Victoria Crawford, widely recognized by WWE fans as Alicia Fox, is preparing to write a self-published book, aiming to share the untold stories and emotions from her extensive wrestling career. The former WWE Diva, now competing in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), opened up in a recent exclusive interview on The Velvet Ropes with SoCal Val about her plans to capture her journey in her own words, revealing both vulnerability and determination behind the scenes.
A Wrestling Career Spanning Nearly Two Decades
Victoria Crawford first signed with WWE in 2006, quickly rising through developmental territories like Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) and Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW)[1][3]. Adopting the Alicia Fox moniker, she became one of WWE’s prominent female wrestlers, known for her charisma and in-ring skill. Over her 17-year tenure, she held multiple championships and became a fixture on WWE programming.
Despite early success, Crawford has candidly acknowledged the fear she felt discussing her wrestling career openly, citing the vulnerability involved in sharing personal experiences within the highly publicized and sometimes harsh wrestling industry. Since leaving WWE in 2023, she has reinvented herself on the independent circuit and more recently in TNA, wrestling under her real name and reconnecting with fans with a fresh perspective on her life and work[2][8].
Opening Up About Past Struggles and Triumphs
In her interview with SoCal Val, Crawford revealed that the idea of writing a book began as a way to tell her story “with no filters”—something she felt was missing from other narratives about female wrestlers. She admitted being nervous about revisiting difficult moments from her journey but emphasized how important it is to shed light on the challenges she faced, both professionally and personally.
“I feel as though I’ve got a strong story to tell,” Crawford said, underscoring a desire to inspire others with her perseverance. She aims to document not only the glamour and spotlight moments but also the backstage realities—the highs and lows that shaped her wrestling career and life beyond the ring.
Transitioning from WWE to TNA and Independent Wrestling
Since departing WWE, Crawford has remained active in pro wrestling. She debuted outside WWE in 2023 at Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling under the ring name Vix Crow and continued competing on various independent platforms[2]. In 2025, she made her official TNA debut and has been featured in storylines as both a competitor and personality, further establishing her versatile presence in the wrestling world[6].
According to a wrestling industry insider, “Victoria is carving out a unique niche for herself post-WWE. Her passion for wrestling and storytelling comes through stronger than ever, and this book is a natural next step to share her voice authentically.”
What This Book Could Mean for the Wrestling Community
Wrestling autobiographies have long been a window into the backstage life and struggles of performers, but Victoria Crawford’s approach is poised to offer a fresh perspective, especially highlighting a female superstar’s journey in a male-dominated sport. The book is expected to cover not just her in-ring career but also her personal growth, the impact of fame, and the physical and emotional toll wrestling can bring.
By choosing self-publication, Crawford ensures creative control to candidly express her experience without external censorship or editorial pressure, allowing a raw and genuine narrative that fans and aspiring wrestlers alike can relate to.
Looking Ahead: The Story Continues
Victoria Crawford’s return to wrestling and now her leap into authorship symbolize the evolving roles wrestlers take today—moving beyond the ring to shaping their own legacies. With her strong storytelling potential and authentic voice, this upcoming book is highly anticipated by the wrestling community and beyond.
As one WWE source close to Crawford shared, “She’s always had an incredible story, much more than just what the cameras captured. Victoria’s ready to share that in a way that will resonate with fans, old and new.”
Her fans and peers alike are eager to see how her narrative unfolds, making her self-published memoir a significant addition to wrestling literature.
