Serena Deeb Returns to Wrestling; Jillian Hall Debuts w/ TNA

As we reported in our COMPLETE *SPOILER* FILLED COVERAGE, several former WWE and independent women’s wrestlers made their debut with TNA this past weekend at the company’s “Knockouts Knockdown” PPV taping.

Alissa Flash – also known as Cheerleader Melissa – made her return to TNA in a losing effort against Gail Kim.

Former WWE Tough Enough contestant Ivelisse Velez, who was recently featured in a TNA Gut Check segment, faced her most recent rival Lei’d Tapa.

Both Mia Yim and Santana Garrett made their debuts in singles matches.

Former WWE Diva Jillian Hall made her TNA debut, completely with bad singing gimmick and all, losing to Velvet Sky.

And finally, another former WWE Divas and member of CM Punk’s Straight Edge Society, Serena Deeb, made her long-awaited debut with TNA in the PPV’s main event singles match, against Mickie James. This was the first time Serena has been seen in a wrestling ring since suffering a potential career-ending concussion in 2011.
