American Wrestler That Retired and Joined WWE, Now Wants to Make a Comeback for Paris Olympics 2024

For Tamyra Mensah-Stock, being the first black female freestyle wrestler to win an Olympic gold was easier said than done. While the Titan Mercury Wrestling Club member was the center of the discussion after her triumphant win at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, her amateur career took a halt soon after. And now, things are looking to be shifting yet again as the 2024 Paris Olympics loom over us.

Mensah-Stock shocked the world after her Olympic win by announcing her decision to join the WWE and explore the world of professional wrestling. However, as the 2024 Olympics are set to take over the world this July, it seems like Tamyra is weighing the options to seal her status among the world’s elites.

Mensah-Stock in deep thoughts ahead of the Paris Olympics 2024

With her recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Tamyra Mensah-Stock has sent out ripples across the wrestling community of the country. The Olympic team trials are just around the corner and Team USA wrestlers have been making the stir at the Zagreb Open. Securing a spot on the national team is looking like a worthy challenge and Mensah-Stock looks unable to keep her gaze elsewhere for any longer. “Debating whether or not I should go to Olympic Team Trials“, reads her post accompanied by a thoughtful emoji.

For fans, who couldn’t stop raving about Mensah-Stock’s history-making performance in the last Olympics, the announcement feels like a breath of fresh air as things are pretty tensed up at the moment. Mensah-Stock’s glory moment was so significant that her win compelled the fans to take to their feet to show their respect. It looks like the two-time World Championships gold medalist wants to relive the thrill once again. However, her joining WWE brought some highlight moments.
