Nahir Robles is a young wrestler from Puerto Rico who is very proud of her heritage. She always comes to the ring with a Puerto Rican flag and a big smile on her face.

Nahir has been wrestling for over three years. She started her career in Puerto Rico and now wrestles in both the Northeastern part of the US and also her home island. She brings a ton of energy to the ring and is always a fan favorite.

Nahir has wrestled for promotions like IWA Puerto Rico, Wrestling Open, Beyond Wrestling, Maryland Championship Wrestling, Midwest All-Star Wrestling, and many more. She has been in the ring with stars like IMPACT stars Steph De Lander and Xia Brookside, Brittnie Brooks, Su Yung, Allie Katch, AEW’s Megan Bayne, and many more of the top names of independent wrestling.

Nahir won the Queen of Maryland tournament in March, by defeating indie stars Brittany Blake, Dani Mo and Sammi Chaos. She also currently holds the Warriors of Wrestling Women’s Championship and the Warrior Breed Wrestling’s Women’s Championship. Nahir has also found success in tag teams, most notably with JC Storm as the Major League Blondes.

I got to ask Nahir some questions about her multiple career paths, the differences between wrestling in the states and in Puerto Rico, her wrestling style, and much more. 

I was listening to a podcast that you were on and you described yourself as a wrestler, model and scientist. Firstly, how do you find the time, and secondly, how did you get into each one?

How do I find the time? I don’t even know sometimes myself. I do have to admit I have had to sacrifice one for the other. I became a model first, when I was just 12 years old when I competed in my first pageant. And to this day I don’t even know why I did it. I never looked like the typical model. By that time plus size modeling wasn’t an option, because of my young age. I did pageants for a really long time, and even had the honor of walking the NYFW stage twice. By the second time I walked it, I was already beginning my wrestling journey. And as more as a progressed in wrestling, the less time I’ve had to walk runways. I started my wrestling journey in late 2019 after I posted a picture on a WWE live show in Puerto Rico, when a photographer from my modeling days asked me why I don’t go to PR shows, to which I responded that because I would ask someone to train me. He then DM’d and told me to reach out to what later became my wrestling school, Espíritu Pro Wrestling Dojo. Then COVID happened, I got severely sick, and I had the terrible disadvantage of not being as athletic as most of my peers. But what I lack in that, I make up in heart, consistency and determination. I started as an interviewer until I was given the greenlight to wrestle. As for scientist? I have a Bachelor of Integrative Biology from the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus.

You use a move that I refer to as a Skull Fuck, as that is what Alex Shelley called it when I first saw it. Other people have called it other names, I know Marco Narciso, who you recently wrestled called it “The Full Package” and it has become popular since Stephanie Vaquer started using it in the WWE. Can you tell us when you started using it and how you picked up the move?

I think it was around late 2023, mid 2024. Most of my moveset has to do with my lower body. I’d like to think it is my biggest asset. No pun intended. I remember seeing Charlotte Flair do it and Madison Rayne. I figured it’d be fun to do so.

You have had a couple matches with Gema, who is also from Puerto Rico. I really became a fan of hers during her time in OVW. Who are some other wrestlers from Puerto Rico that you have faced, that we should be aware of?

That’s a tough one. I haven’t really faced as many as one would hope so. But I can tell you that I’ve had the pleasure to wrestle all the girls that were billed from my school such as Elena Negroni and Daisy Lyn (both current women’s champions from the two top PR companies. Third generation wrestler Nathalya Pérez. Young veterans in the figures of Roxxy and La Perla Negra Allison. A big monster with its powerful manager in Bitterness with Lillix. People I have yet faced but would be fun to in the future? Vanilla Vargas and Ivelisse. And very likely the three most influential from women’s wrestling Nancy, Amazona and La Rosa Negra. There’s just so many women right now in the scene. This is a first in decades.

You wrestle a lot in Puerto Rico and the Northeast states. Is there any difference in the style and/or the fans in Puerto Rico?

I always felt like there’s a big difference between styles. PR wrestling has a mixture of a lot of wrestling styles while the Northeast is much more storytelling, obviously Americanized. But it all comes down to crowd acceptance. Puertorrican crowds are very loud with megaphones.

You are in a tag team with JC Storm called Major League Blondes. You are a very impressive team. How did the tag team come together and do you and JC have softball or baseball backgrounds?

I first met JC Storm when we wrestled against each other in the battle of Latin rice supremacy Team Pegao Vs Team Concon at We Are Wrestling. A battle that was never resolved because of a DQ. Then we wrestled each other in a triple threat match at BST where we ended up just tagging with each other more than actually competing. From there it was decided we were gonna start tagging and we work really well together. I’m not sure if JC Storm has a baseball or softball background, but she’s a huge sports fan. I’m not as big as she is, but I did play first base in high school at my softball team. And as a proud puertorrican, I always go hard when any team plays representing the Island.

You seem to work really well in tag teams. Is that something that you feel you excel at and enjoy?

I’d like to believe because of my crazy ideas in the ring and my sense of style, it works. But even though I think I have great chemistry as a tag team wrestler, I also love being a singles wrestler.

Have you faced any challenges in wrestling that have come from being a queer Latina woman?

Not directly. But I have faced scrutiny on my own home being open as a queer Latina woman. Sometimes there’s people that are still stuck in the past. Homophobia will always exist. I never thought I’d face racism until recently. That still won’t stop me from being proud. And I will always use my platform to stand for what I believe in.

You always seem to have a giant smile on your face. What are some things about wrestling that make you smile?

With so many things going on in the world, I always find a reason to smile. Whether it’s because of the fans, or a little girl in the audience that sees me as someone to look up to. Wrestling is supposed to be many people’s happy place, why wouldn’t I smile about that? It’s my happy place too. And I want to channel that smiling.

You have a pretty unique wrestling style, is there anyone that you study or that has inspired you?

My wrestling style is very particular. There is some comedy in it. But when my matches become more serious, I like to study a mixture of powerhouse female wrestlers with technical wrestlers. I take a lot of inspiration from Toni Storm, Madison Rayne, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James. Also took a lot of the divas era. It was highly underrated.

You have had a lot of different looks, especially with your gear. Where do you get your inspiration from for your gear?

Most of my gears are either pop culture, movie, series, cartoons, video game and comic books references. The others are just things that I like. I am a geek at heart.

Is there anything else you would like us to know about you?

Weird fun facts about me? I’m very good at math. And I was spelling bee girly. I also learned all countries from America, location and their capitals by the age of 4. Thank you for your support.
