Kyla Knight, a rising star in the wrestling world, talks to VictoryProWrestling.com about her journey from the beaches of South East Queensland to the ring of Victory Pro Wrestling. At just 26, Kyla is making waves with her unique blend of heritage, intensity, and technical prowess. Here’s what she had to say about her path, her style, and what fans can expect when she steps into the VPW ring this Fall.
Can you tell us a bit about your background?
“Of course! I am a proud 26-year-old Bundjalung woman. Our tribe is located on the South East Queensland coast, ranging from Beenleigh to Grafton in New South Wales and as far inland as Warwick. Both of my parents are of Indigenous descent. Growing up in this rich cultural environment has deeply influenced who I am today.”
How has your heritage influenced your wrestling style?
“My people have a history of being stoic and intense warriors. We’re diplomatic first, but we never back down from a fight. I strive to emulate these traits in my matches. My style is very much about being stoic and intense, and I work as a technical brawler. With my new gear, which features artworks by my cousin, I carry stories of the women of our country into the ring with me.”
What first got you into wrestling?
“I grew up watching wrestling with my older cousins, but it was the WrestleMania XXVI match between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker, the Streak vs. Career match, that really solidified my dream to become a wrestler. I was 12 then, and I knew this was what I wanted to do.”
Did you have any other sports interests growing up?
“Yes, I dabbled in Karate, Muay Thai, and boxing. While they were great for building a strong foundation, none of them ignited my passion quite like wrestling did.”
How did you start your wrestling career?
“In 2016, at 18, I had a chance meeting with Diamond Dallas Page. His support and encouragement were pivotal. Shortly after, I found a local wrestling school and company, which coincidentally was the same one Toni Storm started with. From there, I did everything I could to learn and grow.”
How do you feel about touring internationally for the first time?
“I’m excited and open to touring anywhere. This international tour is a new chapter for me, and I’m thrilled that Victory Pro Wrestling was the first company I connected with. It feels like the start of something special.”
Kyla Knight brings a blend of cultural pride, technical skill, and raw intensity to the ring. As she prepares for her debut at Victory Pro Wrestling, fans can expect to witness a warrior who embodies the spirit of her ancestors while forging her own path in the wrestling world.
