Trinity debuted with IMPACT Wrestling on Friday August 28th for a television taping at Cicero Stadium in Chicago, Illinois, and that debut aired on the 5/4 episode of IMPACTonAXSTV. It’s natural for somebody who’s been out of wrestling for the past year to be nervous returning to the ring on national tv and for a global audience. Luckily, Trinity had someone she could turn to like former NXT talent and current IMPACT Wrestling World Champion, Steve Maclin, who had previously been in a similar situation in 2021 that could relate and give her advice.

During a recent interview with “The Wrestling Perspective,” Maclin recalled the advice he gave Trinity.

“I think for the past two years that I’ve been there, [Impact has] been the quiet bubble that’s just been constantly growing, and then that finally popped recently,” Maclin said as he highlighted the last five TV tapings selling out. “Then with Trinity showing up in Chicago, it was really cool just for my behalf too because I was in her shoes where I even had the conversation with her, ‘How you doing?’ She’s like, ‘It’s just weird for me to be told to just go be you,’ and I’m like, ‘I know, tell me about it.'”

Ultimately, his advice to the former WWE “SmackDown” Women’s Champion was, “‘Just own it. Go be you and show the world,’ and that’s what happened when I got to Impact was I got to show the world who I was.”

Trinity’s friend and wrestling figure Mercedes Mone was also backstage for both days of the television tapings in Chicago support her friend. Trinity had been there for Mercedes months prior for NJPW events when she won the IWGP Women’s Title in Japan, so Mercedes was returning the favor.

IMPACT floor director, Ingrid Isley, confirmed that Mercedes provided the GLOW sticks, and thanked her for it.

Maclin is currently scheduled to defend his IMPACT World Title against PCO next Friday 5/26 at the LIVE Under Siege event. Trinity is currently slated to wrestle Gisele Shaw at the same event.
