Candice Blair Ava

Candice Blair Ava (born May 19, 1993) is an American professional wrestler and model currently signed to Elite Answers Wrestling, where she appears in their Developmental territory. She formerly appeared in EAW's offshoot company, War Made Wrestling, where she was its inaugural and only Valkyries Champion.

Early Life
Ava was born in San Francisco, California, and raised both there and in Los Angeles. She is the youngest of four sisters, preceded in birth by twins Cameron Ella (an eventual EAW Hall of Famer) and Consuela Rose, and other older sister Camille Jane (also known by her ring name, Ms. Extreme). Although she is close with her mother, she has little to no memory of her father and says she is content with not having a relationship with him. She was active in cheerleading in middle and high school, and eventually began training to become a wrestler during her junior year.

XMW (2011)
Ava joined XMW at the age of eighteen, shortly after graduating high school. Her tenure in the company, however, was short-lived.

War Made Wrestling (2017)
It was announced that Ava had signed with EAW, the company for which both of her older sisters already worked, in December 2016. The announcement came in tandem with the announcement that EAW was reviving its offshoot project, War Made Wrestling, the following month. She debuted under the shortened name Candice Blair on the premiere January 23 broadcast, where she last eliminated Cassiopeia in a Steel Gauntlet to be crowned the Valkyries Champion. On the February 6 episode, she defeated Bianca Auriel.

Developmental (2017 - present)
In January 2017, Ava was assigned to the EAW Performance Center. She later debuted in a tweener role once again going by her full name of Candice Blair Ava.

Modeling Career
Almost immediately after leaving XMW, Ava embarked on a successful modeling career, which she now juggles in addition to working with EAW.

Other Media
Ava is featured as a cast member on The Plunge, a reality show aired on the EAW Network that details the life of Performance Center recruits.

Personal Life
Around the age of twenty, Ava battled with depression and the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Consequently, she spent time in rehab and credits this with helping her to beat her addictions. She says the influence of her older sister Camille, who was most instrumental in urging her to get help, made a world of difference.

Though a natural brunette, Ava dyes her hair frequently, having been seen in a wide range of shades including platinum blonde, pink, purple, light blue, and red.

Ava currently resides in Newark, New Jersey. She is good friends with fellow Performance Center recruits Chantal and Cassidy Vega. She cites Tarah Nova as her favorite female Elitist and Jamie O'Hara, her sister Cameron's boyfriend, as her favorite male Elitist. She describes her sisters, Heart Break Gal, and Cleopatra as her biggest influences in wrestling.
