Description:
Maeve and Moira Kane are so-called “Irish twins”, being born a mere ten months apart. As teenagers, elder sister Maeve and younger sister Moira trained to be professional wrestlers, intent on bringing some much-needed income to their poverty-stricken family. The Kanes traced their ancestry back to the ancient kings of Eire, hence taking the name “Ríúil”…Gaelic for Royal…as their team name.
Within months of their debut, the young Kanes had won the Ireland Tag Championship and were making frequent forays to the UK and onto the Continent to wrestle as well. That attracted the attention of FAWN, and they were invited to come to the United States.
Unlike a number of others teams, the Kanes balance their tagging with solo work, and have proven to not only be tag team champions, but individual title contenders as well.
