Niya Barela (aka Ezavel Suena) is a professional wrestler best known for competing for Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU), where she portrayed a villainess.
Niya debuted for WSU in 2010 as a babyface, but her tenure there came to an abrupt end when she lost a Loser Leaves WSU match to Jennifer Cruz in 2011. However, Niya returned to WSU on January 2012 as Ezavel Suena, a villainous masked wrestler, and attacked Jenny Rose and Jessie Brooks after their match ended in a draw. Suena teamed with manager Rick Cataldo in a losing effort against Rose and Brooks in a tag team bout at WSU's 5th Anniversary Show, but they would defeat Annie Social and Kimber Lee months later while their J-Cup Tournament took place.
By October 2012, Niya began competing as both herself and her villainous alter-ego, in an attempt to get back on the roster, with everyone unaware of Suena's true identity. She lost matches to Saturyne and Veda Scott in back to back events, with the latter match officiated by Jana, who missed Niya being on the ropes while Veda pinned her. At the Uncensored Rumble event on August 10, 2013, Niya lost to Jana via DQ when she refused to break during a five-count. Later in the event, Niya competed in the Uncensored Rumble Match under her masked heel persona, and went on to win the battle royal.
Suena received a shot at the Spirit Championship, which was held by Marti Belle. Suena lost to Marti at Blood and Thunder in October, but after she attacked Marti, she was challenged to a Title vs Mask rematch. The rematch took place at Mutiny on February 8, 2014, where Suena defeated Marti Belle to capture the Spirit Championship. After the match, Suena removed her mask and revealed herself as Niya, completing Niya's heel turn.
At United on July 12, the evil Niya kicked off the event by bragging about how she tricked the fans and everyone in the WSU roster when she competed as Suena and won the Spirit Championship to get back on the roster. She was confronted by Nevaeh afterwards, which kicked off a rivalry between the two. Niya resurfaced and attacked Nevaeh and Brittany Blake after their match, which led to the duo defeating Niya and Jessie Kaye at Resurgence. At Breaking Barriers III, Niya successfully defended her title against Tessa Blanchard and attacked her after the match before she was run off by Nevaeh, who announced that she'll be competing for Niya's title at the next event. Niya lost the Spirit Championship to Nevaeh at WSU's 8th Anniversary Show on February 21, 2015.
