10 Most Outstanding Career Revivals In WWE

Debuting in November 2002 at fifteen, Rebecca Quin was considered a prodigy. Wrestling under the name Rebecca Knox, she swiftly made a name for herself, working with a who’s who of some of the biggest names in women’s wrestling. Allison Danger, Sweet Saraya, Gran Hamada, Aja Kong, Cheerleader Melissa – the list goes on.

In September 2006, after a blow to the head, Quin began experiencing buzzing in her left ear, severe blurring in her right eye and intense headaches. She was eventually diagnosed with damage to her vestibulocochlear nerve (the part of the brain that affects balance and hearing). The injury was so severe that Quin was forced to cancel all her bookings, and eventually, in a crisis of confidence, abandon wrestling as a career altogether. She was only nineteen years old.

However, despite various fresh starts - higher education and new careers - the world of the work would always prove more fascinating than the working world. She’d find herself trying to recreate the highs of her former career: the travel, as a flight attendant, or the physicality, through martial arts, and eventually signed with WWE developmental in April 2013.

By summer 2014, Becky Lynch was on NXT TV; the following February, she was the wild card in the now-legendary Fatal Four-way for the NXT Women’s Championship at TakeOver: Rival, one of the ‘Four Horsewomen’. By July 2015, she was on Monday Night RAW, helping spearhead the WWE’s ‘women’s revolution’.

After seven years in the wilderness, Rebecca Quin had brought straight fire to the WWE.
