Professional wrestling career

Right out of high school, Heather Owens began her training at Les Thatcher's Main Event Pro Wrestling Camp in Evendale, Ohio in 2002. After only a few months, she left due to personal reasons. In May 2005, Owens returned to the wrestling ring and started training under Ronnie Longworth at Queen City Wrestling in Mt. Healthy, Ohio. She was only training for a few months before she became a referee. She left Queen City Wrestling in December 2005 and went back to Heartland Wrestling Association (HWA) to train under Cody Hawk.

Finally on October 9, 2010, Malo unmasked herself in a match against Eddie Gonzales and got the win.

After months of proving that she can be a part of the men's division, Owens got a shot at the WWC North American Championship which was being held by Jimmy Mallory. During the match, Owens faked an injury and while the ref was checking on her, Eddie Gonzales hit Mallory with the belt and Heather picked up the victory and the belt. Owens is the first women to hold the World Wrestling Coalition North American Championship.
