Jonah originally pursued a career in professional wrestling at the urging of her friends. Her extensive theater and sports background made wrestling an obvious choice. After completing her English degree, she moved to Louisville to train.[1] She made her debut at the March 18, 2006 Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) house show from Shepherdsville, Kentucky, teaming with Cherry to defeat Serena Deeb and Fugi Cakes. A month later, at a house show in Austin, Indiana, Jonah lost to Beth Phoenix by disqualification when Shelly Martinez came out and attacked Phoenix. She made her OVW television debut in the spring of 2006 as part of the Seth Skyfire, Mike Mizanin addng the role of Mizanin's girlfriend. The May 10 TV tapings featured Jonah and Mizanin defeating the combo of Skyfire and Shelly Martinez after Beth Phoenix interfered. The Miz's was then called-up to WWE's main roster. As a result, Jonah was repackaged with a stable made up OVW's resident "goth rock" band, Gothic Mayhem, of which Jonah was the bassist.[1] She also took part in a series of women's matches and beauty contests.
On July 12, 2007 Jonah, along with Principle Lazarus, aka Cyndi "Bobcat", captured the Women's Extreme Wrestling (WEW) Tag Team Title by defeating Amy Zidian and Annie Social. They successfully defended the straps at WEW's "Tit For Tat" show against the makeshift duo of Becky Bayless and Lucy Furr. On July 21, 2008 the duo yet again successfully defended their WEW tag team title, against the team of Amy Lee and Annie Social at the "Locker Room Lust" show. Jonah and Bobcat are still the tag team champions today.
Jonah designed all of Kelly Kelly's Extreme Exposé gear, Shelly Martinez's gimmick attire while she was in World Wrestling Entertainment, and all of her own attire used in OVW.[2] At one point, she had an online clothing store.[1]
Jonah started a new course in entertainment with film making. Roni landed in the top 3 actresses for a nationwide contest held by massify.com and After Dark Films in search of talent for the film "Perkins 14".
Roni teamed with fellow massify contestant and Kentucky actor Jason Crowe to co-write, star and direct the feature film "The Legacy" where Jonah also did all the SPFX work. Soon after Jonah and Crowe began work on another film entitled "Hell House". In it, Jonah re-claimed her role as "Suicide Betty" from "The Legacy". Jonah co-wrote, starred and created all SPFX for Hell House.
Jonah has also written and directed a short film entitled "Trepan", her first film created completely on her own. Roni has been involved in several additional projects in various capacities, including "Little Sex Shop of Horrors", "Hell-Ephone", "Saucer Sex From Beyond", "Nightmare Fuel", and "'Till Death Do Us Part". Jonah's SPFX work can also be seen in the new film "Red River".
