Bayley’s Lodestone Seminar Highlights Uncomfortable Truth About Florida Indies
The wrestling world is abuzz about an all-women’s seminar led by WWE superstar Bayley; John Cena and others also joined in to break things down. One attendee was 18-year-old Izzy Moreno — the lifelong Bayley superfan.
Izzy is talented, hungry, and one of the feel-good stories of 2025… BUT, she’s also a regular at Chasyn Rance’s Team Vision Dojo and has worked multiple Atomic Legacy Wrestling-affiliated shows in central Florida.
That includes the July card where several performers, like Elayna Black, quietly withdrew after warning signs. I contacted Elayna about Atomic and also reached out to Izzy. One is now making millions for smiling, while the other is caught up with a child sex predator, all thanks to her role model, Bayley!
Chasyn Rance, a convicted child sex offender, was charged with six felonies earlier this year, which the pro-wrestling media largely did not report.
The Lodestone camp was held December 4–6 at Flatbacks in Orlando — literally 12 minutes door-to-door from Team Vision. That proximity isn’t a conspiracy; it’s geography. Central Florida only has so many rings.
But when one of the most high-profile free training camps in women’s wrestling history invites a trainee who is actively tied to a registered sex offender’s promotion, it raises fair questions:
Was the vetting process only looking at match footage and years of experience… or also at who signs talent and promoters?
When a teenager who trains with Rance every week is standing in the group photo with Charlotte, Natalya, Rhea, and Cena’s notes, what message does that accidentally send to the next wave of 14- and 15-year-olds scrolling Instagram?
Nobody is saying Izzy did anything wrong by attending — she’s chasing the same dream every rookie chases, and Bayley has been her hero since she was ten.
The issue is the blind spot: a camp designed to protect and elevate women somehow platformed someone still inside the exact pipeline most veterans warn against.
Izzy wasn’t a one-off guest worker for Rance— she’s a regular. And regulars talk. It’s not hard to imagine casual conversation in the locker room:
“Hey, if you ever need extra ring time, there’s a really great dojo like ten minutes from here…”
That’s how the cycle keeps spinning.
Bayley’s heart is clearly in the right place — she paid for the entire camp out of pocket. But good intentions don’t automatically disinfect bad affiliations. Real mentorship means asking the hard questions before the group photo, not after.
The indie scene can keep celebrating “next generation” stories all it wants. Just make sure the next generation isn’t being quietly steered right back to the same old problems.
