Professional wrestling career
editIndependent circuit (2013-present)
editBradstone started wrestling in 2013 for Portuguese promotion CTWrestling.[4] In 2015 Bradstone made her debut in the UK, wrestling for TNT Extreme Wrestling. Bradstone would later become part of the roster of the West Midlands based promotion Pro Wrestling Live.
While wrestling back and fourth between Portugal and England, Bradstone made her debut for Coventry Pro Wrestling, becoming the number one contender for the CPW's Lineal Women's Championship.[5] Bradstone would fail to become the Coventry promotion Lineal Women's Champion.
A heated rivalry between Bradstone and Portuguese wrestler Talia Martins began in 2017. As it progressed, it was explained on the CTW Primetime episodes that this rivalry had many layers to its story, as Talia mentioned that Claudia had a secret yet to reveal.[6] Later it was revealed that animosity between the two wrestlers was due to the fact that they were sisters, and never got along growing up. Claudia and Talia wrestled numerous matches until Talia's departure from the Portuguese promotion.
In the fall of 2018 Bradstone was selected to participate in the first and only Germany WWE Tryout,[7] where over 40 men and women were competing for a chance to work with the American company. This event took place in Cologne, Germany where the participants where being trained by former wrestlers Matt Bloom, Robbie Brookside, Sarah Stock and current WWE Superstars Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci.
In 2019 Bradstone had her first chance to wrestle for a Portuguese national championship. Bradstone became the number one contender to the CTW Portugal championship at Incidente Internacional I on December 8, 2018, defeating French wrestler Hellmer Lo Guennec.[8] One year later, at Incidente Internacional II Bradstone faced Leo Rossi for the CTW Portugal Championship, where Rossi retained the title.
In 2022 Bradstone became once again the number one contender for the CTW Portugal Championship, which was at this time vacant. On the other hand, Portuguese wrestler Lobo Iberico became the second number one contender, which led to having both wrestlers compete for the national championship at CTW's Battleground, in a Street fight match. Bradstone became the first female wrestler to win a Portuguese national Championship.[2]
