On June 21, we celebrate Diamante. Diamante is a Cuban-American wrestler and a member of the LGBTQ community. She is currently in a relationship with Kiera Hogan, who appeared on this list on June 17. They have been together since 2019 and won the tag team titles in WOW. In 2017, she appeared under her real name, Priscilla Zuniga, in a quick loss to Asuka for NXT.
Diamante started her career in 2008 and has worked the indie scene throughout the first half of her career before working with AEW/ROH in 2020 and signing a full-time contract in 2023. She also had a brief stint in IMPACT/TNA. While working mostly for ROH lately, Diamante had a feud with Leyla Hirsch that included a Lights Out Match, followed by a Texas Death Match at ROH Death Before Dishonor in 2024.
The Cuban Diamond has had championship pursuits in ROH against Athena for the ROH Women’s World Title and defeated Kiera Hogan to advance in the ROH Women’s TV Title tournament to crown an inaugural champion. This was eventually won by Billie Starkz, who took out Diamante in round two. Diamante has fought for the ROH Women’s TV Title since losing to current champion Red Velvet.
