Sarah Stock

Sarah Stock (born March 4, 1979) is a Canadian professional wrestler, who is signed to AEW as a coach and producer.

Previously, she was a women's trainer and producer for WWE.

Stock began her career in Canada and moved back and forth across the country, working for various promotions, facing both male and female wrestlers.

She then moved to Mexico, where she worked under the ring name Dark Angel for Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA) and later for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

She is also known for her time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where under the ring name Sarita she became the inaugural and two-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion, holding the title the first time with Taylor Wilde and the second time with Rosita.

She has also worked in Japan for JDStar and World Wonder Ring Stardom, where she held the Wonder of Stardom Championship.

Stock was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and graduated from Winnipeg's St. John's-Ravenscourt School.

She then attended the University of Manitoba, where she was an honors student and completed a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in chemistry.

Stock is trilingual, with the ability to speak English, French, and Spanish.

Stock practiced and competed in Muay Thai kickboxing for several years before entering professional wrestling.

She has also participated in soccer, track and field, cross country running and horseback riding.

Stock has stated that, if she had to pick a career outside of wrestling, she would consider the field of sports psychology and nutrition.

Stock began training as a professional wrestler in Winnipeg, Manitoba's Top Rope Championship Wrestling.

She trained for five weeks before an open spot on the company's tour gave her the opportunity to debut.

She debuted on the Northwest Territories independent circuit on February 22, 2002.

She wrestled for Can-Am Wrestling in early 2002 and was awarded the Can-Am Wrestling Women's Championship upon her debut in the promotion.

That July, she joined Real Action Wrestling under the ring name Sweet Sarah, in the Canadian Maritimes as a valet to Johnny Wiseguy.

Soon after, she began wrestling in the promotion, teaming with Wiseguy in a series of mixed tag team matches against Duke MacIsaac and his valet, Rachel.

The promotion soon folded, but Stock signed with MainStream Wrestling (MSW) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she debuted in August 2002 and continued to wrestle as Sweet Sarah.

There were few female wrestlers in the area, so she worked in several matches against male wrestlers.

The following month, Stock began wrestling for Afa Anoaʻi's World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW), based in Pennsylvania, United States.

She worked against female wrestlers, including Mercedes Martinez and Valentina.

In October, she returned to Canada and wrestled in Albertan independent promotions under the ring name Sarah Griffin.

She engaged in a feud with Charlotte Webb, and the two faced each other in both Hybrid Wrestling Coalition and Can-Am Wrestling.

Griffin was successful in the majority of these matches.

From November 2002 to April 2003, she worked for several other Canadian independent promotions, including Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, Monster Pro Wrestling, and Premier Championship Wrestling.

In April, she returned to MSW, where she feuded with male wrestler Kyle Kruze.

This feud included matches with special stipulations, including a "Kiss My Ass" match which she won, and a Bra and Panties match.

In 2003, in an effort to improve her in-ring skills, Stock relocated to Monterrey, Mexico to face the female wrestlers there.

At the suggestion of a promoter, Stock began working while wearing a mask.

She also took on the ring name Dark Angel, on the advice of Eddie Watts.

She initially found it difficult to work with the wrestlers in Mexico, as she did not speak Spanish and could not communicate with them throughout the match.

On October 17, she defeated Simply Luscious to win the Lucha Libre Femenil Juvenil Championship.

While wrestling in Mexico, Stock continued to work for various promotions in the United States and worked several tours through Europe, where among others, she worked for the now defunct Lucha Libre España Wrestling, wrestling for the LLEW World Women's championship.

In November 2003 Stock worked matches for World Xtreme Wrestling.

On November 23, she wrestled a match for Ring of Honor (ROH), where she lost to Allison Danger.

She also had a match in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), which at the time was a developmental promotion for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

On April 2, 2004, Stock lost her mask in a forty-five minute mask vs. mask match against Princesa Sujei at a Lucha Libre Femenil event.

Shortly thereafter, she decided to leave Monterrey to move to Mexico City and wrestle for Lucha Libre AAA World Wide (AAA).

Although Stock began appearing with AAA under the assumption that she would be wrestling, the company had her start out by holding up signs for the crowd at events.
