Daphanie LaShaunn Makes History As First Black Female To Officiate WrestleMania

More history was made at WrestleMania. 

Daphanie LaShaunn (Aja Smith) became the first black female to officiate a match at WrestleMania 38. She was the official for The Mysterios (Rey & Dominik Mysterio) vs. The Miz & Logan Paul. 

LaShaunn posted the following comments on social media about her night: 

I’m really reffing my first mania. I’m really getting married. Two things I never expected. Been sitting here in silence just reflecting. It’s been a roller coaster these last few years. I was just trying to stay afloat and now I’m riding the waves bby. God is good all the time.
