Tenille Dashwood has become a US Citizen.
The Australian born pro wrestler is a former TNA and WWE roster member, having multiple runs with WWE as Emma.
On May 30th, Tenille took to social media to announce that she had officially become a United States citizen.
I’m officially a U.S. citizen! ----
As a kid, I dreamed of traveling to America and becoming a WWE Superstar. At 19, I moved overseas, leaving behind my family and everything I’d ever known to chase that dream. By 22, I signed my first WWE contract and moved to the U.S. on an entertainment visa. From there, I earned an extraordinary athlete visa, then a green card—all while working hard and living out my dream.
Along the way, I met my now-husband Mike, and we got married in Hawaii last year. And just this March, we welcomed our beautiful son into the world.
None of this would’ve been possible without the opportunity to live and work in this country. It truly feels like the American Dream.
P.S. I had a dream last night that I was shouting across the street, “It’s gonna be a good day!” — and it really, really is.
P.P.S my interview was back in February when I was still pregnant. My ceremony was supposed to be in March but Leo came early, so I finally got there today (3 months later) to get my certificate of citizenship!
Earlier this year, Dashwood welcomed her and fellow former WWE Superstar Mike Rallis' first child. You can read more about that here.
