Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day.
• WWE Hall Of Famer Is Returning For A Match After 15 Years
After 15 years away from competition, WWE Hall of Famer Queen Sharmell is making a return to the ring.
Sharmell will step back into action to face NWA star Tiffany Nieves at Reality of Wrestling’s No Limits event on May 10. The setup for this surprising matchup began when Nieves called out Sharmell during ROW’s PAY UP! event, leading to a heated confrontation that set the wheels in motion for Sharmell’s comeback.
Fans last saw Queen Sharmell wrestle on September 30, 2009, when she teamed with Booker T and Scott Steiner against Awesome Kong and Team 3D during TNA’s First Impact Tour.
While she’s been absent from the ring for a decade and a half, Sharmell has remained active in wrestling, working behind the scenes to help run Reality of Wrestling alongside her husband, Booker T.
Sharmell was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022.
