WWE recently taped the March 11th edition of Level Up. Diamond Mine’s Ivy Nile took on Brooklyn Barlow in one of the matches taped for the show. The episode will air this Friday at 10 pm ET.

For those who don’t know, Brooklyn is a Strongman as well as 3x NQ NPC Bikini competitor. The real-life Brooke Vawter participated in the WWE tryouts held in Las Vegas last year during the SummerSlam week.
