Tamara Lynn Sytch (born December 7, 1972), commonly known by her ring name Sunny, is an American former professional wrestling personality.

Sytch graduated from Cedar Ridge High School in Old Bridge Township, New Jersey, in 1990. Sytch was introduced to the professional industry by her longtime boyfriend Chris Candido (they attended the same highschool), and debuted in the Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW) territory in the early 1990s. During the later half of the 1990s, Sytch gained mainstream fame within the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later WWE) as Sunny, becoming one of the most popular figures in the company during the New Generation Era and early Attitude Era. WWE widely considers Sunny as their first Diva, and America Online named her the most downloaded celebrity on the internet in 1996. After departing the WWF in 1998, she appeared alongside Candido in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). After Candido's 2005 death, Sytch was active on the independent circuit until she retired in 2018. Lauded as one of the greatest managers in WWE history, she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011.

In late 1994, Sytch was contacted by the WWF, and she began appearing as Tamara Murphy, a commentator for "Live Event News" segments during syndicated WWF television shows. One month later, Candido joined the WWF, and the duo began appearing as Sunny and Skip, known collectively as The Bodydonnas. They were originally known as Team Spirit and booked as babyfaces, but were heavily booed by the crowd after they were recognized for their characters in Smokey Mountain Wrestling, thus turning villainous fitness fanatics. Zip (portrayed by Tom Prichard) later joined the team, and Sunny was in their corner when they won the Tag Team Championship over The Godwinns at WrestleMania XII. Weeks later, The Godwinns regained the championship, and Sunny turned on The Bodydonnas in favor of the new champions. She then turned on The Godwinns and helped The Smoking Gunns win the Tag Team Championship. After The Smokin' Gunns lost the title at In Your House 10: Mind Games, she fired them in the middle of the ring.

Her 1996 bikini issue of Raw Magazine made a record number of sales. The same year the internet company AOL announced that Sytch was the most downloaded woman on their website, surpassing various megastar celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Aniston, Mariah Carey and Cindy Margolis. During this time, she was heavily featured on numerous television programs such as MTV's Singled Out and Entertainment Tonight, becoming one of the preeminent figures in the company. Sytch then began acting as a host, ring announcer, special guest referee, commentator and timekeeper for several WWF television shows, including LiveWire and Shotgun Saturday Night. Meanwhile, Candido left the WWF for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and it was not long before she began making guest appearances with him in the promotion.

In 1998, Sunny returned from a brief hiatus and became the manager for Legion of Doom 2000, leading them to a win in a Tag Team Championship number one contender battle royal at WrestleMania XIV, turning face for the first time in her career. Sunny would continue to manage them until she was released in July 1998 amid rumors of backstage problems with Sable and an addiction to painkillers, as well as no-showing several appearances.

Both Sytch and Candido signed on with World Championship Wrestling (WCW). As in the past, Sytch's departure was surrounded by rumors of drug abuse.

On December 10, 2007, Sytch made a surprise appearance during the 15th anniversary of Raw. She was involved in a segment with Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, Triple H, Hornswoggle, Melina and WWE Hall of Famer Mae Young. During this time, she was officially recognized as WWE's original Diva. Sunny, once again, listed as one of the returning legends, participated at WrestleMania XXV on April 5, 2009, in the 25-Diva battle royal for the crown of "Miss WrestleMania", but was eliminated by Beth Phoenix. This was her only official WWE match. Sytch then returned on March 19, 2011, in a house show that took place at Madison Square Garden, where she served as the special guest referee between The Bella Twins against Kelly Kelly and the then-Divas Champion Eve Torres. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by the entire roster of WWE Divas on April 2, 2011.

Sytch claims to have had a nine-month relationship with Shawn Michaels in the mid-1990s. Sytch was also friends with Bret Hart and would entertain his children whenever they followed him on tour. On one episode of Raw in mid-1997, Michaels accused Hart of having an affair with Sytch; the "sunny days" promo would contribute greatly to the real-life animosity between the two men, to the point where they would eventually have a fight backstage several weeks later. Sytch would walk out of WWE on the night after Survivor Series that year, after WWF owner Vince McMahon double-crossed Hart — who was imminently due to leave for main competitor WCW — and cost Hart the WWF Championship in an unscripted incident known as the Montreal Screwjob.

From 2001 to 2003, Sytch regularly posed nude for Missy Hyatt's adult website Wrestling Vixxxens. In 2016, Vivid Entertainment released a pornographic film featuring Sytch titled Sunny Side Up: In Through the Backdoor. After being released from prison in 2020, Sytch created an OnlyFans account to upload adult-oriented content.


In 2012, Sytch was arrested five times in a four-week span, for disorderly conduct, third-degree burglary, and three counts of violating a protective order. She was arrested a sixth time in January 2013, also for violating a protective order. Sytch served 114 days in a Connecticut jail and was released in May 2013.

Throughout May and June 2015, Sytch was arrested in Pennsylvania three times for driving under the influence (DUI). Sytch pleaded guilty to all three charges in January 2016. A judge sentenced her to 90 days in jail on August 18, but counted her 97 days in rehab as time served. However, she was charged with violating her parole that September and remained in jail until February 3, 2017.

While on probation, Sytch was arrested in New Jersey for two DUIs on January 23 and February 2, 2018, and was also charged with fleeing the scene of an accident in relation to the February 2 arrest. After failing to appear in court for either case, she was arrested on February 27, 2018, for two fugitive from justice charges and six counts of contempt of court and was placed in the Monmouth County Correctional Institution. While she was being processed it was discovered that she was a fugitive from justice due to her parole in Pennsylvania having been revoked in August 2017. Sytch was subsequently extradited to Pennsylvania on March 23 and remained at the Carbon County Correctional Facility in Nesquehoning until she was paroled on October 9, 2018.

A bench warrant was issued for Sytch in Pennsylvania on February 15, 2019, and the Carbon County Probation Department filed a motion to revoke Sytch's October 2018 parole. She was arrested in Seaside Heights, New Jersey later that month for DUI and other driving offenses and subsequently released into the custody of the Holmdel Police Department after it was discovered that she had outstanding warrants in both Holmdel Township and Knowlton Township, New Jersey. She was charged with contempt of court on both warrants. On March 20, Sytch was extradited from Monmouth County back to Carbon County Correctional Facility to address her Pennsylvania charges. After over a year in prison, Sytch was released on February 25, 2020.

Sytch was arrested on July 13, 2020, for allegedly eluding a police officer, contempt/violation of a domestic violence restraining order, and operating a motor vehicle during a second license suspension. She was held at the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, and was released on June 9, 2021, due to a court order.

Sytch was once again arrested on January 13, 2022, in Keansburg, New Jersey, for unlawfully possessing a weapon and making terroristic threats. She was booked into the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, but released the following day after being ordered to check-in weekly with the court. The charges stem from an incident in which she allegedly threatened to murder an "intimate partner" with a pair of scissors. If convicted, Sytch faces 11 years in prison. She was arrested again a month later in Keansburg and charged with 11 driving offences, including DUI.

On March 25, 2022, Sytch was involved in a fatal car crash in Volusia County, Florida, that killed a 75-year-old man. According to a police report from the Ormond Beach Police Department, Sytch was driving a 2012 Mercedes-Benz when she crashed into the rear of a 2013 Kia Sorento that had been stopped at a stoplight. Witnesses told police that Sytch was driving at a high speed when she crashed into the Kia Sorento. Sytch was transported to the hospital with unknown injuries and a sample of her blood was taken for analysis. In May 2022, Sytch was arrested on DUI and manslaughter-related charges after toxicology reports found that her blood alcohol content was about 3.5 times the legal limit during the fatal car crash. After initially being released after posting $227,500 bond, a judge deemed her to be a danger to the community, revoked her bond six days later and returned her to jail. On August 16, 2023, Sytch pleaded no contest to the charges. She was sentenced to seventeen and a half years in prison and eight years probation on November 27, 2023 with credit for her 566 days already spent in jail. Her tentative release date is December 2039. Sytch was transferred from Central Florida Reception Center in Orlando to Lowell Correctional Institution in Marion County in February 2024.
