Longtime wrestling fans might remember Serena as one of the members of The Straightedge Society that was 'saved' by CM Punk. She was a former addict who let Punk shave her head as a part of her path towards cleansing herself and improving herself as a human being.
Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE
In August 2010, Serena was fired from WWE. The reason for her firing was that she failed to live her on-screen life outside the confines of a WWE ring. A few weeks before her firing, WWE aired a segment that showed Serena entering a bar, which didn't sit well with Punk. Many took this as a scathing message from WWE to Serena, for not being able to do justice to her straightedge gimmick in real life. Although Superstars are not expected to be in character at all times in this day and age, WWE seemingly expected Serena to go that extra mile.

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.
