Rayne's hazing continued after The Beautiful People won an Impact! tag team match against Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed, after which Rayne tried to cut the braided hair of the TNA Knockouts Champion Kong.[24] With Sky in her corner, Angelina Love faced Kong and perennial nemesis Taylor Wilde in a three-way cage match for the Knockout Championship at Lockdown, which Love would win.[25] The following week on Impact!, Mi Pi Sexy had a celebration with male dancers and named Rayne an official member of the Beautiful People.

At Hard Justice in August, Rayne cost Love her Knockouts Championship when her interference in the match backfired.[6] On the following episode of Impact!, Rayne was scheduled to face Love in a match, but before it started, Love attacked her from behind.[30] After Love had pinned Rayne, Sky showed up holding a brown paper bag and put it on Rayne's head to humiliate her.[30] Rayne was then saved by Tara and Christy Hemme.[6] On the September 10 episode of Impact!, Rayne and partner Roxxi lost to The Beautiful People in a match that was part of a tournament to crown the inaugural Knockouts Tag Team Champions.[6]

The Beautiful People shook their hands, but then attacked them. As they began to lose the advantage in the assault, the debuting Lacey Von Erich took out Wilde and Sarita. The three then posed in the ring, welcoming Von Erich into The Beautiful People.[6][32] Rayne gained her first victory in TNA on the October 8 episode of Impact! by scoring the deciding fall in an eight-wrestler elimination match where she, Sky, Alissa Flash and Traci Brooks defeated Sarita, Taylor Wilde, Hamada and Christy Hemme after the interference from Von Erich.[33]

Angelina Love returned to the company on the January 14, 2010, episode of Impact!, but instead of re-joining The Beautiful People, she attacked them.[40] Several weeks later on March 8, Rayne and Velvet Sky defeated the teams of Love and Tara, and Sarita and Taylor Wilde in a three-way match to win the vacant Knockouts Tag Team Championship.[41] Under the Freebird Rule, all three members of The Beautiful People were considered champions, and any combination of two members were permitted to defend the title.[10] At Lockdown in April, Rayne and Sky partnered against Tara and Angelina Love in a tag team cage match, during which Rayne pinned Tara to win Love's Knockouts Championship.[10][42] With the win, she became the first person to hold both the Knockout Championship and the Knockouts Tag Team Championship simultaneously. The following month at Sacrifice, Rayne defeated Tara in a Title vs. Career match, causing Tara to retire from TNA and ending the storyline rivalry between Tara and The Beautiful People.[43] At Slammiversary VIII Rayne retained her title against Roxxi in another Title vs. Career match.[44]

After weeks of arguing amongst each other over Rayne's attitude, the Beautiful People agreed to a truce on the July 29 episode of Impact!.[48] However, on the following episode of Impact!, Rayne and the mystery woman inadvertently cost Sky and Von Erich the Knockouts Tag Team Championship in a match against Hamada and Taylor Wilde, when their interference backfired.[49][50] The following week, Rayne lost the Knockouts Championship to Angelina Love, after a distraction caused by Velvet Sky attacking the mystery woman.[51] Rayne received her rematch for the title on the following week's episode of Impact!, but was again defeated by Love, after an interference from Velvet Sky.

Returns to Impact Wrestling (2018–2022)

[edit]

On the November 29 episode of Impact!, Rayne returned as a heel in a three-way match between herself, Laurel Van Ness and K. C. Spinelli in a losing effort. Rayne once again returned on the May 17 episode of Impact! on commentary during a knockouts match between Tessa Blanchard and Kiera Hogan. After the match, Madison Rayne came down to the ring to save Hogan from the assault by Tessa Blanchard. On the May 31 episode of Impact!, she defeated Blanchard. At Slammiversary XVI, she unsuccessfully challenged Su Yung for the Impact Knockouts Championship.[139] On August 24, 2018, Rayne's profile on Impact's website was moved to the alumni section.[140]

On March 1, 2019, one day after her release from ROH, Rayne signed a multi-year contract to return to Impact Wrestling.[141] In her first match on Impact! since her return, Rayne unsuccessfully challenged Jordynne Grace to become the #1 contender for the Impact Knockouts Championship.[142] On the July 17 episode of Impact!, after Rayne lost to Grace in a triple threat match that also involved Hogan, Rayne joined forces with Hogan by attacking Grace, turning heel in the process.[143]

During 2020, Rayne transitioned into a more active role in commentary along with her husband Josh Mathews, being the first female figure on the commentary on a weekly basis.[144] On the Countdown to Hard to Kill pre-show for Hard to Kill (2021), Rayne announced her retirement from the wrestling business. She made her final appearance on Hard to Kill proper, presenting the Knockouts Tag Team Championship belts to Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz alongside former championship partner Gail Kim.

On the August 12, 2021, episode of Impact!, Rayne returned to Impact Wrestling, attacking Taylor Wilde during her match against Tenille Dashwood, and aligning with Dashwood after the match.[145] In October, Rayne entered a tournament to determine the inaugural Impact Digital Media Champion, where she lost to Chelsea Green in the first round;[146] however, Rayne replaced Dashwood to compete against Jordynne Grace in the final at Bound for Glory, where she lost.[147] Rayne wrestled her final match on the August 11, 2022 episode of Impact against Mia Yim, in a losing effort, ending her third tenure with the company.[148]

All Elite Wrestling (2022–present)

[edit]

All Elite Wrestling announced in August 2022 that Rayne had signed as a coach for the promotion's women's division.[3] She is also set to compete as a wrestler.[149] Rayne made her in-ring debut for the promotion on the August 5 episode of AEW Rampage.[150] On August 10 at AEW Quake by the Lake, Rayne was unsuccessful at winning the TBS Championship against Jade Cargill.[151]

Return to ROH (2023–present)

[edit]

Rayne appeared on January 18 at The Jay Briscoe Celebration of Life, where she was defeated by ROH Women's World Champion Athena, if Rayne won, she would have received a title match.[152] Rayne made her Ring of Honor (ROH) return on the March 2, 2023, episode of ROH on Honor Club, where she alongside Skye Blue defeated The Renegades (Charlette Renegade and Robyn Renegade).[153] During a dark match with Robyn Renegade on the April 13 episode of Honor Club, Rayne suffered a foot injury.[154]

Personal life

[edit]

Simmons married Jesse Cabot on February 8, 2011.[citation needed] Their daughter was born on August 29, 2013.[155] Simmons and Cabot divorced in 2015. Later that year, in August, Simmons married Impact Wrestling commentator Josh Lomberger (better known as Josh Mathews).[156]
