Priscilla Kelly breaks silence after scare ends first post WWE match
Priscilla Kelly, formerly known to WWE fans as Gigi Dolin, had her first independent wrestling appearance since her WWE release cut short due to an unexpected health scare. Wrestling her fiancé, TNA star Zachary Wentz, at Pro Wrestling REVOLVER's Cage of Horrors 4 event in Clive, Iowa, Kelly appeared to suffer a knee injury mid-match, forcing officials to halt the bout.
With fans immediately expressing concern, speculation grew around the severity of the injury, especially given this was her return bout after being let go in WWE's May budget cuts.
Priscilla Kelly calls it a lifelong anatomical issue
Shortly after the event, Kelly took to social media to clarify the situation. 'My patella came out of place. It does that from time to time,' she wrote on X. 'It's an anatomy issue I've had my whole life… it just hurts a good bit and I have to 'pop' it back in place.'
Emphasising that it wasn't a new or serious injury, Kelly reassured her supporters that this condition had never kept her from completing matches before. 'Sorry, guys,' she added in a brief apology to fans who attended the show.
While many fans responded with warmth and relief, posting messages like 'Just glad you're okay' and 'You've got this' - not everyone was entirely satisfied. One user criticised the lack of prior notice about her missing the show's meet-and-greet, saying, 'Paid money just to see you...

Revolver should've let fans know.'
Even so, most replies echoed one sentiment: appreciation for her transparency and hopes for a smooth recovery.
Demonstrating her signature confidence, Kelly confirmed that she will still wrestle AEW's Robyn Renegade at Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment's June 21 event. When asked whether wrestling so soon was advisable, she quipped, 'To absolutely CRANK my hog? Yes, worth it.
And I don't get paid in peanuts anymore, it's imported walnuts.'
Before her match, Priscilla Kelly shared an emotional promo, reflecting on her WWE exit. She admitted to nearly losing herself in the process, calling it a moment that felt 'like a death.'
Rather than stepping away, she's using the release as a reset. 'Show everyone what I'm capable of. Break every assumption, every doubt,' she said, vowing to return stronger than ever.
Now back as Priscilla Kelly on the independent scene, she's determined to take back control - on her own terms. With upcoming matches lined up and fan support pouring in, her comeback story is just getting started.

WWE SmackDown results and highlights (8/15/2025): Alexa Bliss takes down Piper Niven, Street Profits stay winning, Sami Zayn, Jacob Fatu, & Jimmy Uso defeat MFT, and more
WWE SmackDown (Image via WWE) WWE 's Friday Night SmackDown's August 15th edition took place live from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. As the promotion inches towards its upcoming PLE, Clash in Paris, WWE is now using the time to further develop the storylines currently working. From Randy Orton to Drew McIntyre to the MFTs, many prominent stars are set to make an appearance tonight. And the Boston crowd looked ready to welcome everyone in their midst. Newly crowned WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, and WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton have also been advertised for tonight. And one half of the newest Tag team champions, Alexa Bliss , is set to take on Secret Hervice member Piper Niven. Let's see what tonight has in store for the fans. The night starts with the MFTs making their entrance, as Solo Sikoa reminds everyone that he and, by extension, their group run SmackDown. Before they can make any more tall claims, Sami Zayn comes in, who remembers he has never held the United States Championship. And maybe it's time to do that. Zayn also announced that he is now on SmackDown, and the confrontation soon turns into a fight. But it's not a fair fight from the beginning, as Sami Zayn is fighting all the members of MFT on his own. But not for long, as first Jimmy Uso , and then Jacob Fatu come in to even out the odds. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis then comes out on stage to welcome the newest member of the division and announces that Sami Zayn is now the main event for tonight in a trio match, teaming with Jim Uso and Jacob Fatu against any three members of the MFTs. Alexa Bliss vs. Piper Niven The first match of the night belonged to Alexa Bliss and Piper Niven. Charlotte Flair, Alba Fyre, and Chelsea Green are also present. Niven comes in strong in the first few minutes, and Green runs interference for her, but soon, Bliss has had enough. She goes for a series of somersault sentons, followed by a DDT. Green tries to interfere again, but Flair is there to trip her up this time. Alba Fyre also tries to help Niven, but Bliss knocks her down. The match ends soon enough, after Little Miss Bliss defeats Niven with a schoolboy pin. Alexa Bliss wins via pinfall. Unfortunately, in the post-game chaos, Green and her Secret Hervice members overwhelm the WWE Women's Tag team champions, and stand tall saluting the audience while Bliss and Flair are lying on the mat. Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) vs. Melo Don't Miz (Carmelo Hayes & the Miz ) The Miz and Axiom start the match, but fans also see Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis in the crowd, which seems to distract Miz. It's a series of Monkey flip, stereo bridges, enzuigiri, and DDT. Tags come one after the other, and the Fraxiom looks to be in control in the first half. In the last few moments, fans see Melo Hayes hit a final cut off the top, and while he had other plans, The Miz manages to tag himself in and goes for a Skull-Crushing Finale on Frazier. Melo is stunned by the sudden move, but they are the winners. Melo Don't Miz win via pinfall. Jade Cargill, who a few minutes back was confronting Jade Cargill and Nia Jax backstage, now meets Kiana James. James tells her she could team up with Giulia if Stratton wanted backup, but the latter brushes her off and walks away after a brief conversation. Mia Yim then comes in with a kendo stick over her shoulder and informs James that Giulia is set to fight her next. Next up, Drew McIntyre gets on the stage and addresses the situation with Cody Rhodes, and explains why he hit Rhodes with a Claymore. He has a speech prepared it seems, and gives the audience a glimpse into his plans. He is not the bad guy, but if provoked, he won't hesitate to do bad things. Lastly, he wishes for Rhodes to get well soon and takes the exit, but not before hitting the fans with a smug grin. #DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) vs. Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) Tommaso Ciampa and Montez Ford start the fight, and #DIY lo oka to be in control at the beginning. A Penalty Kick from the apron, Candice LaRae throwing B-Fab into the steel steps, a Knee Trembler, a Fairytale Ending, a Frankensteiner off the apron by LeRae, who later gets wiped by B-Fab, and finally Ford off the top with the splash later, we have a winner. With a lateral press from Angelo Dawkins on Tommaso Ciampa, the fight comes to an end. Street Profits win via pinfall. Backstage, Melo Hayes comes up to SmackDown GM Nick Aldis, who is chatting with Motor City Machine Guns, and asks for a United States Championship match. But The Miz rolls in to play peacemaker. MCMG mocks Melo, and Aldis stops things from escalating by announcing another tag team match for next week - MCMG vs. Melo Don't Miz. We then see R-Truth backstage, who is over the moon to have his childhood hero, John Cena back. But suddenly, Aleister Black comes in to ask Truth if he was this excited about his other friend, Damian Priest. The former gets serious, and Black says he will see him next week before walking off. Sami Zayn, Jacob Fatu, & Jimmy Uso vs. MFTs (JC Mateo, Solo Sikoa, & Tonga Loa) Jimmy Uso and JC Mateo start off the last match of the night, and Big Jim is all over JC within minutes. Tag goes to Sami Zayn, who comes in with a diving axhandle to the elbow. Tonga Loa gets tagged in next, but at the corner, Solo Sikoa chokes Zayn, while Talla Tonga, who is not in the match tonight, gets in a cheap shot as well. Zayn is in the ring for a while, unable to tag in his partners, as Sikoa and the MFT take turns dominating him. Zayn gets in a few good hits from time to time, but mostly he is the one taking the hits. It takes a while, but he finally manages to tag Jacob Fatu in, who charges in at Loa. The match finally ends with quite a few things happening simultaneously. Fatu hits Talla Tonga, who tried to run interference, with a superkick and sends him over the announcer's desk. Zayn, on the other hand, manages to block a Samoan Spike with a knee and throws Sikoa into the corner with the exploder suplex. Finally, with a Helluva Kick from Zayn on Sikoa, the match comes to an end. Sami Zayn, Jacob Fatu, & Jimmy Uso win via pinfall.
