Priscilla Kelly Returns Independent Wrestling Injury Stops Match

Recently released WWE star Priscilla Kelly, formerly known as Gigi Dolin, made her return to the independent wrestling circuit but had her match stopped due to a recurring kneecap issue she has managed throughout her life. WWE's SmackDown show on June 13 featured opening rounds of the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments, with notable returns including Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, and potential backstage appearances by Kiana James and Hikuleo, fueling speculation about their returns or new storylines. Kiana James, sidelined since June 2024 with a leg injury, was spotted backstage at SmackDown, raising the possibility of her return, while Naomi, the Money in the Bank winner, and John Cena are expected to have significant roles following recent events. Former WWE star Mojo Rawley revealed he was once roommates with Bo Dallas, Tonga Loa, Tama Tonga, and Hikuleo during his early days at NXT's Performance Center, highlighting the close-knit nature of WWE rookies. Additionally, a backstage incident at a recent TNA event involving WWE NXT star Arianna Grace and TNA star Tessa Blanchard breaking a major rule about unapproved slaps led to a new policy requiring such spots be pre-approved by agents, underscoring the ongoing collaborative relationship between WWE and TNA, exemplified by WWE star Trick Williams winning the TNA World Title.
