Prior to heading to TNA, Velez competed as Sofia Cortez in NXT. She had originally been a contestant on the revamped version of Tough Enough, but was cut due to an injury she suffered. After spending several months competing in WWE’s development system, she was released due to supposed attitude issues backstage.

Currently, she is signed to Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, and has worked in MMA alongside her professional wrestling commitments. She is yet another one of the Tough Enough competitors to be eligible for Gutcheck, as A.J. Kirsch, who was also featured on the show, was up for the failed-online voting recently pulled.
