Gigi Dolin first made a name for herself in NXT as part of Toxic Attraction, along with Jacy Jayne and Mandy Rose. During this time, she won the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship twice. However, after Toxic Attraction disbanded, Dolin's career took a downturn. At one point, it seemed like she was about to receive a major push, but that didn't happen. She was put in a tag team with Shotzi and Tatum Paxley before she was released from the company on May 2, 2025.

Former WWE star Gigi Dolin commented on her AEW run

Before arriving in WWE, Gigi Dolin wrestled for AEW from 2019 to 2020. She even faced Britt Baker at the Dynamite Bash at the Beach in 2020. During this time, she was married to Darby Allin in real life, and the company wanted to introduce her on screen as Allin's wife. However, the former NXT star refused.

Speaking on the Rulebreakers podcast with Saraya, Gigi Dolin said she didn't want to be introduced as someone's wife, as that is how she would be labeled for the rest of her career.

“That was the idea. But I didn’t want to be introduced as someone’s wife. I was scared that if I got my first real introduction on TV as ‘Darby Allin’s wife,’ that’s all I would ever be." [H/T Ringside News]
