Jennifer Michell Cantú Iglesias (born April 9, 1996) is a Mexican professional wrestler. She is best known for her time in WWE, where she performed on the NXT brand under the ring name Yulisa León. She is a second generation wrestler after her father, who wrestled in Mexico under the ring name Bronco.
After she participated in some physical tests carried out in December 2019 by the WWE Performance Center, on February 26, 2021, it was reported that Iglesias had signed a contract with WWE.[1] However, it was not until April 23 that the company announced her official arrival, presenting her as part of a new class of international recruits who would begin to hone their wrestling skills at the WWE Performance Center.[2]
On October 19, she made her professional wrestling debut on an episode of 205 Live airing through the 22nd of the same month. There she introduced herself with the name of Yulisa León and she participated in a match between teams, where she teamed up with Katrina Cortez to face Valentina Feroz and Amari Miller, being defeated. On the November 23 episode of NXT, she made her debut for the brand and had her first singles match against Ivy Nile, in which she was defeated. On the September 13, 2022 episode of NXT, she revealed that she had suffered an injury estimated to keep her out of action for nine months, being a torn ACL.[3] León underwent surgery the same month, and in the words she wrote, it would be the first surgery in her fifteen years as an athlete.[4]
After recovering, León made her return to the ring on the May 19, 2023 episode of SmackDown, where she was defeated alongside her NXT partner Valentina Feroz by the NXT Women's Tag Team ChampionshipAlba Fyre and Isla Dawn.[5] On September 21, 2023, Yulisa Leon was released by WWE.[6]
