Professional wrestling career

Early career, training and Australian wrestling

Tenille was introduced into wrestling by her older brother Jake, when she was about 8 years old.[2] She involved herself in the Australian wrestling scene and did some training from the ages of 13 to 15.[6] In 2005, Tenille made some appearances for the Australian wrestling promotion PWA under the ring name Valentine. However, from the age of 16 to 18, Tenille was limited to merely setting up the ring at events and helping out after she suffered a severe shoulder injury.

In 2007, she moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada for a few months to train with Lance Storm at the Storm Wrestling Academy.

In the fall of 2008, Tenille returned to Australia. She wrestled for several promotions, with one of her most notable appearances being at Nightmare Wrestling, where she teamed up with Christy Hemme, Kellie Skater and Sara Jay to defeat the team of Traci Brooks, Vixsin, Sway and Aurora. In February 2009, Tenille also won PWA Queensland's first-ever "Queen of the Warriors" tournament, after defeating Shazza McKenzie, Jessie McKay and Kellie Skater.[7]

In early 2011, Tenille returned to Lance Storm's Storm Wrestling Academy for further training, during which she became one of the ten trainees featured on the World of Hurt reality television show.[8]

She had her final Australian match on July 9, 2011 at a Melbourne City Wrestling event. After turning heel earlier in the night (by telling the fans she never needed them), she was defeated by Shazza McKenzie in singles action.[9]

Shimmer Women Athletes (2009-2010)

On 2 May 2009 Tenille made her in-ring debut for all-female American promotion Shimmer Women Athletes, at the tapings of Volume 23, losing to Amber O'Neal.[10][11] On Volume 24, she teamed up with rookie Rayna Von Tash to take on Lexie Fyfe and Malia Hosaka in a losing effort.

On Volume 25, Tenille defeated Jetta for her first Shimmer victory. After the match, she was attacked by The International Home Wrecking Crew. On Volume 26, Tenille was defeated by Rain in a singles match.[1] On Volume 27, Tayla was defeated by Malia Hosaka in another singles match.[1] On Volume 28, Tayla teamed up with Jessie McKay in a losing effort to Rain and Jetta.[1]

On Volume 29, Tayla was defeated by Sara Del Rey.[1] On Volume 32, Tenille was defeated by Portia Perez[1]. She followed this with a victory over Athena on Volume 34. In her final Shimmer match, Tenille teamed with Jessie McKay, where they unsuccessfully challenged Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews for the Shimmer Tag Team Championship on Volume 36.[1]

Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling / ECCW (2009-2011)

She made her debut for the Canadian wrestling promotion Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) on May 22, 2009 under her real name. In her debut match, Dashwood defeated Nicole Matthews to earn a shot at the SuperGirls Championship.[12] She challenged the then-champion Veronika Vice, but was unsuccessful. Tenille defeated Veronika Vice and Nicole Matthews in a 3-way match to win her first-ever ECCW Supergirls title on August 1, 2009. Tenille held the championship until November 27, 2009, when she lost it to Veronika Vice.[1]

On January 29, 2010, Tenille defeated Veronika Vice in non-title match, thus earning a title opportunity.[1] On March 19, 2010, Tenille defeated Veronika Vice to re-capture the ECCW Women's Championship.[1] Tenille made several successful title defenses over the next few months, before dropping the title to Nicole Matthews in a Tables Match on October 26, ending her reign at 224 days.[12] In her final match for ECCW, Tayla was defeated by Nicole Matthews on May 7, 2011.[1]

World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE

Florida Championship Wrestling (2011–2012)

In March 2011, Dashwood attended a Florida Championship Wrestling tryout camp and it was reported that WWE had signed her to a developmental contract.[13][14] On 19 July, she announced that she was going to undergo shoulder surgery, which had caused her problems throughout her career.[15]

She finally reported to FCW on July 16, 2012[5] and made her debut at their live event on July 28 in Melbourne, Florida in a Divas Battle Royal that also featured Audrey Marie, Paige, Raquel Diaz and Skyler Moon.[16] At the August 16 FCW live event, Emma teamed up with Paige in a losing effort to Raquel Diaz and Skyler Moon. This would turn out to be Dashwood's final match under the Florida Championship Wrestling banner, as the WWE dropped the Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) name.[16] FCW now serves as the primary television program for NXT Wrestling.

NXT (2012–present)

Emma made her television debut on August 30, 2012, when she appeared with the rest of the NXT roster on the stage to watch Seth Rollins become the first ever NXT Champion.[17] She made her in-ring television debut at the October 11 tapings held at Full Sail University (to air November 29th), where she was defeated by Audrey Marie.[18]
