Biography[]
- The Early Years: Moira is the daughter of Michael Arches, better known as "The Epitome" Mike Arches, and Elise Andrews, sister of Riley Andrews. She was born early in her father's wrestling career, and spent the first few years of her life traveling with her parents. However, she eventually moved in with her grandparents and was raised almost exclusively by them. She would excel in gymnastics as a child, and would eventually have the opportunity to try out for the Junior Olympic Qualifying team. She made the team, however was removed after it was discovered that she had broken curfew and drank at a party during training. She had a number of small run-ins with her grandparents, and other authority figures in her life. This was due to the grudge she held towards her parents and her feelings of abandonment.
- Reconciliation: Losing her chance at the Junior Olympics was a wake up call for Moira, as she would attempt to turn her life around. She reached out to her parents and they began to work on rebuilding their relationship together. She also discovered during this time that she also shared the same love for professional wrestling that her parents had. Because of this, she began training at the Young Breed Academy in Ottawa. This was the same school in which her father helped start with his former stablemates, Tyler Hawk and Katya DeSmidt. After two years of training, Moira felt as though she was ready to begin her career.
- IIW Debut: Moira signed a contract with the England-based Intense International Wrestling company, and made her debut on the June 9th, 2021 episode of First Class. Her debut match was an Open Invitational with the winner earning the right to face the IIW Women's Champion in the future. Though this was Moira's first official professional wrestling match, she would go on to win the match. Later that same night, Fiona Harris would win the Women's Championship, setting up a potential matchup between the two. The IIW was also home to members of her father's long-time friend Fred Debonair's family, to include his sister Casie, and children Tyler and Mercedes.
- First Women's Championship: Moira defeated "F Yeah!" Fiona Harris for the IIW Women's Championship in her third televised match in the company at the Explosion PPV on July 11th, 2021. Her father Mike Arches accompanied her to the ring. Towards the end of the match, he stopped interference against Harris from members of The Coven, allowing Moira to get a clean win.
- Retirement: In the late summer of 2021, Moira sustained a career ending injury.
