#4 Stacy Keibler is released after a months-long absence

Stacy Keibler was one of the most popular WWE Divas during her peak. She was a mainstay on WWE TV for years on end, following the WCW buyout. Stacy Keibler was dubbed Miss Hancock in WCW. She made her way to WWE during the Alliance angle in 2001. Later, Keibler kicked off a run with her then real-life boyfriend, Test. The duo was involved in a storyline with Scott Steiner on WWE RAW, which saw Keibler leaving Test for the former WCW World Champion.

Keibler unfortunately never won a Women's title during her WWE stint. She had a memorable run with The Hurricane and Rosey during her final years in WWE. In late 2005, Stacy wrestled her final WWE match on a Velocity taping, and registered a loss against Jillian Hall.

Keibler then took some time off to appear on Dancing With The Stars, with her profile quietly being moved from SmackDown to RAW around this time. Stacy Keibler never wrestled another match though, and finally parted ways with WWE in July 2006.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
