Priscilla Kelly’s first post-WWE match stopped early due to patella displacement
Priscilla Kelly (formerly NXT’s Gigi Dolin) wrestled her first post-WWE match this weekend.
She faced her fiancé, TNA’s Zachary Wentz, on Saturday for Wrestling Revolver in Clive, Iowa. However, the match was stopped early after Kelly suffered a patella displacement.
Kelly posted to social media after the event: “My patella came out of place. It does that from time to time. It’s an anatomy issue I’ve had my whole life, and I’ve managed to always work through it, even sometimes continuing matches after it happens. It’s not an ‘injury’, it just hurts a good bit and I have to ‘pop’ it back in place. Now ya know. Sorry, guys.”
She added, “I promise I’ll make it up to everyone.”
Recovery time for a displaced patella (kneecap) can vary depending on severity, but Kelly says she still plans to make her bookings next weekend.
“This weekend. I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t care. I’m coming to absolutely CRANK my hog,” she wrote.
When asked if it was a good idea to wrestle or “crank her hog” considering her knee issue, Kelly replied:

Kelly’s WWE contract was not renewed and her departure was part of the company’s May 2 budget cuts. She had been with WWE since 2021 and is a two-time NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Jacy Jayne. Her final match in NXT was a loss alongside Tatum Paxley in a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on the April 22 edition of NXT. Her final match under WWE contract took place in TNA Wrestling as part of the companies’ talent exchange partnership. Dolin and Paxley were part of a four-way Knockouts Tag Team Championship match at TNA Rebellion, which was won by Ash and Heather of By Elegance.
