The Queen Bee of the Knockouts Division started as a lackey to The Beautiful People, but grew to become a great competitor on our own. Her in-ring abilities are what gives her a slight edge over her former Beautiful partner Velvet Sky.

Rayne's humble beginnings started with her first match in TNA getting squashed by Awesome Kong in January of 2009. In the following months, she was mainly used to put over other competitors until Love and Sky took her under their wing.

Together the three ran the Knockouts Division, and Rayne slowly started to be taken more seriously as a wrestler. When the stable went their separate ways, Rayne received a bit of a makeover with a cocky new persona, a ridiculously awesome theme song and a couple runs with the Knockouts Title; actually five to be exact.

The past few years have seen Rayne positioned as more of an afterthought in the division, but at 30-years-old, she still has plenty of time to get back to being the real Queen of the Knockouts once more. For as much as she’s done for the company, she sure deserves the opportunity.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
