The Bunny is coming back to wrestling!
On August 30, 2025, the former Impact Knockouts Champion posted a video on Instagram of her getting back into training for pro wrestling. Allie aka The Bunny is mainly known for her time in TNA/Impact as Allie. However, once she left the promotion in 2019, she joined her husband The Blade and his tag team partner, The Butcher in AEW.
The Bunny mostly served as a valet, though she had a couple of matches here and there, including an extremely violent tag team street fight with The Bunny & Penelope Ford against Anna Jay & Tay Conti. The Bunny was with the promotion until 2023 and she opted to walk away from AEW.
Following her AEW stint, Allie decided to take a break from wrestling. She’s been in the business for 19 years and took a break. Now she’s making a comeback and the former AEW star talks about her return to professional wrestling.
“I haven’t had an actual wrestling match in, shit, I think it might be two years. So many things have changed in my life, and something in me just felt like I wanted to get back in the ring and see how it feels,” she said in a new Instagram video. “Not only did I not have a match, but like, I hadn’t trained, I hadn’t bumped, I hadn’t been in wrestling at all for quite a long time, maybe the last couple months, I started feeling like I really missed it in a way that I honestly didn’t expect.
“This year has been really hard. Sometimes, when you’re in a dark place, it’s hard to step outside of yourself and see that there are still good things in the world and there are good things for you to experience as well. I didn’t realize how much wrestling brought me joy until I hit rock bottom, and wrestling was like a little bit of a light in the storm,” she continued.
“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. 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 [frick]ing commitment, like I really had to consider it.”
The 38-year-old noted how painful it was to get back into the ring, but it also felt good to wrestle again.
“It hurts so bad at first bump, you guys, I started hitting the ropes. Oh my god. It was really painful, but 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 dark place where it just feels like it’s never-ending. Sometimes, rock bottom is the best place to pick yourself up and start your life in the direction that you want it to go.
If you are in the same kind of spot that I’m at, where days are just sometimes really hard, and you just are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I promise you, it is there. It is there. There are things in life that will bring you joy again. You will find it, and you will find your happiness again. I promise I love you guys. Yay, wrestling.”
Where will Allie go? That’s probably thinking too far ahead, though she does have ties to TNA Wrestling and AEW, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if she showed up there.
