About

Lady Shani (born March 2, 1993) is the ring name of a Mexican professional wrestler, under contract with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. She made her debut in 2009 and until 2015 worked under the more generic name Sexy Lady before adopting her current name that same year. Initially she portrayed a ruda (a heel, or villain) but in 2017 she changed sides and became a tecnica (the face, or fan favorite). She is the cousin of Ludark Shaitan, with whom she both teamed with and fought against early in her career. Lady Shani's real name is not a matter of public record, which is traditional for masked wrestlers in Mexico who have not been unmasked.

In her first AAA match she teamed up with Mari Apache, losing to Faby Apache and Lolita.[12] In early 2013 Sexy Lady was one of eight women competing for the vacant AAA Reina de Reinas Championship ("Queen of Queen Championship"), but was eliminated in the first round by Faby Apache In September 2015 she was reintroduced with a new ring character, the ruda (heel, or villain) character "Lady Shani". The ring character was inspired by the Japanese Ninja culture, expressed both in her mask and entrance robes. The Reina de Reinas championship match at Triplemanía XXV was overshadowed by the unscripted nature of the finish of the match. The match saw Sexy Star defend the championship against Lady Shani, Ayako Hamada and Rosemary from Impact Wrestling On October 1, 2017, at Héroes Inmortales XI Lady Shani defeated Ayako Hamada to win the vacant AAA Reina de Reinas Championship, starting her first championship reign in AAA.[27] The following month, Lady Shani won her first Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", where she pinned Venus and then forced her to unmask.[28][29] Lucha de Apuestas wins, especially a mask win, is considered a very prestigious win in Lucha Libre and a sign of a promotion's support of that wrestler. In the fall AAA started a Facebook Live exclusive tournament called Lucha Capital that saw Lady Shani wrestle against Lady Maravilla twice, ending with a victory and a loss in the preliminary round of the tournament.[33] On December 12, 2018, Lady Shani regained the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at AAA's annual Guerra de Titanes show to start her second reign. During the final round of women's Lucha Capital tournament Lady Shani announced that she was dropping out of the tournament, but extended a challenge to the eventual tournament winner for a future match.
