Allie, who also went by “The Bunny” in AEW, has recently started training to get back into the ring. Nearly two years ago in November 2023, Allie departed from AEW and subsequently moved on from wrestling. She appeared at a TNA event in May of this year.
In August, the former two-time TNA Knockouts Champion showed a video of her getting back in the ring. Today, Allie posted on Instagram where she is at right now, what she’s been through, and more.
“I haven’t had an actual wrestling match in, shit, I think it might be two years. So many things have changed in my life, and something in me just felt like I wanted to get back in the ring and see how it feels. Not only did I not have a match, but like, I hadn’t trained, I hadn’t bumped, I hadn’t been in wrestling at all for quite a long time, maybe the last couple months, I started feeling like I really missed it in a way that I honestly didn’t expect.
“This year has been really hard. Sometimes, when you’re in a dark place, it’s hard to step outside of yourself and see that there are still good things in the world and there are good things for you to experience as well. I didn’t realize how much wrestling brought me joy until I hit rock bottom, and wrestling was like a little bit of a light in the storm,” she continued. “I told you guys before that I did like a little TNA one-off. It was my first time in a really, really, really long time that I had been in wrestling in some capacity. So I do this thing. It was like in real time, it was pulling me out of the dark hole I had been sitting in. I didn’t want to rush back into the ring until I knew for sure that this wasn’t just like a fleeting feeling, like this was something that I actually really wanted, because being a wrestler takes a lot of fucking commitment, like I really had to consider it.”
She continues, “It hurts so bad at first bump, you guys, I started hitting the ropes. Oh my god. It was really painful, but honestly, it felt so good. Anyone that is going through a really rough patch when it feels like joy is not in reach, and you’re just in that dark place where it just feels like it’s never-ending. Sometimes, rock bottom is the best place to pick yourself up and start your life in the direction that you want it to go. If you are in the same kind of spot that I’m at, where days are just sometimes really hard, and you just are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I promise you, it is there. It is there. There are things in life that will bring you joy again. You will find it, and you will find your happiness again. I promise I love you guys. Yay, wrestling.”
