Taylor Wilde vs. Kimber Lee set for Impact Wrestling
For the first time in ten years, Taylor Wilde will step into a wrestling ring when she takes on Kimber Lee on Thursday’s Impact Wrestling.
Wilde’s return had been teased for weeks with vignettes and during Sunday’s Rebellion, she made her on-screen return following Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo’s successful title defense over Tenille Dashwood. As Purrazzo, Lee and Susan were attacking Dashwood after the match, Lee came out and took out both Lee and Susan before Purrazzo escaped.
The 35-year-old Canadian has been out of action since February 2011 and hasn’t wrestled for Impact since November 2010 when it was called TNA. She was with the company from 2008 through 2010 and retired to focus on studying for a psychology degree. She also trained to become a firefighter during that time, got married for a second time, and had a child.
She is both a former Knockouts Champion and half of the first-ever Knockouts Tag Team Champions with Sarita. She also held the titles with Hamada.
