Former WWE star Zoey Stark has explained her TNA decision. Now wrestling as Zoey Serrano, she feels ready for change.

WWE released her in April 2026 while she was recovering from a knee injury. She made her TNA debut in August 2026 on an episode of TNA Impact. She is currently preparing for a tag team match at this weekend’s Bound for Glory.

Speaking with The Wrestling Classic, Serrano discussed her fresh start. She also explained what she wants to do differently. This time, she wants to show her real personality. She said, “I’m just going to go with my gut instinct, and I can’t hold back anymore. I wish it was more dynamic, like I wish I had a more dynamic answer for you.”

“But I think I held who I truly was back, and wouldn’t let myself be who I am. So this goal, like my main goal now is to just go out there, be me, do what I feel is right for me.” Serrano also revealed why she chose TNA. She said prayer and gut instinct helped guide her decision.

“So, I don’t know if you’re a believer or not, but I believe in God. And I sat there and I prayed about this for almost a month straight. And then I just felt a very strong gut like, pull of ‘TNA is the answer,’ you know? I don’t know why, but I always knew for whatever reason like that was where my gut was going.”

Serrano also recalled Tommy Dreamer reaching out to her. At the time, Dreamer was still working with TNA. She felt his message was an answer to her prayers. “And it was just one of those things where before Tommy Dreamer got released or quit or whatever the situation is, I don’t know. But when Tommy Dreamer was still there, he actually reached out to me, and then he left.”

“But when he reached out to me, I was like, ‘Oh, I feel like that’s God answering my prayer and I’m going to continue down this direction.’ And then I had a conversation with Carlos and right after that phone call, right away he was like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it. Let’s sign you.’ So, it was pretty easy. It wasn’t like it was a hard thing. It was like, it was such an easy road to go down where it just felt right.”

She is now teaming with Shayna Baszler. The pair will challenge for the TNA World Tag Team Championships. Their match is scheduled for Bound For Glory this weekend.
