Impact Wrestling

Early appearances (2013–2015)

Dennis initially appeared for TNA in the year of 2013 on the December 5 edition of Impact Wrestling in a squash match, losing to Gail Kim.[59]

Two years later in the year of 2015, Dennis appeared for TNA again under her real name on February 14 through the company's One Night Only PPV Knockouts Knockdown 2015 in a match against Gail Kim, once again in a losing effort.[60] Dennis returned to TNA on the TKO: Night of Knockouts edition of Impact Wrestling on April 24, where she defeated Jade but lost by disqualification.[61]

The Lady Squad (2016–2017)

On March 23, 2016, Dennis signed a contract with Impact.[62] She was given the new ring name Allie and aligned herself with Maria and Sienna after Allie revealed that she is Maria's apprentice, establishing herself as a heel in the process.[63] A few weeks after her signing, Allie teamed up with Sienna and lost to Gail Kim and Jade in a tag team match.

On August 25, 2016, during a special Turning Point edition of Impact Wrestling, Allie turned face and won the TNA Knockouts Championship in a five–way match against the champion Sienna, Madison Rayne, Marti Bell and Jade. Allie would unknowingly pin Madison after being knocked out by Marti Bell with a baton, winning the Knockouts Championship for the first time in her career.[64] On the September 1 Impact, Allie dropped the title to Maria after she was forced to lie down, gaining sympathy from the crowd in the process. A few weeks later, Allie was attacked by Laurel Van Ness, which lead into a match between the two. On the October 27 episode of Impact Wrestling, Allie faced her first singles match against Van Ness in a losing effort.

In the following week, Allie was forced to dress as a pilgrim where she hit Maria with a pumpkin pie. On the December 2 episode of Impact Wrestling, Allie was again attacked by Van Ness after she slapped Maria in the face which led to a match between both of them on the December 9 episode of Impact Wrestling, where Allie revealed her to be "training" with Braxton Sutter, before subsequently winning the match. On the January 5, 2017, episode of Impact Wrestling, Allie faced Sienna where she lost due to interference from Van Ness. On the January 12, 2017, episode of Impact Wrestling, Allie assisted Sutter in getting a victory over Mike Bennett, thus entering him into her feud with Maria. On the February 23, 2017, episode of Impact Wrestling, Allie was forced to be the ring bearer for the wedding of Braxton Sutter (who is Allie's real-life husband) and Van Ness, which ended abruptly, when Sutter rejected the wedding and professed his love for Allie.[65] The following week on Impact Wrestling, Maria went to fire Allie, but she responded by quitting, ending their feud after Maria left the company.

Various storylines (2017–2018)

Throughout early 2017, Allie continued her on screen relationship with Sutter, accompanying him to his matches and vice versa.[66] On the May 25 episode of Impact Wrestling, Laurel Van Ness and Sienna would jump Allie, prompting Rosemary to return and save her.[67] Rosemary later explained that "the hive" sent her to protect Allie, beginning an alliance between the two.[68] On the June 8 episode, Allie came out and saved Rosemary from being attacked by Sienna and Van Ness, fending them off with a kendo stick.[69] At Slammiversary, Allie would make an appearance as she chased Van Ness away again with a kendo stick, saving Rosemary from interference during the championship match against Sienna.[70] On August 31, 2017, episode of GFW Impact Wrestling, Allie was attacked by Taryn Terrell backstage which lead into a tag team match between the four. At Bound for Glory, Allie competed in a Three-way match for the Impact Knockouts Championship but failed to win the title. During the second half of 2017, Allie and Braxton Sutter ended their on camera relationship without any explanation. However during a January 2018 episode of Impact (which aired March 1, 2018), Sutter made his return to Impact television, where he turned heel and revealed that he dropped Allie like "a bad habit." Also in January 2018, she defeated Van Ness to become Knockouts Champion for the second time. (again, the episode did not air until March 2018, even though it was filmed in January) Allie successfully defended her title against Sienna on the March 22 episode of Impact Wrestling. After the match, Sutter proposed to Allie, only to provide distraction for Su Yung to attack Allie. This led into a title match between the two at Redemption, when Allie successfully retained her title over Yung.[71] On the April 26 episode of Impact!, Allie had another successful title defense against Taya Valkyrie. After the match, Allie was attacked by Yung, and was saved by Rosemary.[72]

Dark Allie (2018–2019)

On the May 3 episode of Impact!, after Rosemary was defeated by Su Yung and buried in a coffin that Su Yung set alight, promos showed Allie channeling Rosemary's spirit through her, dressing like Rosemary and stating that she was ready to get her revenge on Su Yung for what she did to her best friend. At Under Pressure, Allie lost the Knockout's Championship to Su Yung in a Last Rites match. At Slammiversary XVI, Allie lost to Tessa Blanchard. On August 30 episode of Impact! ReDefined, Allie unsuccessfully challenged Yung for the title in a three–way match, which was won by Tessa Blanchard.[73] At Bound for Glory, Allie entered into the Undead Realm, when she rescued Kiera Hogan from Yung and her undead bridesmaids. When both left the Undead Realm, Allie appeared to be possessed.[74] Following the next couple of months, Allie showed a darker and villainous version of herself. She aligned herself with Yung and turned on her friend Hogan under possession thus turning heel for the first time since 2016.[75] At Homecoming, Allie and Su Yung defeated Jordynne Grace and Kiera Hogan. On March 8 episode, Team Rosemary defeated Team Su Yung, putting Allie in the possession of Rosemary. On the March 29 episode of Impact Wrestling, Allie was shown "dying" in Rosemary's arms, officially writing off her television character. On March 23, 2019, Impact decided not to renew her contract and she left the company.[76]

All Elite Wrestling (2019–2023)

It was announced on the March 21, 2019, edition of "Road to Double or Nothing" that Allie had signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). She debuted at Fyter Fest, defeating Leva Bates after a superkick. At Fight for the Fallen, she was defeated by Brandi Rhodes. Allie also was part of the AEW Women's Casino Battle Royal at All Out getting eliminated at number 16 by eventual winner Nyla Rose after working with Britt Baker to eliminate Rhodes.[77]

On the November 27 episode of AEW Dynamite, Allie debuted a variation of her "Dark Allie" character The Bunny appearing as a manager/valet for her husband The Blade and his partner The Butcher by making an entrance via a hole in the mat of the ring and attacking Cody, turning heel in the process. In May 2020, Allie ceased appearing with The Butcher and The Blade and began a romantic storyline with Q. T. Marshall, thus turning face in the process. On the June 2 episode of AEW Dark, Allie arrived with Marshall to the arena in a corvette and accompanied him to the ring for his match to Brandi and Dustin Rhodes's behest.[78] After a couple of months of managing Marshall and Rhodes, Allie returned to in-ring competition on the June 16 episode of AEW Dark, by teaming with Brandi Rhodes and defeating the team of Kenzie Paige and Red Velvet.[79] Allie and Brandi, now known as "The Nightmare Sisters", entered the Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament, which started on August 3.[80] The Nightmare Sisters advanced to the final, when they were defeated by the team of Diamante and Ivelisse.[81]

On the October 20 episode of AEW Dark, Allie turned heel once again when she returned as The Bunny and aligned with Eddie Kingston's stable, betraying Marshall during his match against Pentagón Jr.[82] On August 4, 2021, at Homecoming, The Bunny was defeated by Leyla Hirsch in a match to determine the challenger for the NWA World Women's Championship at NWA EmPowerrr.[83] On the November 5 episode of AEW Rampage, The Bunny took part in the AEW TBS Championship Tournament where she faced Red Velvet in the first round and lost.[84] After months of feuding, the Bunny teamed up with Penelope Ford to take on Anna Jay and Tay Conti in a street fight on the December 31 episode of Rampage, which they lost.[85] On February 23, 2022, The Bunny faced Jade Cargill on Dynamite for the TBS Championship which The Bunny lost.[86] On March 30 on Dynamite, The Bunny took part in the AEW Owen Hart Cup where she faced Toni Storm and lost.[87]

On February 8, 2023, special episode of Dynamite named Championship Fight Night, The Bunny faced the AEW Women's World Champion Jamie Hayter in a Championship Eliminator match.[88] During the match, The Bunny was reportedly injured,[89] which was later confirmed on June by The Butcher that The Bunny sustained a broken orbital bone.[90] Bunny was removed from AEW’s website roster on November 9, 2023, after both parties mutually agreed to part ways ending her 4 year tenure with the company.[91]
