Former WWE NXT UK Star Returning To IMPACT Wrestling
Another boisterous addition has been made to IMPACT Wrestling's knockouts division.
Killer Kelly is returning to the IMPACT Zone.
A vignette aired for her impending comeback to IMPACT Wrestling on the latest of the Anthem-helmed promotion's AXS TV show. She was noted as "coming soon", but an exact return date for her is yet to be divulged:-

This will mark Killer Kelly's first appearance for IMPACT Wrestling since December 2020. She had previously appeared as an entrant in the Knockouts World Tag Team Championships tournament, tagging with Renee Michelle in a first-round loss to Jazz and current Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace.
It was previously reported by Fightful that IMPACT officials were keen to sign the Portuguese native following this impressive showing, but "some things had to be worked out" before she was able to ink a deal with the organisation. This was reported in May 2021; that IMPACT has finally secured a deal with her is a positive sign of their approval of Kelly's work.
Best known for her time in Germany's westside Xtreme wrestling, Killer Kelly also worked for WWE's NXT UK developmental brand between 2018 and 2020, working the likes of Dakota Kai, Meiko Satomura, and Toni Storm. She was released in January 2020, remaining a free agent ever since.
