SoCal Val is an American professional wrestling valet, occassional wrestler, interviewer, ring announcer, and ringside attendant. She has also gone by the name of Miss Valerie, and was born Paige Nicole Mayo.
SoCal Val first debuted as a manager in 2002 for the Golden State Championship Wrestling. She developed the character of SoCal Val, a wealthy, petulant, ruthless villain, who was based on Stephanie McMahon's WWE circuit.
As part of Women's Extreme Wrestling (WEW), Val started out as an executive under Francine Fournier. Val later wrestled Francine in a Kiss My Foot match, which she lost.
In 2008, SoCal Val officially signed with TNA. That same year, she entered an on-screen relationship with Jay Lethal, and Sonjay Dutt also showed affections for her. Lethal lost his X Division championship to Petey Williams after a Canadian Destroyer on the April 17 episode of Impact! Their wedding was ruined when Sonjay Dutt claimed he should marry Val and attacked Lethal. At No Surrender, Val turned heel by giving Letha a low blow, allowing Dutt to get the victory. In the following weeks, Val's actions were explained by transitioning her character into a gold digger, claiming that Dutt's father was the richest man in India. In 2009, Dutt was released thus ending the storyline. In 2010, Val worked as the ring announcer on Xplosion. In 2013, she parted ways with TNA.
SoCal then joned the Shine Wrestling at SHINE 21, where she debuted as an observer scouting various members of the roster. Val established herself as a villainous manager at SHINE 22 as she formed the stable, Valifornia, which consisted of Nevaeh, Marti Belle, and Jayme Jameson, who defeated Kellie Skater, Leva Bates, and Mia Yim at the event.
