Former WWE wrestler Zoey Stark, now performing as Zoey Serrano, has debuted in TNA Wrestling. During an episode of ‘iMPACT!’, Serrano made a surprise appearance during a confrontation between Indi Hartwell and Daria Rae, attacking Hartwell and leaving her incapacitated in the ring.

Serrano, who previously competed in TNA between 2019 and 2020, aligned herself with TNA Director of Operations Daria Rae. Following her debut, Serrano announced that her finishing move, previously known as ‘Z-360’, will now be called ‘Hell And Back!’. 

Her transition to TNA follows her April 2026 release from WWE. Serrano had been recovering from significant injuries sustained in May 2025, including a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. She noted that the departure from WWE was emotionally devastating and that she had nearly considered retiring from professional wrestling.

By her third week with the promotion, Serrano addressed her wrestling journey in a vignette on ‘Impact’, emphasizing a purist approach to the sport. She expressed a desire to remain true to her identity, stating, “I don’t need to shake my ass, I don’t need the 15-second viral video.” Serrano positioned herself as the future face of the Knockouts division.
