Megan Harper

Megan Ashley Harper (born March 13, 1993) is a British professional wrestler, model, actress and singer currently signed to Elite Answers Wrestling. She performs on the Empire brand under the ring name Megan Raine where she is the current EAW Specialists Champion in her first reign.

Her professional wrestling training began in December 2015 at the age of 22. She signed an EAW contract in January 2017, immediately starting on the Empire brand.

Early Life
Harper was born and raised in West London's Hammersmith District. Her parents are Olivia Harper, a high school math teacher, and Clyde Harper, a bank manager. She has one older sister, Sienna Harper, who is aged 26, and one younger brother, Quincy Harper, who is aged 22. Her mother is British, and her father is Irish. Megan Harper was always fascinated with wrestling, modelling and acting growing up. She started taking weekly acting classes at Act Drama at age 9, and began to do amateur modelling at age 14. Harper landed her first official movie role at age 10. She never took wrestling training growing up as she was unable to find qualified schools where she lived. Upon graduating from West London Free School, Harper continued to pursue her acting and modelling careers.

Early Career (2015 - 2016)
Megan Harper began her professional wrestling training at the Brisbane Pro Wrestling Academy in Brisbane, Australia under the tuition of head trainer and then-boyfriend, Keelan Cetinich. She began to pick up the sport in quick fashion, learning the art of Strong Style and submission-based wrestling in just over a year's time. Arnold B. Have, the other head trainer at BPWA, described Harper as "athletically gifted". After attending a tryout for EAW in December 2016, she came up successful and signed a contract to compete on the Empire brand on January 2 2017.

First Run, Personal Issues & Release (2017)
Megan Harper, now using the ring name Megan Raine, debuted as a face on January 12, being successful in her debut match. After only four short weeks, Megan Raine main evented Empire for the first time on February 9 in a tag team match, which unfortunately resulted in a loss.

In late-February, Megan Raine started getting tormented by Madison Kaline and Brody Sparks of The Coven, teasing her that her boyfriend at the time Keelan Cetinich cheated on her with Madison. The two competed in multiple tag team matches against one another, in where the two would continue to pick up wins over the other. At Malicious Intentions, Raine entered at #10 in the 25-woman Grand Rampage match, but was eliminated by Kendra Shamez. Following this, her feud with Madison Kaline continued. It was later revealed on an episode of Sunday Night Voltage that Keelan Cetinich really did cheat on Raine for Kaline. Megan Raine appeared on that Voltage episode to clear the air with Keelan Cetinich and to try and let bygones be bygones, but attacked him instead, turning heel for the first time in her career.

Megan Raine started losing multiple matches as she was unable to separate her personal life with her wrestling career. In an attempt to finally move on from it all, Raine competed against Madison Kaline in a Last Woman Standing match at Terminus, which however resulted in Kaline winning the match.

On June 2, 2017, Megan Raine announced that she would leave EAW due to personal stress, with no indication on if she would return.

Return to EAW (2017)
On the September 14th edition of Empire, Megan Raine made her surprise return alongside Sydney St. Clair, who was making her on-screen debut. Empire General Manager Tarah Nova announced that the two would team up to face Daisy Thrash & Revy at Manifest Destiny, which resulted in a victory for Raine and Clair. Over the next number of weeks, Raine and St. Clair would find themselves on the opposite ends of each other's matches. Both women would pick up a victory over one another before being invited to peer mediation by Flannery McCoy, in which she revealed that the two would compete in two separate Triple Threat matches, and in one of them the two must be handcuffed to one another. On the November 9th edition of Empire, Raine was defeated by April Song in a Triple Threat Contender's match for the EAW Specialists Championship while she was handcuffed to Sydney St. Clair. With more antics that followed in the next couple of weeks, it was announced that Raine would challenge St. Clair to a singles match at Bloodletter, where the winner would become the number one contender to the EAW Specialists Championship. On December 10th at the Bloodletter event, Megan Raine would defeat Sydney St. Clair to become the number one contender to the EAW Specialists Championship.

On the December 14 edition of Empire, Raine would defeat Mallory Wilde in singles competition. The following week, Raine appeared to have begun an on-screen relationship with EAW Chairman Mr. DEDEDE. The same night, Raine would team up with Astraea Jordan to defeat Consuela Rose Ava and Aria Jaxon in tag team action.
