Priscilla Kelly is a great wrestler, one of the finest young female talents in the industry, and is somehow who has the potential to go on and become a true top tier talent for years to come. However, she has also courted her fair share of controversy across her relatively short career - most notably in December 2018.

It was during a December 2018 match for Suburban Fight out of Los Angeles that the Gypsy Princess was involved in what became known as the 'tampon incident'. That involved Priscilla pulling a used tampon out of her tights in the middle of a match against Tuna, and the shoving that tampon in her opponent's mouth.

All of this was soon picked up on by the wrestling world, with legends such as Gail Kim, Jim Ross and Road Dogg being three major names to slam this incident. On the other side of the fence, names like Tommy Dreamer, Reby Hardy and Taz were quick to stick up for Kelly.

Due to the sheer amount of negative publicity this stunt received, many believed that this would rule out WWE ever wanting to sign Priscilla Kelly. But here we are in 2021, and how wrong those people were.
