A former WWE Superstar, who was released earlier this year from the company, just returned to the ring after a long hiatus. The 32-year-old had been out of the squared circle for over 14 months with a serious injury.
Zoey Stark joined WWE in 2021 and, after three years in NXT, moved up to the main roster in 2023. Before her injury hiatus, she was part of the all-women’s faction, Pure Fusion Collective, alongside Shayna Baszler and the group’s leader, Sonya Deville.
Thanks for the submission!
Baszler and Deville were released last year, bringing an end to the Pure Fusion Collective. Then Stark was also surprisingly let go by the company earlier this year while she was recuperating from her injury. And now, after 14 months away from the ring, she has returned as Zoey Serrano.
She took part in RevPro’s Women’s Grand Prix and defeated Zeuxis in the tournament’s opening round. After her first match, Serrano returned later in the day for the second show, where she squared off against JGU as she continued her solid comeback and impressed everyone.
Stark was last seen in a WWE ring on May 19 of last year, when she faced off against Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane in a Money in the Bank Triple Threat Qualifying Match on RAW. During the bout, Stark suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus, leaving Ripley and Sane to continue the match without her.
Former WWE Superstar Zoey Stark becomes a free agent
World Wrestling Entertainment let go of an unprecedented number of stars after WrestleMania season this year in April. Among them was Zoey Stark.
She was recovering from a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus when she received the news of her release. And now, after three months of serving the global juggernaut’s mandatory non-compete requirements, she is finally a free agent.
Stark took to X/Twitter after becoming a free agent and shared a video for her fans as she prepared to get back inside the ring after over a year away. The text in the video suggested she was unapologetically going after everything she wants.
“Its showtime 📈,” she wrote.
After an impressive comeback at the RevPro’s Women’s Grand Prix, it remains to be seen what is next for Zoey Serrano.
