Released WWE Star Rebrands With New Ring Name Ahead Of Free Agency
Zoey Stark has teased a new ring name and nickname following her WWE release, rebranding herself as Zoey Serrano and hinting at the nickname "The Purist" in a promotional video documenting her injury comeback and return to training.
Stark changed her social media handle to Zoey Serrano and shared the video alongside hashtags for WWE, AEW, and TNA. She was also spotted training with AEW's Brian Cage in the clip.
In the video, Stark spoke about her love for wrestling and what the sport means to her.
"It's hard, man. So, I don't think people understand how much I love wrestling. It's what I live for, this is what I believe I was put on this Earth for, is to be in this ring to perform. This is it for me. This is all I've ever wanted to do.
Wrestling was my escape. The number one thing in my life. And the good thing is now I get to show that, I get to express that in my own way. So, I'm so happy that you guys get to be on this journey."
She closed the video with a message directed at her future.
"This is where I live, this is what I love to do. When I was a kid it was my escape through any type of hardship. Put on wrestling and I could escape from the world and just be in that ring with whoever I want. I made it come true. So, if I'm good now, imagine what it'll be like when my 90 days are over."
Stark was released by WWE in April. She has been out of in-ring action since May 19, 2025, when she suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. Her 90-day non-compete clause runs through late July.
