Big congrats to Shantelle for achieving her goal of signing a WWE contract. We were happy to have her as a part of the SHIMMER family while we could... and wish her well in her future, which certainly looks very bright!

Great news for Shantelle. I take it WWE will be able to smooth over whatever visa issues she was having?

I'd assume she'll spend some time in DSW, but when she does get the call up to the main roster, I think Shantelle's best role would be as a protege of Trish Stratus. She'd certainly be a lot more useful in that role than Ashley Massaro ever was!

Visa issues was a guess. Signing a no-compete agreement would have been another reason she couldn't wrestle in the US.

She did start her post saying "the rumors are true" and I was the one starting the rumors on her forum, lol.

Nevertheless, its not really clear if there was or wasn't a visa issue but it doesn't even matter at this point.


Shimmer seems to be establishing itself as a springboard to WWE.
