Olympic Gold Medalist Tamyra Mensah-Stock Signs With WWE
Tamyra Mensah-Stock is coming to WWE.
Mensah-Stock confirmed to ESPN that she has signed with WWE. Mensah-Stock was the Olympic champion at 68 kilograms at the Tokyo Games in 2021, becoming the first Black woman to win gold in freestyle wrestling.
She reported to the WWE Performance Center on Monday. Her goal is to make the main roster within a year.
“I didn’t want to end my career on that note,” Mensah-Stock said. “So I did another world championships, I wiped the floor with everybody, and I was like, ‘Man, this is not fun anymore. I need a change.’ Something in the back of my head that’s just been itching at me, a dream of mine for I don’t know how long. I just wanted to be in the WWE. I love watching the athletes just in the ring, just going what they do best. I just see their personalities just shine through the television, and I see their strength. Just everything about them resembles me, and I’ve just wanted to be a part of that.”
Mensah-Stock made an appearance at SummerSlam 2021 alongside Gable Steveson.
After her appearance, she made no secret of her WWE aspirations.
