As well as spending over a decade with CMLL between 2004 and 2015 as Dark Angel, Stock became well known to mainstream North American fans as Sarita thanks to a prosperous run in TNA/Impact Wrestling. She worked for the organisation between 2009 and 2012 where she scored two Knockouts Title Reigns alongside Rosita, who has gone on to greater fame as Zelina Vega in WWE.

Stock joined her there in 2015, and was a women's coach until 2020, when she was furloughed then released during the company's brutal COVID-19-related cuts.

She wasn't the only debuatant in the women's division on last night's show either. Jade Cargill's open challenge to any "whack ass Canadians" featured two new arrivals from the Great White North. Nicole Matthews answered the challenge in a squash loss, before Taya Valkyrie made her own debut to challenge the TBS Champion in the future. She was announced as "#AllElite" before the episode concluded.
