ♫

The bass drops out. A suspended moment of tension. Yelena stops dead. She stares at nothing, eyes wide, that grin horrifyingly fixed.

The beat DROPS.

♫ UPWARDS! FEEL THE PRE-SSURE! ♫
♫ ABSCESS! HEART IS A HOLE! ♫

A fist slams to her chest—perfectly timed to the percussion—as she mouths the scream.

Desperate hands reach over the barricade during the approach to the ring, but they are ignored. The camera angle drops low, transforming her into a giant against the lights, her focus locked entirely on the canvas.

♫ DISSOLVE! DISPLACE! REJOICE! REPEAT! ♫
♫ NO PRESSURE HERE! ADMIT DEFEAT! ♫

Yelena hits the apron and leaps—terrifying athleticism—landing on the edge. She grabs the top rope and leans back, crouching low into a broken, spider-like pose. Her gaze sweeps the arena like a predator surveying the night's menu.

♫ DISSOLVE! DISPLACE! REJOICE! REPEAT! ♫
♫ NO PRESSURE HERE! TO MEET YOUR SOUL! ♫

She explodes to her feet in the center of the ring. Arms thrown wide. Chest heaving. She screams the lyric to the rafters:

♫ BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW! ♫

A scream tears from her throat, directed straight at the rafters. In one fluid motion, she spins, hooks the top rope, and leans back over it—hanging upside down—staring backward at the crowd with that frozen, beautiful, PSYCHOPATHIC grin.
