5 things you didn't know about AEW star Tay Conti: Friends with FC Barcelona star, first female Brazilian to compete at WrestleMania

#2. AEW star Tay Conti is the first female Brazilian to compete in WrestleMania

AEW wrestler Tay Conti didn't have a positive experience with WWE towards the end of her time there. She even asked for her release several times before she eventually got it in 2020 during the pandemic.

Despite her brief run on NXT, Conti has had quite a number of milestones in her WWE career. Having been a part of the company for almost three years, Conti competed in the Mae Young Classic tournaments in 2017 and 2018. She said it was one of the craziest and most amazing opportunities she has ever gotten in life.

Also, in 2018, after just two years in the WWE, Conti ended up competing on the biggest stage of them all, WrestleMania 34. She was part of the inaugural Women's Battle Royal held during the pre-show.

"That was the most crazy and amazing opportunity of my whole life. I will always be grateful because WWE changed my life for the better. I came here to the US and I [didn't speak] English. I had no idea what wrestling was before, and after two years I was in a WrestleMania ring. Do you have any idea! I had just two years of experience and I was in WrestleMania."

With this accolade, Tay became the first female Brazilian to compete in WrestleMania. It is a history-making achievement for the wrestler and paved the way for future Brazilians who wish to step into the squared circle.

Hopefully, Conti can look forward to making more history with AEW as she has the chance to become the first Brazilian champion for the AEW's women's division.
