In an update, Impact has officially announced Fatu’s debut, noting that she will have a live mic on Thursday’s episode. They also released footage of Fatu’s entrance, which you can see below.
“IMPACT Wrestling promised a major surprise for night one of Spring Slugfest – and earlier tonight in Chicago, the wrestling world was rocked to its core once again. World-renowned wrestling superstar Trinity made her shocking arrival in front of an ecstatic audience at Cicero Stadium. With a live mic in hand, what did Trinity have to say on her first night in the IMPACT Zone? Find out on an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders,” they wrote.
Impact President Scott D’Amore took to Twitter to welcome Fatu to the company.
“Ecstatic to welcome @TheTrinity_Fatu to the @IMPACTWRESTLING roster. A world class athlete and entertainer who will raise the already high bar for everybody in the locker room. Don’t miss her debut this Thursday on #IMPACTonAXSTV,” he wrote.
We noted before how Mercedes Moné was at Cicero Stadium to support Fatu in her Impact debut. Moné was seen hiding in the crowd, watching Fatu in the ring. You can see fan photos of Moné in the crowd below. Moné also posted a backstage photo of she and Fatu, and touted the arrival.
“[face holding back tears emoji] [heart eyes emoji] @TheTrinity_Fatu is here to make an IMPACT!!! She bout to knock out all competition & leave em in the rear view. Get it sis,” Moné wrote.
