Former AEW star Allie, also known as The Bunny, said she recently reignited her passion for wrestling after hitting rock bottom.
She left AEW in November 2023 and stepped away from wrestling, marking nearly two years since her last match. Earlier this year, she appeared at TNA Border Brawl alongside other former WWE and AEW stars. However, she did not compete in the ring.
This week, Allie shared an Instagram video to update fans about her return. She admitted that she hadn’t trained or wrestled during her time away, but in recent months, she began to feel the desire to get back in the ring.
“Get ready with me, where we talk about where I’m at with my professional wrestling career… I haven’t had an actual wrestling match in sh*t, I think we’re, it might be two years. So many things have changed in my life. And something in me just felt like I want to get back in the ring and see how it feels.”
Allie admitted she hadn’t wrestled, trained, or even been involved in the ring for a long time. In recent months, she realized how much she missed it, especially after going through a difficult year. She said that wrestling became a source of joy during dark times and helped her find light when she hit rock bottom.
Former AEW star Allie says training pulled her out of a dark place
Former AEW star Allie spoke about her appearance at TNA Border Brawl and explained how it reignited her passion for wrestling. “So, I told you guys before that I did, like, a little TNA one-off. It was my first time in a really, really, really long time that I had been in wrestling in some capacity. So, I do this thing, and it was, like, in real time. It was pulling me out of the dark hole I had been sitting in.”
“I didn’t want to rush back into the ring until I knew for sure that this wasn’t just, like, a fleeting feeling like this was something that I actually really wanted because being a wrestler takes a lot of fucking commitment. I really had to consider it. And, you guys, I decided to train. I got in the ring. It hurt so bad.”
“At first bump, you guys, I started hitting the ropes. Oh my god, like, it was really painful, but, like, honestly, it felt so good. Anyone that is going through a really rough patch, when it feels like joy is not in reach and you’re just in that, like, dark place where it just feels like it’s never-ending oh, shit. Sometimes rock bottom is the best place to pick yourself up and start your life in the direction that you want it to go.”
