Professional wrestling career
editDelta credits her older brother, fellow Australian wrestler Dean Brady, with sparking her passion to begin wrestling after watching him at a Riot City Wrestling show.[7] After a successful tryout with RCW in 2019, she made her debut on December 31, 2020, teaming with Dean to defeat Cayden Cornell and Savannah Summers.[1] After this, Delta would focus on singles competition in RCW's Women's division, making many unsuccessful attempts at the RCW Women's Championship. In August, 2021, she would wrestle her first match for Melbourne City Wrestling, unsuccessfully challenging Kellyanne for the MCW Women's Championship.[8]
After wrestling each other for the first time in July 2021, Dean and Delta would form a tag team, initially called The Bradys, they would later change their name to Brady LTD. Together they would win the RCW Tag Team Championship on two separate occasions. Delta would also win the MCW Women's Championship twice, and would become the first woman to hold the MCW Intercommonwealth Championship. She would then become the first woman to hold the RCW Championship.[9] After a Winner Takes All match with RCW Women's Champion, Miki Fortune, the two belts would merge, and Delta would become the first holder of the RCW Grand Championship.[citation needed]
In February 2024, Delta participated in the WWE tryouts held in Perth, Western Australia before Elimination Chamber.[10] On April 12, 2024, Delta challenged Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts Championship at Oceania Pro Wrestling's H.E.R. event.[11] On May 18, 2024, after losing the RCW Grand Championship, Delta announced that she would wrestle her final match in Australia at RCW's Heavy Is The Crown 2024, on July 6 against her brother, Dean Brady, as she would be leaving to wrestle in America following that match.
