Biography
Layla El is a retired professional wrestler, dancer, and model born on 25 June 1977. She's best known for her tenure in WWE under the mononymous ring name Layla, where she became the first British woman and first Diva Search winner to claim the WWE Women's Championship. Before wrestling, El danced for Carnival Cruise Lines, the Miami Heat franchise, and performed with Kanye West at the MTV Video Music Awards, then entered WWE's 2006 Diva Search, which she won. Her wrestling career spanned multiple brands: she initially appeared on SmackDown, then moved to ECW in January 2007, where she co-founded the Extreme Exposé dance troupe alongside Kelly Kelly and Brooke Adams. In 2008, she was drafted to Raw and managed William Regal before returning to SmackDown, where she partnered with Michelle McCool in the alliance known as LayCool. In May 2010, El won the WWE Women's Championship for the first time—a historic moment as both the first British woman and first Diva Search winner to hold the title—and notably held it when it was retired later that year. She returned in April 2012 to win the WWE Divas Championship, holding it until September, then wrestled for three more years before retiring in 2015. A Cancer with life-path number 1, she embodies the trailblazer archetype [F1, birth].
