In wrestling, we all love a bit of mystery, a bit of enigma, a bit of a tease. And perhaps the only thing we like more than not knowing about something is the pay-off. Finding out the answer to a long-awaited mystery and reaching a conclusion. But without the initial enigma being there in the first place, the pay-off is pretty irrelevant. The build is everything.
Well, Impact Wrestling are on a role these days, with Slammiversary selling out and the product being arguably more exciting than ever before - thanks to an incredible feud between Sami Callihan and Pentagon Jr, and Austin Aries' title run among other things, but something Impact Wrestling have done oh, so perfectly recently is a wonderful little nuance - and it's building up talent.
One particular instance of this has to be the build up the debut of a new star appearing on television very shortly, and that came in the form of some mysterious vignettes that led to the eventual teaser clip this week announcing that "Scarlett Bordeaux" will be making her debut on next week's show - but who exactly is Scarlett Bordeaux?
Well, all Impact have told is so far is that she's beautiful, glamorous, and will be debuting next week. That's enough, right?
Only Sportskeeda gives you the latest Wrestling News, rumors and updates.
Wrong. As with most teaser clips, it left fans wanting to know EVERYTHING about Bordeaux.
Well, if you want to know more about "The Perfect 10" after watching that video, and I bet you do, we're going to tell you everything you need to know about Scarlett Bordeaux - and not just that she's 27 years old, five-foot-eight and from Chicago. We have the really interesting stuff here, like why WWE fans will DEFINITELY recognise Bordeaux, and how she's a woman of many talents.
And just like the deadly sins, we have seven of them lined up for you, so sit back, relax, and get ready to learn about one of Impact Wrestling's best kept secrets.
#7 She was a Rosebud
Let's start with this because, well, who wasn't, right?
Braun Strowman, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Carmella, Kalisto, James Ellsworth, Taeler Hendrix, Jimmy Jacobs, Bull James, Sami Callihan, Simon Gotch.
Those people don't share much in common aside from their profession, but one other thing they have in common is that they all played the same role in WWE at one point or another - party animal!
They've all been there. Adam Rose's party entourage was a goldmine of talent, and one which Scarlett was a part of "about 15 times" before March 2015. And while Adam Rose is no longer a WWE star, his character there lives on and it seems like the legacy of the Rosebud only continues to provide talent after talent in WWE and beyond.
Out of the 15 times Bordeaux was a Rosebud, she had one appearance at WWE Payback, and she even worked house shows as one of Rose's colourful companions!
#6 Her Impact debut isn't actually her debut
While Impact Wrestling may be touting Scarlett Bordeaux as a new signing, she actually competed for TNA during the One Night Only Knockouts Knockdown PPV back in 2014, losing her only match to Angelina Love.
Now, there's no shame in losing to the veteran star, and if you're going to have one match in Impact Wrestling, the six-time Knockout Champion would definitely be a popular choice to share the ring with - and Bordeaux more than held her own!
Now, there's no smoke and mirrors here, no different name. Scarlett Bordeaux was indeed named Scarlett Bordeaux for this match but never wrestled for Impact again after the match which took place four years ago.
Needless to say, the match was pretty impressive, as you can see below. Bordeaux will be a huge hit for Impact if this is anything to go by!
#5 She's a successful model
Okay, so this might not come as a huge surprise given the teaser video Impact Wrestling sent out on Bordeaux, but she's had a very accomplished modelling career outside of the squared circle.
We're keeping this one PG, but one thing's for sure, Bordeaux isn't shy in front of the camera - whether it be rolling video in the ring, or sizzling snaps in sunnier settings.
Scarlett is also a singer, but her audio talents are slightly harder to find online than her modelling work. As I said, we're keeping things PG here, but one Google search of Bordeaux and her vast modelling portfolio is there for all to see.
#4 She was trained by two former WWE stars
Okay, so it won't come as much of a surprise that Al Snow trained Scarlett, granted, as he is a very accomplished trainer and has had a hand in training a plethora of up and coming talents.
Snow is obviously well known for a WWE career in which he won the European Championship, the Hardcore Championship and the Tag Team Championship alongside Mankind. Snow is also very well known for his work in wrestling after retiring, working behind the scenes and as a trainer.
The other talent, though, who trained Bordeaux may be a bit more surprising, and it's another former WWE man named Nick Dinsmore, also known as Eugene!
Eugene also held a WWE title when he won the Tag Team belts with NXT General Manager William Regal!
#3 She's had a lengthy Ring Of Honor career
Six years, to be precise. While Bordeaux may be new to Impact, she made her debut for Ring of Honor in 2012, accompanying the new member of The House of Truth Matt Taven alongside Truth Martini for his match against Adam Cole for the ROH World Television Championship.
Known as the Hoopla Hotties, she and Valerie Malone would accompany Taven to all his matches from then on in. Bordeaux then made her in-ring debut in April 2012 when she competed in a Four Corners "Women of Honor" match against Cherry Bomb, MsChif, and the eventual winner Athena.
Alongside Bordeaux, Taven was an ROH Television Champion, but he eventually lost the title to Tommaso Ciampa, which led to the split from Bordeaux. Scarlett would go on to share ring announcer duties with Bobby Cruise at television tapings and live events - announcing duties at ROH's 12th Anniversary Show.
Scarlett also competed alongside Taeler Hendrix and "Crazy" Mary Dobson in a losing effort against Veda Scott, Heather Patera and Leah von Dutch.
#2 Her list of "favourite wrestlers" is very interesting
Bordeaux's list of favourite wrestlers just shows how much of a student of wrestling and an educated fan of the business she is - and while all of the names listed make sense when you see Bordeaux's work, it's a versatile list, to say the least.
Scarlett cites Lita as one of her favourite wrestlers, which may seem like an obvious choice due to the WWE Hall of Famer's contribution to wrestling and just how much of a pioneer of women's wrestling she was.
I mean, many women and men would probably name Lita as a staple of WWE during the Attitude Era and she'd most likely be one of the first two names mentioned if you asked almost anyone to name a famous female wrestler.
The names joining her at the top of the list, however, make for interesting reading, with wrestling legends like Bull Nakano, Hamada, and the very well respected Gail Kim being joined by two incredibly different stars in the hard-hitting Awesome Kong and WWE's Maryse.
The latter's work as a valet and wrestler would definitely parallel that of what we've seen of Bordeaux thus far.
#1 She made her WWE in-ring debut in 2016
You may still be wondering why Bordeaux's face is so familiar after reading through this list, but the most recent and obvious explanation is that she was on Raw just 18 months ago.
Bordeaux wrestled Nia Jax in a losing effort on Raw while wearing a Sasha Banks t-shirt. While Jax made short work of Scarlett, Impact's new signing did cut a promo outside the ring pre-match. The match only lasted one minute.
Bordeaux merely went under the name Scarlett on Raw, and the Sasha Banks shirt was prevalent as Jax her after the match to find better role models than Sasha Banks.
The match was a pretty solid event in the build-up to Banks and Jax's feud for The Boss' WWE Women's Championship and Bordeaux's performance, while short, definitely helped progress the rivalry.
