Killer Kelly Makes IMPACT Wrestling Debut

The Knockouts roster has a new star. Killer Kelly is likely most known for her work on the independent circuit, specifically Pro Wrestling Eve and Westside Xtreme Wrestling in Europe. Fans may also know her from her brief stint in the WWE; Kelly competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic and on the NXT UK brand before being released in January 2020.

Now, however, she's set her target and is ready to wreak havoc on the women of IMPACT.

The Killer Has Arrived

Killer Kelly made her in-ring debut on tonight's episode of IMPACT on AXS TV. She made short work of her opponent; the match lasted only a couple minutes, during which Kelly devastated her opponent with hardhitting strikes and apt grappling. She won the match via submission by making her opponent tap with a rear naked choke.

Given her incredible stage presence and strength in the ring, it's hard to argue that a championship isn't in Kelly's future. However, the competition around her is steep; she'll be contending with the likes of technical wrestling genius Deonna Purrazzo, charismatic icon Taya Valkyrie, the demonic Rosemary, and the powerhouse (and current Knockouts champion) Jordynne Grace.

At 30 years old, Kelly has likely yet to hit her prime as a performer. Hopefully she's able to reach new heights in her career during her time with IMPACT.
