Lauryn’s like one of those thick af IG fitness models without the need for a filter. Everything about her is big from her booty to her mouth to her opinion of herself.
Biography & Background
Lauryn Rage is the youngest of the Rage family. She broke into the business at 16, tagging with Marissa Monet. They won a few championships together. She was trained by her oldest sister, Dalbello Rage, to be the amalgam of all the Rage's strengths. “Da Kid” was supposed to be the best of them, but by the time she came of age women’s wrestling was no longer as big as it once was. Lauryn drifted in and out of the business over the years having a few notable runs in IEWA and then years later in ACE, After that she worked for her big sister, Mantha, in Age of Rage wrestling before she got the call up to the AWA. Lauryn debuted with an Instagram gimmick, flashy moves and flashy hair and outfits. A natural loudmouth (she is the last of nine children), Lauryn proved to be talented on the mic and in the ring, stirring up trouble in the women’s division, especially with Melissa Cannon. The two had a long feud. Lauryn made history, winning the first AWA Women’s World championship in Madison Square Gardens. She held onto that championship, withstanding challenges from Victoria June, Melissa Cannon and Ayako Fujiwara. She even retained her championship against all odds at SuperClash VIII with the help of Kurayami. But Kurayami turned on her and injured her ACL during a match. That put her out of action for nine months.
After the events leading to her knee injury and the loss of her AWA Women’s World championship, Da Kid had to reassess her career. She went back to rehab and back to Age of Rage wrestling where she worked with Dalbello again to develop her style and adapt to the new limits of her body. She took training more seriously, taking wrestling more seriously and taking the bottom line more serious. She changed her style to continue in the business. It was time to grow up. Time to lose the childishness. Time to get revenge on the people that she believed screwed her.

The spotlight hits the entrance way as Lauryn Rage steps out on the stage. She wears a hooded black leather studded biker’s vest. She pauses for a moment, head down, arms crossed over her groin before she throws the hood back and throws her arms out to the crow and does her turntable twirl. As Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA” pumps through the arena, Lauryn strides towards the ring, face intense. She steps up onto the ring, wiping her feet on the apron before she ducks through the middle and top rope. She climbs the turnbuckles, throwing both fists in the air and jawing with the crowd. She continues this routine at all three remaining turnbuckles before she steps down, shedding her vest to reveal her bald head and ring gear underneath. She wears a cheeky-cut black spandex long-sleeved unitard with gold and fuchsia patterns stitched throughout it and a fuchsia leather fingerless glove on her right hand. She completes her ring attire with black knee brace, black kneepads and short black boots. The youngest Rage looks as rough and tough, spoiling for a fight.]
