10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Priscilla Kelly
Everything you need to know to get up to speed on Priscilla Kelly, aka NXT's Gigi Dolin.
For the past year or more, NXT has had the absolute best women's division in American wrestling. And recently, that division saw three new recruits join its ranks.
Last month saw NXT announce the signings of Gigi Dolin, Cora Jade and Zoey Stark. To fans of independent wrestling, those WWE-ized names are better known as Priscilla Kelly, Elayna Black and Lacey Ryan. While all three were viewed as good talents who were impressive 'gets' for WWE and its NXT brand, the one name that likely jumped out the most was that of Priscilla Kelly/Gigi Dolin.
Still only 23 years of age, Hell's Favourite Harlot is already a six-year pro, having wrestled all over the world and at one point looking like a cert to become a part of All Elite Wrestling.
That AEW signing didn't come to pass, and now NXT has one of the hottest young female talents in the world on its hands. So much so, the Gypsy Queen was fast-tracked and made her in-ring bow for the company on the very same day that her signing was announced.
For those looking to get up to speed with Priscilla Kelly, aka Gigi Dolin, then, here are all the key facts that you need to know...
10. Ranked #38 In The PWI Top 100 Females
The beloved Pro Wrestling Illustrated has been ranking the 500 best male wrestlers in the world since as long back as 1991, with that #1 spot being such a prestigious gong for a grappler to win. Where the women of the wrestling world are concerned, though, PWI didn't start drawing up rankings for them until 2008.
It may only be the top 100 wrestlers rather than 500, but that doesn't stop the PWI Women's 100 from being just as noteworthy a list as its male counterpart. And for Priscilla Kelly, she was ranked the 38th best female wrestler in the world in the most recent edition of the PWI Women's 100 list.
That 2020 version of this list was topped by Bayley, with Becky Lynch, Asuka, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks filling out the top five women in the world in that ranking.
She may not have cracked the top five, but an indication of just how well regarded Priscilla Kelly is by Pro Wrestling Illustrated can be seen by how she ranked higher than WWE's Lacey Evans, Toni Storm, Shotzi Blackheart, Natalya, Sonya Deville, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Naomi and Nia Jax, AEW's Big Swole and Penelope Ford, and IMPACT Wrestling's Rosemary and Su Yung.
