Following her official wrestling career debut appearance, indies wrestler Erick Stevens revealed on Twitter that he helped trained Malenko and confirmed that she is legitimately Dean’s daughter.

I’ve trained with this young lady. She’s definitely a Malenko. With more experience, I think she could become one of the best technical wrestlers in the country. https://t.co/WA2JIiLC1E
