Allie

Early career and training in Canada

Laura Dennis began her professional wrestling journey on her seventeenth birthday, signing up for training at the Squared Circle Training centre in Toronto, Ontario, under Rob Etcheverria. Etcheverria gave her the ring name Cherry Bomb, under which she would perform for over a decade. She later received additional training from Derek Wylde. Dennis made her in-ring debut in May 2005 in Oshawa, Ontario, marking the start of a career that would be primarily built on the Canadian independent circuit. Her early matches were for promotions like the Pure Wrestling Association, where she competed in the Elite 8 Tournament in 2005, and Classic Championship Wrestling, where she once held their Women's Championship. She also became a regular for Great Canadian Wrestling (GCW), where she managed Jake O'Reilly and won the GCW W.I.L.D. Championship in April 2007, holding it for just over two months before losing it to Miss Danyah. A neck injury suffered in a match in September 2007 forced her to take a nine-month hiatus from wrestling, a significant setback early in her career.

During her time in Great Canadian Wrestling, Cherry Bomb competed in the tournament to determine the inaugural GCW W.I.L.D. Champion on November 18, 2006. She defeated Portia Perez in the first round before losing in the semi-finals to Sirelda, who went on to win the tournament. In early 2007, she teamed with Hayden the Destroyer to defeat Cody Deaner and Portia Perez at the New Year's Evil event on January 12. Later, on April 13, she teamed with Sirelda to gain a victory over Deanna Conda and Aurora. The following night, April 14, at the Anarchy in Angus show, she won the W.I.L.D. Championship by defeating reigning champion April Hunter, Hailey Rogers, and Miss Danyah in a fatal four-way match. She successfully defended the title once by disqualification against the Southside Stranglerette before losing it to Miss Danyah on June 22 at the Random Acts of Violence event.

Independent circuit prominence

Upon her return from injury, Cherry Bomb became a fixture across several prominent North American independent promotions, competing in both singles and tag team competition. She was part of the debut show of the Ottawa-based NCW Femmes Fatales on September 5, 2009, losing to Sara Del Rey but securing her first victory in the promotion on February 6, 2010, against Mistress Belmont. She was scheduled to face Daffney at the third Femmes Fatales show but was unable to appear. Her work in Shimmer Women Athletes began in October 2008 with a loss in the SPARKLE Division to Melanie Cruise. It was in Shimmer she formed a successful tag team with Kimber Lee, initially called Team Combat Zone before becoming known as The Kimber Bombs. The team quickly rose through the ranks of Shimmer's tag division, challenging for the Shimmer Tag Team Championship as early as October 2013 against 3G. Cherry Bomb also found success in Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU), debuting in June 2010 with a loss to Daizee Haze before capturing the WSU Championship by defeating LuFisto on May 9, 2015. Her independent work extended to Shine Wrestling, where The Kimber Bombs won the inaugural Shine Tag Team Championship in 2015, and to Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), where she performed alongside her real-life husband, Pepper Parks.

Her independent career featured several key achievements and partnerships across different organizations. She competed for Great Canadian Wrestling, NCW Femmes Fatales, Shimmer Women Athletes, Shine Wrestling, Women Superstars Uncensored and Combat Zone Wrestling under the ring name Cherry Bomb. With her tag team partner Kimber Lee, collectively known as The Kimber Bombs, she held the Shine Tag Team Championship and the Shimmer Tag Team Championship both once. She is also a former one-time WSU Champion, which she won by defeating LuFisto. These accomplishments were earned across various promotions before she signed with a major national promotion.

• In Shimmer, The Kimber Bombs defeated 3G (Kellie Skater and Tomoka Nakagawa) to win the Shimmer Tag Team Championship on April 11, 2015, and lost the titles to Evie and Heidi Lovelace on June 26, 2016.
• In Shine, the team participated in the inaugural tag team title tournament in February 2014, losing in the first round to The Lucha Sisters. They won the championships at Shine 25 in 2015 but were stripped of the titles at Shine 30 on October 2, 2016, due to Cherry Bomb's knee injury.
• In CZW, she, Pepper Parks, and BLK Jeez formed the stable TV Ready, winning the CZW World Tag Team Championship on December 12, 2015, at the Cage of Death event, and lost the titles on May 14, 2016, at Prelude to Violence.
• She made appearances for Ring of Honor in 2013, losing her debut four-way match but winning a singles match against MsChif in May, and represented Team Canada alongside KC Spinelli and Taya in the Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide Lucha Libre World Cup women's tournament in 2016.

This period established her reputation as a versatile and accomplished performer on the independent scene before she signed with a major national promotion. Cherry Bomb toured Japan in November 2010. She returned to Japan in July 2012, and on July 28 made her debut for the Ice Ribbon promotion with a win over Kurumi. At the following day's Kaientai Dojo and Reina X World co-promoted event, Cherry Bomb teamed with Aki Kanbayashi to defeat Alex Lee and Bambi in a tag team match. Her work in Japan added international experience to her independent career resume.

Impact Wrestling tenure

Laura Dennis first appeared for Impact Wrestling (then TNA) in 2013 on the December 5 edition of Impact, losing a squash match to Gail Kim. She returned for sporadic appearances in 2015, losing to Gail Kim again at the One Night Only Knockouts Knockdown event on February 14 and defeating Jade by disqualification on the April 24 TKO special. She officially signed a contract on March 23, 2016, and was rebranded with the ring name Allie. Initially introduced as the meek personal assistant and apprentice to the villainous Maria, Allie was portrayed as a sympathetic underdog. In a surprising turn, she won the TNA Knockouts Championship on August 25, 2016, during a special Turning Point edition of Impact, in a five-way match against champion Sienna, Madison Rayne, Marti Bell, and Jade, unknowingly pinning Rayne after being knocked out. Her reign lasted only a week before Maria forced her to relinquish the title on the September 1 episode. This storyline garnered significant fan support for Allie, solidifying her as a popular face character. Her on-screen romantic storyline with Braxton Sutter (her real-life husband) and her feud with Laurel Van Ness were central plots throughout 2016 and early 2017, including a match where she was forced to dress as a pilgrim and hit Maria with a pumpkin pie.

In May 2017, Allie formed an alliance with the supernatural character Rosemary, who saved her from an attack by Sienna and Laurel Van Ness. This partnership became a defining element of her Impact run, with Allie returning the favour by saving Rosemary with a kendo stick on the June 8 episode. At the Slammiversary event, she chased Van Ness away to prevent interference in Rosemary's title match. Allie recaptured the Knockouts Championship in January 2018, though the episode aired in March, successfully defending it against Sienna on March 22 and against Su Yung at the Redemption pay-per-view. After Rosemary was seemingly killed by Su Yung in a storyline where she was set alight in a coffin, Allie began to exhibit a darker, possessed persona, channeling Rosemary's spirit. She eventually aligned with Yung and turned on her friend Kiera Hogan, leading to a tag team victory with Yung over Hogan and Jordynne Grace at the Homecoming event. This 'Dark Allie' arc culminated in a symbolic death in Rosemary's arms on the March 29, 2019, episode of Impact, writing her character off the show as her contract was not renewed on March 23, 2019.

All Elite Wrestling and The Bunny character

Following her departure from Impact, Allie signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in March 2019, as announced on the 'Road to Double or Nothing' series. She debuted at the Fyter Fest event in June, 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, entering at number 16 and being eliminated by eventual winner Nyla Rose after working with Britt Baker to eliminate Brandi Rhodes. In November 2019, she reintroduced a darker version of her persona as The Bunny, appearing as a manager and valet for her husband (The Blade) and The Butcher by making an entrance through a hole in the ring mat and attacking Cody Rhodes, turning heel. This character was part of Eddie Kingston's stable. After a brief face turn managing Q. T. Marshall in mid-2020, which included a romantic storyline and her managing him alongside Dustin and Brandi Rhodes, she reverted to The Bunny character in October 2020 on an episode of AEW Dark, betraying Marshall during his match against Pentagón Jr. to reaffirm her villainous alignment.

During her AEW tenure, The Bunny was a consistent competitor in the women's division, though she did not capture championship gold in the promotion. She debuted at Fyter Fest, defeating Leva Bates after a superkick. Allie also was part of the AEW Women's Casino Battle Royal at All Out. Her matches often placed her in contention for titles or in featured rivalries, competing against wrestlers like Brandi Rhodes and Britt Baker.

Her contract with All Elite Wrestling concluded in 2023, leading to her return to Impact Wrestling, now known as TNA. During her time in AEW, she performed under the ring name The Bunny. In 2020, she and Brandi Rhodes, known as 'The Nightmare Sisters', reached the final of the Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament on August 3, where they were defeated by the team of Diamante and Ivelisse. This tournament run was a notable part of her AEW career.

Return to TNA and DemonXBunny

Following her departure from AEW, Laura Dennis returned to TNA, the promotion where she first achieved national prominence as Allie. She is currently signed to the company and performs under the Allie ring name. Upon her return, she reunited with her former ally Rosemary, forming the tag team known as DemonXBunny. The team name is a portmanteau of their respective personas, combining Rosemary's demonic character with Allie's Bunny moniker. This pairing continues the long-standing storyline connection between the two wrestlers that began during Allie's first run with Impact in 2017 when Rosemary saved her from an attack. Her return represents a homecoming to the promotion where her character work and championship successes resonated deeply with the audience, and where she had previously been a central figure in the Knockouts division for several years.

Personal life and wrestling style

Laura Dennis is married to fellow professional wrestler Michael Mullet, who is known in wrestling as Pepper Parks, The Blade, and Braxton Sutter. Their real-life relationship has been incorporated into various on-screen storylines in both Impact Wrestling and AEW, most notably during her Impact feud with Maria and Laurel Van Ness, which included a forced wedding ceremony for Sutter and Van Ness that Sutter rejected. In terms of her in-ring style, Dennis has evolved from her early days as Cherry Bomb on the independent circuit. She is known for her strong character acting, particularly in portraying sympathetic underdog and darker, possessed personas. Her move set often includes a superkick as a signature finish, which she used to win her AEW debut match. While capable of technical wrestling, her performances in major promotions have heavily emphasized storytelling and character development, making her a versatile performer who connects with audiences through narrative as much as athleticism. She has also worked as a fitness-inspired villain in CZW and a supernatural ally or antagonist in Impact, demonstrating wide range.

Championships and accomplishments

Throughout her career across multiple promotions, Laura Dennis has captured numerous championships, reflecting her success as both a singles and tag team competitor. Her title wins span the Canadian independent scene, notable women's wrestling promotions, and major national television companies. These accolades highlight her longevity and adaptability in the professional wrestling industry. Below is a list of her major championship victories with specific details on each reign.

• Impact Knockouts Championship (2 times), First won on August 25, 2016. Second reign began in January 2018.
• Shimmer Tag Team Championship (1 time), Won with Kimber Lee as The Kimber Bombs on April 11, 2015, by defeating 3G.
• Shine Tag Team Championship (1 time), Won with Kimber Lee as The Kimber Bombs at Shine 25 in 2015.
• WSU Championship (1 time), Won on May 9, 2015, by defeating reigning champion LuFisto.

• GCW W.I.L.D. Championship (1 time), Won on April 14, 2007, in a fatal four-way match at Anarchy in Angus.
• Classic Championship Wrestling Women's Championship (1 time), Successfully defended the title against opponents including Evilyn, Alexxis, and Jaime D during her early career.

These championships represent the high points of her career across different eras and promotions, from her beginnings in Ontario to her featured roles on national television. With The Kimber Bombs, she won the Shimmer Tag Team Championship and the Shine Tag Team Championship. She is a former one-time WSU Champion. In Impact Wrestling, she won the TNA Knockouts Championship twice. These achievements demonstrate a well-rounded career record in both tag team and singles competition.

Notable feuds and rivalries

Allie's career has been defined by several extended storylines and personal rivalries that drove television narratives in Impact Wrestling and AEW. Her first major feud in Impact was with the powerful duo of Maria and her enforcer Sienna, which began when Allie was introduced as Maria's submissive assistant. This conflict, rooted in workplace bullying, culminated in Allie's surprise Knockouts Championship win and her subsequent forced resignation after standing up to Maria. Concurrently, her rivalry with Laurel Van Ness involved psychological torment, including being attacked backstage and forced into humiliating situations, which eventually led to several physical matches between the two. The romantic storyline with Braxton Sutter became entangled with this feud, most memorably during the aborted wedding ceremony for Sutter and Van Ness on the February 23, 2017, episode of Impact.

Her alliance and subsequent conflict with the supernatural characters of Rosemary and Su Yung produced one of Impact's most creative periods. After Rosemary saved her, Allie became entangled in a war between Rosemary's 'hive' and Su Yung's undead bridesmaids. This feud saw Allie temporarily possessed, turn on her friend Kiera Hogan, and ultimately be 'killed' and resurrected within the storyline. In AEW, her primary rivalry was internal to the women's division, often positioning her as a challenger to champions like Jade Cargill and Jamie Hayter. Her management of The Butcher and The Blade also placed her in conflict with top stars like Cody Rhodes, while her betrayal of Q. T. Marshall served to re-establish her heel persona. These feuds consistently utilized her strength in character portrayal to enhance the emotional stakes of her matches.

Other ventures and tryouts

Beyond her regular in-ring work, Laura Dennis pursued opportunities with larger wrestling organizations and participated in crossover events. She was invited for a try-out match with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on May 17, 2010, appearing in a segment with Goldust during an episode of Raw. In March 2011, she attended a more extensive try-out camp at Florida Championship Wrestling, which was WWE's developmental territory at the time. These tryouts did not result in a contract but demonstrated the early interest from major promotions in her potential. In 2016, under her Allie ring name, she was announced as part of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide's Lucha Libre World Cup in the Women's Division Tournament, representing Team Canada alongside KC Spinelli and Taya. This international exposure highlighted her standing within the global wrestling community. Her work in Combat Zone Wrestling also saw her develop a distinct 'fitness power couple' villainous persona with Pepper Parks, which included feuds with Greg Excellent and Candice LeRae and involved storyline elements like being forced to conform to Excellent's lifestyle before being 'won back' by Parks in a match at the High Stakes event in March 2014.
