Brief Bio:
Lauren Anne Maldano was born and raised to the parents of Mindy and James Maldano on October 14th, 1996. She is the middle child of three girls, however she only grew up with her younger sister Michelle as her older sister Ashley was given up for adoption before the other two were born. Even though the two did not grow up together, they reconnected and became close over the years.
Growing up, Lauren was always a die hard wrestling fan. It separated her apart from most girls growing up around her, but was her motivation to get active and join sports early on such as competitive cheerleading. Once she got out of high school, Lauren focused her time attending college for business and communications, not long before scoring an internship at the local radio station helping out. Shortly during her time with that, in 2018 Lauren got her first big break with Slaughterhouse and Underground. Lauren worked as a model under the Slaughterhouse brand and spent a bit of time living in Hawaii. During her time there she grew a green thumb and took up a new skill with planting and gardening, before learning how to grow cannabis.
After getting exposure in the sports entertainment world, it wasn’t long after that Lauren was offered a position with Underground working backstage as an interviewer until they closed their doors. Lauren also spent a little bit of time working as a backstage correspondent at Valiant until they closed their doors, but was brought back on during the restart. Lauren also is currently employed for media purposes with Pro Wrestling Neo, Dream Maker Academy, SKW, Death Graps, made appearances on Rose City, The SLASHTALK Podcast, WOLF, and is a Full of Grace model.
Lauren is the owner of Elevated Creations. Elevated Creations is a wellness brand created by Lauren in 2021. The main dispensary and consumption lounge is located in Los Angeles, California but has an online shop that retails wellness and fitness items as well as CBD products. Lauren has also worked on a sponsorship affiliate program for athletes as well as companies for their shows in collaboration with Elevated Creations. Recently she opened up With Love, a wellness shop separately from the dispensary and is working on a flower shop

Gimmick:
Lauren went from cut throat wrestling personality to wrestler in training in a matter of months. The business has always been a part of her, but now she’s involved in the most hands-on way by competing. She has over five years of media experience under her belt but now is switching it up to get inside the ring. On camera for wrestling media Lauren was known to be a confident, business savvy woman. Professional wrestling has been a love of Lauren’s since she was a young girl, and that carried with her backstage during her work. She wasn’t afraid to ask the tough questions, actually prefers them, and digs deep into whoever she was talking to. Lauren loves to stir the pot and pick at her guests' nerves, seeing how far she can push them to answer what the world wants to know and what is on their mind.
As a wrestler, Lauren is very green to get to the top. She isn’t as cut throat as a wrestler with her words as she was with media, but she still has a way to get under the skin of people if needed. She’s been studying the wrestlers whose matches she has been calling for years and kept a notebook of notes on the majority of who she had watched. She’s the younger sister of wrestler Ashley Maldano, but you won’t find her using her family’s name for clout. Matter of fact, she doesn’t even use the same name for her in ring work but rather just goes by “Cloudy.”
Cloudy is all about putting on a show. She is a high flyer who will take all the risks when it comes to a match for the sake of a highlight of the week moment or making sure that every fan is either on their feet or asking themselves out loud is this real? When it comes to in-ring action, she is the queen of friendly competition and wants to make her own legacy in this industry. She will be the first one to step up to a challenge even if it is painfully out of her league. She has the passion and determination to step up to challenges that are over her head and won’t give up for the sake of getting better each time.

Entrance Information
Entrance Theme: “Paper Planes” by M.I.A
Entrance Description:
“I fly like paper, get high like planes…✈️✈️”
“Paper Planes” by M.I.A starts up and the lights in the arena immediately turn down. White fog fills the entrance ramp as a sea of cheers and some mixed reactions can be heard. It doesn’t take long before out comes a skipping and jumping up and down Cloudy from a thick cloud of fog from the back. With her signature She’s holding her hands up in the air above her head, her thumbs and index fingers on each hand connecting to form an airplane shape. Screaming out the lyrics with the crowd, Cloudy makes her way to the center of the ramp before kneeling down into a low squat, zooming her airplane hands up in a flying motion above her head as she looks out to the audience.
“Bona fide hustler making my name..✈️✈️”
Announcer: “And from beyond the skies.. weighing in at 128 pounds.. She is The Elevated One… CLOOOOOUDYYYYYY”
“All I wanna do is…✈️✈️✈️✈️..and take your money.. ✈️✈️”
As the music continues on, Cloudy jumps up from her squat position and breaks her plane hands and transforms them into finger guns to match the song as she skips down the ramp. The trail of white smoke follows her every step as she locks eyes with the ring, nodding her head looking ready to take on the challenge in front of her this evening. As she slaps some hands of the fans, she tosses some #stayelevated sweatbands into the crowd to some lucky in attendance. Making her way down the ramp and closer to the ring, Cloudy swiftly runs over to the ring, jumping up and onto the apron showing off her athleticism in the process. Not shying away from her confidence, she shakes her hips as she lands up on the ring and makes sure to show off the “Stay Elevated” written across her rear of her ring gear shorts as she shakes her hips sliding under the ropes and quickly makes her way over to the northern turnbuckle. Cloudy smiles real wide as she jumps back up to the music onto the ropes up the turnbuckle, blowing out a cloud of smoke as she reaches the top, lifting her hands back up to the same airplane motion as before screaming with the audience cheers
