Bio: After spending many years working as a bear trainer in the Russian circus, Zina was discovered by PWA creative director Justin Schenck and signed to a contract for PWA: The Rebirth based on her raw power and ice cold demeanor. Though she lacks conventional wrestling experience, Zina's size, temperament, and overpowering brawling style proved to be too much for the rest of the women’s division to handle in the first season. Just four weeks after her debut, Zina upended Morgan Day to bring the Women's Championship back to Mother Russia. She continued to reign supreme over the division for the remainder of the season, triumphing over Lauren Tantalus and Keiko Ishida in a triangle elimination match at Everlasting Epic VI to retain the gold. Though she lost the championship during season two at the Symphony of Destruction pay-per-view, she won regained the title almost immediately, and after one more quick back-and-forth switch, continued her reign until Everlasting Epic VII, when she was beaten in a TLC match by Morgan Day. Despite the loss, Zina returns for season three with her sights set on accomplishing even more and establishing herself as one of the greatest female competitors in the company’s history.
