Gigi Dolin has made a notable return to her original ring name, Priscilla Kelly, following her release from WWE on May 1. This change signals a fresh start in her wrestling journey as she embraces her former identity, marking a significant shift in her career.
Dolin transitioned to Priscilla Kelly shortly after her departure from WWE, effectively rebooting her wrestling persona. She has updated her social media accounts to reflect this change, representing both a revival and a reconnection with her roots in the wrestling scene. During her time in WWE, Dolin achieved notable success, including two NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion titles, but was reportedly let go due to concerns about her commitment to training.
In response to these claims, Kelly has asserted her dedication to her craft, revealing her rigorous training regimen of 3-4 days a week, emphasizing her focus on cardio and working with top instructors. This commitment underscores her aim to evolve as a wrestler while returning to the identity that initially propelled her into the spotlight.
Her previous ring name “Gigi Aileen,” inspired by punk rock icon GG Allin, was rejected by WWE due to its implications connected to serial killer Aileen Wuornos. As a result, Dolin adopted the name Gigi Dolin, a choice that now seems to be a stepping stone back to her true self as Priscilla Kelly. This rebranding reflects her desire to reconnect with her original, edgy persona that earned her a following in the independent wrestling circuit.
Fans are now eagerly anticipating her next steps in the world of wrestling, as Priscilla Kelly aims to carve out her rightful place in the industry after her WWE experience. The wrestling community is keenly watching her journey, hopeful for her success and the new directions she may take in her career.
