On March 17, 2015, it was reported that Aliyah had signed a developmental contract with WWE. Her signing was confirmed by WWE on April 13. She made her first appearance at the NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable event on May 20, as part of Tyler Breeze's entrance. She made her in–ring debut on June 20 during an NXT live event, where she competed in a six–person tag team match.
Aliyah's television debut took place on the January 13, 2016, episode of NXT, where she competed in a number one contender's battle royal for Bayley's NXT Women's Championship, which was won by Carmella. On the April 27 episode of NXT, Aliyah competed in her first televised singles match, where she lost to Carmella. Towards the end of the year, Aliyah debuted new ring gear and entrance music, leaving her Arabian gimmick, and picked up her first victory as part of the brand, as she defeated Billie Kay after a distraction by Liv Morgan, only for both of them to be attacked by Kay and Peyton Royce. This set a six–woman tag team match between Aliyah, Morgan and Ember Moon against The Iconic Duo (Kay and Royce) and Daria Berenato, that was taped on NXT TakeOver: Toronto on November 19, where Aliyah's team was victorious.
On January 3, 2017, Aliyah made her first main roster appearance as she appeared on SmackDown Live, where she lost to Carmella. Throughout 2018, Aliyah continued losing to various competitors such as Lacey Evans, Ember Moon and Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane, while also showing signs of a heel turn. In September, Aliyah, now officially working as a heel, started a short alliance with Evans, and the two had an altercation with Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo, which led to a tag team match, where Aliyah and Evans were victorious, making Aliyah's first victory in over a year.
After some time away, on the February 13, 2019, episode of NXT, Aliyah returned working full time, as she defeated Taynara Conti after interference from Vanessa Borne. The duo then started an alliance and picked up their first victory against Conti and Xia Li, two weeks later on the February 27 episode. On the November 13 episode of NXT, Aliyah would suffer a broken nose after taking a stiff kick in a match against Xia Li, losing in the process.
Aliyah returned to in ring competition on the March 25, 2020 edition of NXT, where she lost to Io Shirai in an NXT Women's Championship number one contendership qualifying match. Aliyah had a match a few weeks later against Li in a losing effort. On the May 6 episode of NXT, she helped Chelsea Green get a victory over Li and tried to join the Robert Stone Brand. The following week, on the May 13 episode of NXT, she tried to impress Stone in a match against Kayden Carter, which she lost; when she tried to ask him if she could join his brand, he turned her down. Stone eventually changed his mind and officially joined forces with Aliyah on the June 17 episode of NXT, after he helped her get a victory over Xia Li. Aliyah and Stone would feud with Rhea Ripley as she lost to her on the June 24 episode of NXT. The following week on night one of NXT The Great American Bash, Aliyah competed alongside Stone against Ripley in a handicap match, with the stipulation that if Ripley lost then she would join the Robert Stone Brand, but they were defeated.
On the July 13, 2021, edition of NXT, Aliyah turned on Stone after losing a tag team match with herself and Jessi Kamea against Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter, turning face in the process.
On the October 2 edition of Talking Smack, it was announced that Aliyah was drafted to SmackDown as a part of the 2021 WWE Draft. Aliyah made her official SmackDown debut on the November 5 episode, where she participated in a backstage segment with Jeff Hardy and Sami Zayn. The following week on the November 12 episode of SmackDown, Aliyah would have her debut match with the brand competing as a face teaming with Naomi and Sasha Banks to score a win over Shotzi, Shayna Baszler and Natalya with Aliyah pinning the latter to get the win for her team. Later in the night, Sonya Deville removed her from the SmackDown Survivor Series team. The following episode of SmackDown, she once again teamed up with Naomi to face Baszler and Natalya, but lost after a fast count from the referee. On the January 14, 2022 episode of SmackDown, Aliyah set a new record for the fastest victory in WWE history after beating Natalya in 3.17 seconds. On the August 29 edition of Raw, Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez defeated Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky to win the vacant WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, her first championship in WWE. On the September 12 episode of Raw, they lost the titles to Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky, ending their reign at fourteen days. Aliyah would soon take a hiatus due to injury. On September 21, 2023, without making a single television appearance during the year, Aliyah was released from her WWE contract.
