Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2016–2020)

Under the ring name Bobbi Tyler, Bridge spent five years wrestling on the UK independent circuit from June 2016 to December 2020. Within that span, Tyler held six titles, winning the PWP Catch Division Championship and Women's Championship while with Pro Wrestling Pride, and two others while wrestling in International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom, a single title while in House Of Glory, and a single title reign while in Ultimate Pro Wrestling.[2] She also appeared for World Wonder Ring Stardom, where she was a member of Tokyo Cyber Squad.

WWE

NXT UK (2021–2022)

On 25 March 2021 Bridge was signed to WWE under the ring name Stevie Turner.[3][4] Turner made her WWE debut on the 1 April episode of NXT UK, where she lost to Aoife Valkyrie.[5] Behind the scenes, she declared that she had traveled the world to get there in which she was close to defeating one of the most dominant women of the brand. On 6 May 2021, a promo cartoon came out in which she stated that she would go after every woman in NXT UK by admitting and naming herself "The Fourth Dimension 4D". With her new gimmick, on 12 May Turner defeated Laura Di Matteo. Turner had a few victories until she faced then-champion Meiko Satomura at the WWE Performance Center, interrupting her in her training, which would give her a shot at the title. On 19 August she lost to Satomura in the title bout. Due to the brand closure in order to be rebranded on-screen as NXT Europe, Turner did not appear the rest of the year on television.[6]

Assistant General Manager of NXT (2023–present)

At NXT: New Year's Evil, Turner debuted on NXT through a televised promo now with the gimmick of a streamer giving her criticism of some women's matches.[7] On 31 January 2023, Turner made her in-ring debut on NXT and defeated Dani Palmer.[8][9] She began teasing a feud with Lyra Valkyria, but suffered an injury in March that kept her out of action for several months. She began making appearances on NXT Level Up in the summer of 2023. In April 2024, Turner began trying to convince NXT General Manager, Ava, to give her more matches. On the 4 June episode of NXT, she lost to Jordynne Grace, who had been appearing in NXT as part of the partnership between WWE and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Following this, Turner tried to convince Ava to make her an assistant General Manager, and frequently battled with Robert Stone, who wanted the same thing. On the 26 June episode of NXT, Ava made both Turner and Stone assistant General Managers.[10]
