WWE has undergone a series of personnel changes since merging with UFC to form TKO Group Holdings. Following this trend, McKenzie Mitchell was released from WWE last year. Notably, she has since secured a role in the show ‘The Last Match.’
McKenzie Mitchell, who appeared on-screen as a host for WWE on their various media outlets, and NXT, announced last year that she was let go from the company but had nothing but positive things to say about them.
Mitchell is set to be part of ‘The Last Match,’ a fresh rock musical revolving around professional wrestling. Expressing her enthusiasm for the project, Mitchell, portraying the character commentator Scarlett Sublime, took to Twitter to share her excitement.
”Since I could walk and talk I’ve had a microphone in my hand. Performing is where I have always felt most comfortable and where I shine. Fun fact! When I was young I used to sing and dance and actually performed in front of thousands of fans at the age of 6. I won’t necessarily be singing, but instead I’ll be using my voice as the play by play commentator for @TLMMUSICAL”
”Taking a page out of my husbands book here. Blending my love and knowledge of pro wrestling with acting and theater is a dream come true. I am so honored to be part of originating the role of Scarlett Sublime. This is a big role to fill but I’m so excited for the challenge. The tour begins in NY and then we will be touring in a city near you throughout May. Get your tickets now! I can’t wait to see you soon! xoxo, Scarlett ”
In addition to Mitchell, The Last Match will feature the well-known Wrestling YouTube personality Simon Miller, who will be taking on the role of Alexander Swagger. Beyond his online presence, Miller has ventured into the ring, with appearances such as IMPACT Wrestling’s Turning Point show last year.
Scheduled for its premiere on April 26 at the Temple in Rochester, New York, The Last Match narrates the tale of Ben Vengeance’s journey as he steps into his ultimate wrestling pay-per-view event to contend for the BTD Championship, currently held by Swagger/Miller.
