From personal training to gymnastics to bell-to-bell competition, Sadie Gibbs is among the most versatile wrestlers in the promotion.
She’s only just begun her professional wrestling career. Gibbs has been able to catch the attention of fans online and around the world.
Through a combination of hard-hitting kicks and fast-paced offense, as well as a dash of intensity.
Prior to her eventual AEW debut, it’s important to look at how this England native began in wrestling, from her earliest days of training to her spike in notoriety in Stardom and beyond.
In 2017, Gibbs began her professional wrestling training at the London School of Lucha Libre, headed by Greg Burridge and Garry Vanderhorne.
Gibbs started working with British Empire Wrestling later in the year. In December, she faced Jetta in a losing effort at BEW Britain’s Rising V. Later that month, she appeared for Pro-Wrestling EVE, which housed LSLL.
She achieved first singles victory in EVE against Chakara. From there, she competed for Preston City Wrestling, working with Jayla Dark. With these matches under her belt for 2017, Gibbs’ wrestling career was underway.

In April of 2018, Gibbs entered a tournament to determine the number one contender for the IPW: UK Women’s Championship. She would end up losing to Ayesha Raymond in the semifinal match.
The following month, she competed in the BEW International Grand Prix, falling to Zan Phoenix in the first round. Her work with Pro-Wrestling EVE continued in 2018, too.
In June, she competed against Sammi Baynz at SHEVOLUTION: Stage One; two months later, she worked with Kay Lee Ray at Stage Two.
At Shevivor Series, Pro-Wrestling EVE’s final event of the year, she competed in the opening eight-person elimination tag team match.
Alongside Little Miss Roxxy, Kanji, and Kris Wolf, collectively known as Team Wolf, Gibbs’ team lost to Team Hayter, comprised of Nightshade, Baynz, Charli Evans, and Jamie Hayter.
Gibbs received her next big break in January of 2019. Along with Hayter and Bobbi Tyler, Gibbs was one of the three BEW talents sent to compete for BEW’s affiliate promotion. This was the World Wonder Ring Stardom.
It was during this time that she began to catch the attention of wrestling fans, too. Gibbs made her Stardom debut at the first night of the New Years Star tour, teaming with Mary Apache to defeat Jungle Kyona and Ruaka, collectively known as JAN.
Trios Tag Team Tournament
A few days later, she competed in the Trios Tag Team Tournament, teaming with Apache and the late Hana Kimura.
In the first round, the trio lost to Queen’s Quest members Utami Hayashishita, Bea Priestley (WWE’s Blair Davenport), and Viper, the latter currently known in WWE as Piper Niven.
Throughout the rest of the month, Gibbs competed with a variety of other Stardom talent, including Hanan, Rina, and Mayu Iwatani. Due to a death in her family, Gibbs’ time on the tour was cut short.
Following a three-way victory over Kaci Dillon and Talia Martins and BEW Rising Empire 4, in February, Gibbs sought her first championship.
In March, at Deutsch Wrestling Allianz’ Wrestling Legendshow, Gibbs defeated former TNA Women’s Knockout Champion ODB for the vacant DWA Ladies Championship. The month of March was also significant in that Gibbs was reportedly signing with AEW.
Though The Wrestling Observer reported this, it wasn’t until May that the promotion confirmed that Gibbs was #AllElite.
Though she didn’t appear in an in-person capacity, Gibbs’ first exposure in AEW came during a video package. It took place at the Double or Nothing event.
During “The Buy-In” pre-show, a video package played of Sadie Gibbs performing reps before cutting to her in-ring training. It was here that she performed moves including handspring back elbows and planchas.
At this time, there has been no set date for Gibbs’ AEW in-ring debut. Whether it occurs at All Out, which will take place in August, or the weekly TV show on TNT, slated for the fall, expect Gibbs to wow viewers with her sheer athleticism.
She was All-Elite
Though Sadie Gibbs was #AllElite, this hasn’t detracted from her various wrestling endeavors. In June, she competed for Southside Wrestling Entertainment’s Notorious IX.
It was her second SWE appearance, in a winning effort against fellow AEW signee Joey Janela. Wherever she wrestles, and whomever she stands across the ring from, expect “The Undefinable” AEW signee to continually carve her own path.
Sadie’s time at AEW was short-lived. What her future will be now that she is no longer with AEW remains to be seen. However, if her past achievements suggest something, then the sky is the limit.
Truth is the pandemic (which end of 2022 only really started to feel like life was free to grasp again)took its effects on all on us one way or another for me I think without knowing it(I had another journey to take) in the last two years I’ve had a couple of opps one where I had a 5cm inactive tumour(known as a dermoid)removed from my right ovary and endometriosis also diagnosed and removed.
I started suffering with sideeffects of this in my first year of being with AEW having vagal syncopes randomly and dangerously low blood pressure drops during these episodes.
Basically LIFE Happens! And TIME is needed where HEALING can occur my journey in wrestling all happened so fast it was one hell of a rollercoaster including my first ever major family loss(as many know about)then being signed one week prior to the funeral 
a year later planing my move to the STATES all packed ready to leave & we hit our first national lockdown 
” it’s fine be over in a few months” 6 months later no change and my release took place from @aew a contract I gave my heart and soul to gain!
But if I’m being honest I wasn’t ready for it,but that’s another thing are we ever truly ready for what life throws at us?No we level up and grow despite what healing needed to take place inbetween we suck it up and know how blessed we are to have the opportunity.
I’ve been toying with the thought of getting back wrestling(I honestly feel like I went through a breakup with the business, and my craft that I worked so hard to create to that point )I shut it out and got on with life SURVIVAL INSTINCT! and embarked on a journey which has now brought me back to this point!THE TRUTH!
I’ve never stopped talking about performing the art of wrestling and everyone always says I have so much passion when I do.
But it’s something I suppressed and I’ve never thought I’d say this about myself but the path back looked harder than the path away so I guess I just rolled over and called it retired.
Let the hard work begin….

After stepping away from wrestling for a time, she is in the midst of regaining the steam she had behind her when she was brought into AEW when the promotion was in its infancy. The future of the undefinable one is far from having its final chapters written.
