Kimber Lee makes Impact Wrestling debut
A new addition to the Knockouts division emerged on this week’s episode of Impact.
Kimber Lee made her Impact debut in a segment that aired on this week’s show. It set up that Lee will make her Impact in-ring debut against Jessicka Havok next Tuesday.
Havok was the guest on Madison Rayne’s Locker Room Talk segment on this week’s episode of Impact. Rayne asked Havok about losing to Rosemary in their Full Metal Mayhem match at Rebellion and Nevaeh appearing in the arena and watching the match. Havok said Nevaeh is an old friend, but she doesn’t know why she’s here.
Rayne revealed that she had a surprise for Havok and said Nevaeh wasn’t Havok’s only old friend in Impact. She then introduced Lee as her next guest. Lee said she might be new around here, but Havok knows exactly who she is. Lee called herself the crown jewel and said she’s ready to rise to the top. Havok responded by saying she knows who Lee is, but Lee knows exactly who Havok is too.
Lee tweeted after her debut aired: “THATS RIGHT IM HERE!! AND ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME THE CROWN JEWEL SHOWED UP #CrownJewel #IMPACTonAXSTV”
An independent wrestling standout, Lee reported to the WWE Performance Center in January 2017 and used the name Abbey Laith in NXT prior to being released in 2018. She was one of the entrants in the inaugural Mae Young Classic.
Impact’s tournament to decide a new number one contender to Tessa Blanchard’s Impact World Championship will kick off with two first round matches next week: Rohit Raju vs. Trey Miguel and Hernandez vs. Madman Fulton. Moose will also defend his TNA World Heavyweight title belt against Suicide.
