She began in 2009 at the age of 13, trained by the famous Knight Family (<strong>Saraya &amp; Ricky Knight<\/strong>) at <strong>World Association of Wrestling (WAW)<\/strong> in Norfolk, England. Her first match was a WAW Academy match against a 14-year <strong>Britani Knight<\/strong> in December of 2009, who ironically announced her own departure from the squared circle earlier this month (Britani Knight is better known as WWE Superstar <strong>Paige<\/strong>). As <strong>Liberty<\/strong>, she feuded with Paige early and often, even tagging with Paige&#8217;s own mother, Sweet Saraya, against her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17628\" src=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/04\/Alex_Windsor_-_Chioa-nUUAArrlm-e1524237719334.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\"><\/p>\n<p>In 2010, she began to work with <strong>Pro Wrestling EVE<\/strong> as well, and in 2011, at only age 15, she was crowned WAW Women&#8217;s Champion, defeating Paige. She became a huge part of Saraya Knight&#8217;s <strong>Bellatrix<\/strong> women&#8217;s wrestling promotion in 2011, winning her first of two Belllatrix titles in 2014, defeating a pre-<strong>Rosemary<\/strong> <strong>Courtney Rush<\/strong>. She also began to work around the UK, including <strong>IPW:UK, Preston City Wrestling (PCW), Futureshock<\/strong> and others, as well as debuting in the US with both <strong>SHIMMER<\/strong> and <strong>SHINE<\/strong> in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Imu08fIyWMU<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, she changed names from Liberty to Alex Windsor, becoming more aggressive and fierce, and continued to shine in the exploding UK wrestling scene, working for the likes of <strong>PROGRESS, Southside Wrestling Entertainment (SWE), WCPW\/Defiant Wrestling, OTT, RevPro<\/strong> and more, including <strong>wXw<\/strong> in Germany.
