Former AEW star Allie — known to fans as The Bunny — has officially stepped back into the ring after a two-year absence, marking a major step in her post-AEW journey.
Allie took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a deeply personal update, revealing that she’s finally resumed in-ring training after stepping away from wrestling entirely. The former two-time Knockouts Champion last wrestled on the September 6, 2023, taping of AEW Rampage, teaming with Anna Jay and Taya Valkyrie in a losing effort against Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, and Skye Blue. She was quietly removed from AEW’s roster page in November 2023, with PWInsider later reporting that her departure was mutual.
Opening up in her new video, Allie admitted she hadn’t been active in wrestling — not just matches, but any kind of physical training — for quite some time:
“I haven’t had an actual wrestling match in, s–t, I think it might be two years. Many things have changed in my life and something in me just felt like I want to get back in the ring and see how it feels.”
She went on to explain that her break was complete — no bumps, no ring time, no training at all — until recently when an unexpected longing started to return:
“Not only did I not have a match but I hadn’t trained, I hadn’t bumped, I hadn’t been in wrestling at all for quite a long time. Maybe the last couple months, I started feeling like I really missed it in a way that I honestly didn’t expect.”
Allie made it clear she wasn’t interested in rushing back into wrestling without feeling physically and mentally ready. Now, though, she’s diving back in — and the experience hit her like, well, a bump in the ring.
“It hurt so bad,” she said with a smile. “That first bump, you guys. I started hitting the ropes, it was really painful. But honestly, it felt so good.”
There’s no word yet on whether she’s aiming for a return to AEW, TNA, WWE, or the indies — but fans will be watching closely. For now, Allie seems focused on rediscovering her love for the sport and listening to where her instincts take her.
Wrestling comebacks always hit differently when they come from the heart, and Allie’s raw honesty has clearly struck a chord with fans.
