Sara Ann Amato (born November 13, 1980) is an American professional wrestling trainer and retired professional wrestler, best known by her ring name Sara Del Rey. She was a mainstay for Chikara,[5] Ring of Honor (ROH) and Shimmer,[6] but also appeared for many other independent promotions in the US, including IWA Mid-South and All Pro Wrestling,[3] as well as Mexico's Lucha Libre Femenil.[5] Del Rey also taped several matches, competing under a mask and using the name Nic Grimes, for the MTV promotion Wrestling Society X.[5]
Del Rey was the inaugural Shimmer Champion and co-holder of the Shimmer Tag Team Championship with Courtney Rush, making her the promotion's first double champion. In 2012, she became the fourth woman to make it to Pro Wrestling Illustrated's list of top 500 wrestlers in the world.[7] She is currently employed by WWE as the Assistant Head Coach and producer of their developmental territory at NXT, based in the WWE Performance Center.[8]
