"I don't need to shake my a**"- Former WWE Star on Major Realization After Release

ByM WatsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

A former WWE star has created a whole new version of herself and delivered a powerful statement.

She is none other than Zoey Serrano, fka Zoey Stark. The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion made her shocking TNA debut by attacking Indi Hartwell two weeks ago. On this week’s episode of Impact, Serrano appeared in a vignette to reflect on her beginnings in a new promotion.

Serrano reflected on her wrestling career, which went strong for years until she injured her knee on RAW in 2025 and was released this year. However, Serrano realized she needed to be true to herself and not use tactics like a viral video or shaking her a** to reach the top, leading to her TNA debut.

One fateful night changed my life forever like that. 14 years of blood, sweat and tears gone. I had to evaluate myself, where did I go wrong … and it finally clicked, I wasn’t staying true to who I was. No, I wanted to make everyone out there happy. See, now while I am here at TNA, all of that has changed. I don’t need to shake my a**, I don’t need the 15 second viral video, none of that, no. I need to stay true to who I am and to show the world that I am who I say I am and that I am the very best when it comes to this business. I am the pinnacle, nobody in this locker room can lace my boots.

Furthermore, Serrano concluded her statement with a warning for the entire TNA Knockouts division.

So ladies whether you like it or not, you are looking at the new face of the Knockouts division, Zoey Serrano i.e the pierce mentality.

Zoey Serrano had her TNA debut match, teaming up with Xia Brookside to compete against Indi Hartwell and Harley Hudson in a tag team bout last week. She emerged victorious, having a strong start to her tenure in TNA Wrestling.

With Serrano making a huge statement this week, it seems that she is ready to make a major impact in the Knockouts division.
