Wrestler's Bio: Yuri Moon, better known mononymously by her ring name Coda, began her career in the wrestling scene when she debuted in an untelevised independently-owned subsidiary of Insurgency Wrestling Federation (the predecessor of what is now known as Millennium Wrestling Enterprise or MWE for short) in early 2016. At first, she was given the gimmick of a kpop idol wrestler who smiled and danced to the ring in a rather revealing outfit. After a meltdown where she began to remove the pleated skirt that she wore over her tights in a panic, she lost the match and discussed her texture sensitivity with the general manager behind closed doors with her sister Mari there for support. The two carefully explained how Yuri was on the autism spectrum and what that meant, acknowledging the possibility that this might be the end of Yuri's career before it started. To their surprise, though, he understood and accommodated her with a more conservative attire she was more comfortable with and her gimmick began to adjust too. Yuri kept the name Coda and the finisher/signature naming conventions as a call back to where she started, though. And now that she was comfortable, she began to carve a swath through her opponents as a much more serious competitor who quickly rose in popularity.
After feeling unsatisfied with what the developmental territory could offer, she moved on to bigger things in January 2017. She joined the professional circuit and was offered a New Generation Wrestling contract.
In NGW, Coda indeed kept the in-ring moniker she has been known for since training under the Matthews Enterprises-owned developmental territory and debuted on live television. She quickly aligned herself with a group calling themselves The Destroyers; a nickname others have since adopted for her as an individual after the stable disbanded. In time, she became the NGW Young Lions Champion for 204 days. Until Damon Graves held the title until the closure of the company, Coda remained the second longest-reigning champion in all of NGW's incarnations since its start in April 2015. She is officially recognized as the fourth longest-reigning champion now.
After a short stint in CWC's Liberty Pro, Coda was signed to compete in REBELLION Pro UK's Grand Prix tournament in 2018. During the tournament, she defeated Dante Cutler clean to become the Ballroom Champion in an upset. For the majority of the Grand Prix tournament, she held the number one spot in her block until outside interference caused her to fall to the third spot on the night the semi-finals were determined. She didn't make the cut, but she kept her Ballroom Championship until she lost it to White in a triple threat match without getting pinned. The two continued to fight until Coda won the title back at Volume 50. She's since held the title a record five times before moving on to other things within the company 'til its most recent indefinite hiatus.
While all of this was happening, Coda was asked to sign a contract with Southside Wrestling too. Once she did, her most notable battles in Southside have been against Zane Chamberlin. Since then, she competed against deathmatch extraordinaires Lisa Seldon and Aries Reed for the Parkcore Championship in a triple threat match and won. Coda had since lost the Parkcore Championship and decided not to renew her SSW contract soon after.

Entrance Theme: "My Name Is Human" by Highly Suspect
Entrance Description:
The venue's lights blink dark as the familiar sharp, distorted wail signals the beginning of Highly Suspect's anthem. This wills those in their seats to stand in anticipation. Once on a vertical base, the fans make their presence felt with cheers and hollers. All of them look towards the feminine silhouette illuminated by a spotlight at the stage's entrance while an abundance of blue-dyed mist collects at its feet. As Coda steps out of the shadows, she adjusts tonight's blue oni-mouthed face mask that conceals her nose and mouth while she stands at the stage with her 33-inch kanabō war club raised in her right hand for all to see with her head tilted back. The audience erupts in audible approval, her blue, black, and white thigh-length trench coat matching the style of the rest of her attire.
The Pint-Sized Kaiju drags her weapon of folklore through the aisle blanketed in colored smoke until she slings the iron-studded tapered staff over her shoulder. Her fingers glide along the apron as she strolls towards the steel steps. Once she removes her jacket, folds it carefully, and tucks it beside the stairs, Coda steps onto the apron and climbs the turnbuckle. "My Name Is Human" continues to blare through the arena when she stands atop the corner with her kanabō casually resting over her shoulder while her mask continues to hide her expression aside from her unsettling gaze. The SRW crowd hit the Korean American with a boisterous round of applause before she pops into the ring and slinks into a seated position on the canvas. With one bent knee and her back against the turnbuckle, she drops her weapon to ringside and properly removes her mask.
----------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: Hardcore Strong Style
Strengths:
- HYPERFOCUS: When it’s time to fight, Coda uses intense concentration and self-control to assure the things that would typically negatively affect her senses don't bother her while the opponents take precedence, but it's mentally exhausting.
- PAIN RESISTANT: She has a hyposensitivity to pain, too. This means she hardly flinches or shows distress in response to levels of pain others might consider unbearable. She’s aware she’s been hit, and she isn’t invulnerable in the slightest, but she doesn’t feel the pain as acutely as others do. Some speculate this high pain tolerance is more about Coda's outward response to the same pain everyone else feels instead but it's still inconclusive.
- STRONG STYLE: While slower than most competitors of her size, Coda has been praised for her hard-hitting strikes with the intent to overwhelm her opponent by applying constant pressure with everything in her no-nonsense arsenal. She thrives on dominance when she controls the pace.
- TOOLS OF THE BATTLEFIELD: Coda has been known to utilize her environment as a weapon including the ring itself, the ring apron outside the ropes, the ring posts, and the barricade at ringside. She's aware of her opponent's placement during submissions and pins, too. This is to avoid rope breaks as much as possible.
- WEAR DOWN SUBMISSIONS: She wears her opponent down physically and mentally with submissions throughout the match.
Weaknesses:
- BLINDED BY RED: While she doesn’t have a short fuse, the typically stoic Coda tends to grow angry when she’s disrespected enough near the end of the match via taunts, words, or the opponent altogether underestimating her abilities. She’s much more dangerous when she’s calm, so this shift in emotion could lead to her downfall.
- CODE OF HONOR: The Young Lioness sees nothing gained by winning a match using underhanded techniques, so she actively avoids count-outs and dissuades interferences on her behalf even if it leaves her at a disadvantage. She’ll release a submission after the rope break (except during her Overture rope-hung cross armbreaker submission for obvious reasons), will invite her adversary to strike first in a match, and even occasionally gives a weapon to an opponent if she wields a weapon of her own to even the odds.
- AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER: Fast high-flying opponents are a particular challenge. Coda is slower than most competitors of her size so she'll need to ground them if she wants to do damage.
- AGAINST THE TIDE: In a defensive position, Coda will have some trouble regaining control of the match.
- SENSORY OVERLOAD: After the draining experience, Coda’s priority is to withdraw to a quiet spot backstage. She prefers to be left alone after what happens post-match for the next few segments throughout the night. In other words, Coda won't be able to leave this spot or assist her allies in the ring during this time.
Finishing Moves:
- Symphonic Elbow — running jumping elbow strike with the opponent leaning against the turnbuckle, barricade, ring apron, ring post, etc. after a setup taunt in a front stance (often from another corner while in the ring). This could bloody her opponent, or even lead to a knockout. While focused forward, Coda's vulnerable from the sides. She's temporarily in a vulnerable state if the elbow strike misses its mark, too.
- Rhapsody — duck under leg trip takedown transitioned into an arm triangle choke with body scissors. Though, if she can get behind her opponent, she can attempt to pull them down into an arm triangle choke with body scissors from almost anywhere.
- Magnum Opus — With the opponent at an elevated position (usually on the turnbuckle), Coda will attempt to counter by joining them, then transition into an avalanche Death Valley driver to the ring apron, to ringside, onto a weapon, etc. This is a relatively rare desperation finisher capable of either knocking her opponent out or ending the bout via referee stoppage. This cannot be done to 250-pound heavyweights or heavier. It hurts Coda, too.
Signature Moves:
- Sonata Knee — running high knee to the head.
- Overture — rope-hung cross armbreaker; precedes Crescendo signature.
- Crescendo — tornado DDT into guillotine choke; proceeds Overture signature.

- ankle lock
