It has been used in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Maple Leaf Wrestling, and Ring of Honor, just to name a few promotions. He also made a good impression on AEW star Thunder Rosa.
Rosa told Pak Gazette Digital that she believed Persephone had exploded.
“I think she’s one of those talents who bet on herself a long time ago. She was a fighter. She had a mask. She lost it and she’s been working very, very hard to get that opportunity for herself,” Rosa said. “And I think she’s found her time. And this year, I think she’s been the breakout star of the year, I’ll say. I think when she started coming last year and doing some of the shows, people started to see how talented she was.”
Rosa said that she has seen firsthand Persephone’s growth as a wrestler and that she has the ability to make fans cheer for her even though she is portrayed as a heel.

“I mean, I have seen her grow since 2020 in the independent scene and now when I go to Mexico City and they love her regardless of whether she is a heel or not, they like to adore her there,” Rosa added. “And now, how she has been able to make the transition to the American style, it is also very interesting to see because when you see this transition, I go to Mexico and try to make the transition to Lucha Libre and she, although she was born here in the United States and is binational, it is always very, very cool to see the fact that she has to make the transition to the American style of wrestling.
“But she’s very smart and knows what she’s doing. So I’m very proud of her.”
