HADAR HORVITZ & ORI GOLD
Ori and Hadar are an Israeli tag team known as Better Together, a duo built on real-life friendship, sharp humor, and a dynamic in-ring style that blends power with personality. They met through the Israeli wrestling scene and became instant creative partners, eventually rising from local shows to international recognition. Their chemistry is their superpower: they live together, train together, and travel the world wrestling together, turning their shared story into a brand built on resilience, playfulness, and that very Israeli mix of chutzpah and charm. They’ve performed everywhere from small DIY venues to major wrestling promotions, drawing fans with their energy, teamwork, and the kind of comedic timing that makes their matches feel like part athletic showcase, part sitcom.
AVIV BRUNO
Aviv Bruno (formerly Aviv Melmed) is reality-TV legend. Born in Columbus, Ohio, Aviv holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Israel. After graduating early, she served in the Israeli Air Force, driven by a strong sense of duty. She made her name on The Challenge: Fresh Meat, where she teamed up with Darrell Taylor and dominated — she won the season, proving herself both smart and resilient. After stepping away for 18 years to focus on her family and career, Aviv made a dramatic return in The Challenge: Battle of the Eras, joining the “Johnny’s Angels” alliance. Along the way, she revealed she’s more than just a quiet competitor — she’s strategic, mentally tough, and still has that fire. Off-camera, she’s built a full life: married, mom of two, with a master’s in exercise physiology.
