Aliyah

Early life Nhooph Al-Areebi was born in Toronto, Ontario. She’s of Iraqi descent on her father’s side and of Syrian descent on her mother’s side. Al-Areebi attended St. Joseph's College School, graduating in 2012, and later attended George Brown College, where she studied nursing. Al-Areebi decided to become a professional wrestler after watching Beth Phoenix and Mickie James compete at a taping of Raw on May 5, 2008. She made her in–ring debut on June 20 during an NXT live event, where she competed in a six–person tag team match. In October, she was given the ring name Aliyah. Towards the end of the year, Aliyah debuted new ring gear and entrance music, leaving her Arabian gimmick, and picked up her first victory as part of the brand, as she defeated Billie Kay after a distraction by Liv Morgan, only for both of them to be attacked by Kay and Peyton Royce. This set a six–woman tag team match between Aliyah, Morgan and Ember Moon against The Iconic Duo (Kay and Royce) and Daria Berenato, that was taped on NXT TakeOver: Toronto on November 19, where Aliyah's team was victorious.

On January 3, 2017, Aliyah made her first main roster appearance as she appeared on SmackDown Live, where she lost to Carmella. Throughout 2018, Aliyah continued losing to various competitors such as Lacey Evans, Ember Moon and Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane. On September, Aliyah as a heel, started a short alliance with Evans, and the two had an altercation with Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo, which led to a tag team match, where Aliyah and Evans were victorious, making Aliyah's first victory in over a year. On February, she took time off television to get cosmetic surgery on her nose.

When she returned in 2020, she was written in a storyline where she tried to be included into the Robert Stone Brand, a stable led by Robert Stone. Stone joined forces with Aliyah on the June 17 and feuded with Rhea Ripley, facing her both of them at NXT: The Great American Bash.
