Zaria: A Brief Biography
Zaria is an accomplished Australian wrestler who is signed to WWE's NXT brand as of October 2024. Prior to joining WWE, she was a prominent figure in Australia's independent wrestling scene, particularly with Riot City Wrestling (RCW) and Melbourne City Wrestling (MCW). Notably, she holds the distinction of being the final holder of both the RCW Championship and RCW Women's Championship. In the independent circuit, she wrestled under the name Delta, which was changed to Zaria upon her WWE debut.
Zaria Professional Wrestling Career
Independent circuit (2019-2024)
In 2019, Zaria, then known as Delta, successfully passed her tryout with Riot City Wrestling (RCW), marking the start of her professional career. She made her debut in a tag team match alongside her real-life older brother, Dean Brady, against Cayden Cornell and Savannah Summers, securing a victory. Delta soon transitioned to singles competition, where she earned her first win against Savannah Summers. She eventually made several efforts to capture the RCW Women's Championship but ultimately fell short in her pursuit.
On June 6, 2021, Delta competed in her first match for the promotion Wrestle Rampage (WR) against Lily Blaze but was defeated. Shortly after, she made her debut at Melbourne City Wrestling (MCW), unsuccessfully challenging Kellyanne for the MCW Women's Championship. However, on October 2, 2021, Delta captured her first-ever title by winning the Australian Women's Championship in a match against Savannah Summers.
During this period, Delta competed in a singles match against her older brother, Dean Brady, with Dean emerging victorious as per Cage Match. The two later joined forces as a tag team, initially known as The Bradys, before rebranding as Brady LTD. Together, they captured the RCW Tag Team Championship on June 25, 2022. However, Delta's reign as Australian Women's Champion came to an end on September 30, 2022, when she lost the title to Stella Nyx after holding it for an impressive 363 days.
Apart from these titles, Delta has also built her legacy in Australian wrestling by capturing several other prestigious championships, including the FWA Tag Team Championship, MCW Intercommonwealth Championship, and RCW Women's Championship. She also made history as the inaugural RCW Grand Champion and became the first woman to win the RCW Championship as per Cage Match. Upon participating in WWE tryouts during the Elimination Chamber in February 2024 and challenging Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts Championship in April 2024, Delta wrestled her final Australian match at RCW's Heavy Is The Crown on July 6, 2024, losing to her brother, Dean Brady, before heading to compete in America.

She made her debut on that date and attacked Fallon Henley and her Fatal Influence stablemates, and later made her NXT debut that week where she defeated Brinley Reece.
