Ivelisse is one of the top free agents in wrestling today. She has been one of the major components to the success that Lucha Underground has enjoyed since the brand launched in 2014. Ivelisse is also one of the most experienced active women's wrestlers anywhere.
Since her 2002 debut, Ivelisse started out in the Chicago Indie scene before being selected as one of the contestants on WWE Tough Enough Season 5. Unfortunately, Ivelisse sustained a leg injury, which ended her time on the show abruptly.

However, she made such a profound impact on show producers and WWE officials, that she was signed to a developmental contract with the WWE and sent to Florida Championship Wrestling, which was the predecessor to NXT.
In 2012, Ivelisse was released from her WWE developmental contract, for reasons she claims stemmed from her bad relationship with former head coach Bill Demott. After her release, Ivelisse returned to the independent scene, then eventually TNA and of course, Lucha Underground.
Times are different now in the WWE. Ivelisse should not only be welcomed back but encouraged to have another go at it with the company.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
