Syaradeeba Khamarulzaman (born 13 December 1999) better known by her ring name Nor 'Phoenix' Diana is a Malaysian professional wrestler and is a self-proclaimed world's first hijab-wearing professional wrestler.

Professional wrestling career

Diana first started training with Shaukat in 2015 at Malaysia pro wrestling (MYPW). In 2016, MYPW would have its first public showcase where Diana competed in the company's first ever women's match, losing to Scarlet Lyd. On 8 December 2018, Diana competed in a 'Pride vs Mask' match which she lost and had to unmask herself revealing her hijab. She stated to Forbes that “when I took off my mask I had mixed feelings ... I felt sad because the mask was part of Phoenix, but I also felt a bit of relief because now I can show my face, and the fans can see the real Phoenix.” On 6 July 2019, Diana competed in a five-way match for the MYPW Wrestlecon Championship, where she defeated four men (including her trainer Shaukat) to become the first female champion. Her victory attracted worldwide attention after a retweet by Mustafa Ali of a news article about her victory.

On 5 May 2025, Diana competed in Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling (TJPW) and faced Raku for the SETUP All Asia Women's Championship which she lost. On 30 August, Diana defeated Zayda Steel to become the number one contender to the WWE Women's ID Championship.
