Wendy Choo

Originally debuting on NXT television in 2020 as Mei Ying, the enigmatic leader of the Tian Sha stable, Karen Yu reinvented herself as Wendy Choo in late 2021 — challenging Mandy Rose for the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT In Your House in June 2022 and defeating Tiffany Stratton in a Lights Out match that August. A technical wrestler blending aerial assaults with submission work, her arsenal features the Spring Roll modified Boston crab, a Fujiwara armbar, and a rear naked choke.

After Kendal Grey relinquished the Evolve Women’s Championship, Choo — no longer portraying her nightmarish slumber gimmick — won the vacant title by pinning Nikkita Lyons in an eight-woman gauntlet match on the April 15, 2026 episode, marking her first WWE championship. She is the reigning WWE Evolve Women’s Champion and currently working the NXT and Evolve brands.
