Mini bio
How it started.
Before fans knew her as Nikkita Lyons, Faith Jefferies grew up around entertainment and martial arts. WWE describes a childhood spent traveling between concerts with her parents, followed by years of training and coaching in MMA and boxing. Her taekwondo black belt helps explain the spinning kicks she brings to her matches.
Finding the ring.
She trained under Selina Majors and wrestled in Women of Wrestling as Faith The Lioness before joining WWE in 2021. Her NXT debut against Kayla Inlay on February 22, 2022 introduced a wider audience to her tornado kick and splits pin. The pin spread across social media, a response she later said surprised her.
What she is building.
In 2026, Lyons defeated Wendy Choo to become Evolve Women’s Champion. Away from wrestling, she performs music as FaithyJ and shared a Phat Check video teaser with Mara Sadè. She also stars in Agent of Shadows, WWE’s collaboration with ReelShort, alongside Drew McIntyre and other WWE performers.
