Priscilla Kelly is officially done with Gigi Dolin—and she’s not being subtle about it.
Just as her 30-day WWE no-compete clause expired, the former NXT star dropped a striking black-and-white video on social media, ushering in the next chapter of her wrestling journey. And it’s not just talk—she literally set her WWE past on fire.
The emotional clip begins with Kelly sitting alone on a couch, flipping through old photographs of herself, visibly reflecting on the version of her identity that WWE had crafted. With a haunting voiceover, she peeled back the pain and confusion that came with her time in the company.
“Gigi… I had everything. Everything I worked so hard for so long to achieve. And somewhere along the way I lost myself almost entirely. I became a shell of the girl I knew. I didn’t even recognize the body I saw in the mirror.”
She admitted the mental and emotional toll of the industry left her questioning if she even still loved wrestling.
“I had asked myself time and time again, did I even love this anymore? I had been through so much in my childhood and and my adult life that I thought surely nothing and I mean nothing could break me. But it did.”
According to Kelly, it took suffering a brutal injury—a torn and flipped meniscus—to help her rebuild from the inside out.
“I found myself picking up pieces of my dream, not knowing what glue would be strong enough to put it back together. Well, it turns out that glue was a torn and flipped meniscus on a Friday morning.”
As the video built toward its climax, Kelly’s voice shook with passion.
“I came back with a vengeance and one goal. Show everyone what the hell I’m capable of. Break every assumption, every doubt. Bring back a part of me that I thought was dead and work my ass off until. I, I understand. Thank you. Thank you for everything. Thank you. I sat with my thoughts and it felt like I had experienced a death. Maybe I did.”
In the final chilling moments of the video, Kelly was seen standing in front of a fire pit outside. She poured gasoline into the flames and threw in what appeared to be a jacket with “Gigi” stitched on the back. She also tossed in the photographs she had just been looking at—pieces of her past—into the fire. As the flames engulfed the memories, the screen cut to bold white text over the blaze:
“HELL’S FAVORITE HARLOT — PRISCILLA KELLY”
This symbolic act marked a firm end to the Gigi Dolin persona and a fierce return to her roots. Kelly is already booked to appear at Wrestling REVOLVER’s Revolver Cage event on June 14 in Iowa, her first post-WWE match. With her persona reset and message made clear, Priscilla Kelly isn’t just back—she’s reborn.
