MAE YOUNG CLASSIC Competitor Serena Deeb Signs With WWE As A Coach For The NXT Women's Division
We recently reported that WWE may be looking to rehire former Straight Edge Society member and Mae Young Classic competitor Serena Deeb, and it's now been announced that she'll be training the ladies of NXT...
Last month, we got word that WWE was interested in working with Serena Deeb - who fans will no doubt remember as the bald-headed member of CM Punk's Straight Edge Society many years ago - following her gutsy performance in The Mae Young Classic.
At the time we were led to believe that Deeb would be returning as an in-ring competitor, but it doesn't look like that'll be the case.
WWE has officially announced that the popular independent star will actually join the NXT brand as a trainer for the women's division.
The NXT Women’s division has only been around for a few years, but as the springboard for the Women’s Evolution, its legend already looms large. That’s where Serena Deeb comes in. A former acolyte of CM Punk’s Straight Edge Society (you might remember her getting her head shaved in the middle of the ring), Deeb resurfaced as a competitor in last summer’s Mae Young Classic and was recently named the newest Women’s coach at the WWE Performance Center.
Of course, Serena could also appear on TV as a wrestler at some point down the line, but for now she'll be sharing her wealth of experience with NXT's up-and-coming crop of female Superstars.
