Zaria has set the internet on fire, and this time, it’s from outside the squared circle. On October 5, 2025, a wrestling page (@TheCovalentTV) took to X, sharing a side-by-side picture of the Aussie wrestler, with and without makeup. To absolutely nobody’s surprise, she looked stunning without the face paint. Check out the tweet below:

The WWE Universe could not believe their eyes as they were showering her with compliments, and how she has slayed in both looks. The fans were now divided, with some wanting her to have the no-makeup look in WWE. Some claimed that her cosmetics put her in a better position, reminding them of Luna Vachon. Here’s what the fans had to say:
So basically she looks good regardless, gotcha👍
Zaria heel turn in that non makeup look will be generational.
How are they the same person
One makes me think she's gonna kill me.
Why the over looks like a girl who goes to the gym I go to
She's good looking, but I think the makeup will put her in a better position. Her presentation reminds me of Luna Vachon, a legend in her own right.
She can play two totally different characters if she chooses to because she looks like 2 different people 😂
Zaria Reflected on the Life-Changing Moment of Signing With WWE
Last week at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, Zaria made her SmackDown debut with Sol Ruca, defeating the team of Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre. The match ended with Ruca hitting her impressive finisher, Sol Snatcher, on the former women’s US Champion. This has got the fans talking about her and how she has been one of the most intriguing signings from WWE in recent times.
During an exclusive interview with Wide World of Sports, Zaria recalled the tryout period with WWE, where she claimed everything was a “blur.” Following her tryout match, Grayson Waller approached her and stated that she was in, yet she felt skeptical about it. She said,
I had my match, came backstage and cooled down. Grayson Waller comes up to me and he goes ‘hey, come over here’ and was like ‘I wanna let you know you’re in, you’re gonna make it’ and I was like ‘get out of here’. He was like ‘no, seriously, they were talking about it and you’re in’ – so that was the moment. There was still a little bit of me that had to hear it from the horse’s mouth.
She added,
It might have been two weeks later that I got the call and I had just finished my usual day job and I was sitting in my car. It was the call where they told me ‘hey, we’re gonna offer a contract to you’ and I couldn’t even process that thought. It all felt like a dream and it still feels like a dream.
She emphasized that even after officially signing the contract with the world’s largest wrestling promotion brand, she could not believe it. However, that did not stop her from becoming a sensation in NXT and a future WWE Superstar.
Dean Brady: The Unknown Inspiration Behind Zaria’s Wrestling Fever
Zaria is quite a secretive person and prefers to keep her personal life behind the curtains, and even her age was unknown until SDH claimed that she is currently 26 years old. While it is no surprise that she is a sensation in the wrestling world, it might come as a shock to some that she got into wrestling because of her elder brother, Brady Jane.
As per Gerweck.net, Daria Hodder credits her brother for encouraging her to try out in the indie scene in Australia in 2019. After a successful tryout, she made her debut on December 31, 2020, at RCW Let’s Get Ready To Rumble, teaming up with her brother against Cayden Cornell and Savannah Summers, picking up a win against them.
Following her debut as DELTA, she focused on being a singles competitor, where she has faced her brother Brady Jane on multiple occasions. However, they decided to team up as Brady LTD and showcased their domination in the division, becoming two-time RCW Tag Team Champions and going on a 609-day-long reign as the FWA Tag Team Champions (via Cagematch).
Interestingly enough, her final match in RCW was against her brother in a No Holds Barred Match at RCW Heavy Is The Crown 2024, where she was defeated and closed her indie wrestling chapter.
With Zaria becoming such a fan favorite name in WWE, do you think she will win her first title in SmackDown? Let us know in the comments below!
