Ex-WWE and Playboy star ditches iconic blonde Barbie look to be ‘zombie’

A former WWE blonde bombshell has ditched her Barbie-style look in favour of a horrific-looking zombie life.

Taryn Terrell was known in WWE as Tiffany, and debuted with the company as part of the 2007 WWE Diva Search competition.

She only made it halfway through the competition, but was given a contract by the company to train for an in-ring career at its Florida Championship Wrestling training company.

However, before that, she appeared in Playboy as part of a special College Girls edition – and appeared two further times, both in 2010, with fully naked photos taken before she joined WWE.

She was called up to WWE's main roster in 2008 when she was made the on-screen assistant general manager of the much-maligned ECW brand.

When the brand was scrapped, she was moved to Smackdown and used as an in-ring competitor, even teaming with Kelly Kelly to form the “Blondetourage” tag team.

She was suspended from the company in August 2010 after an unspecified incident with then-husband and former WWE Universal Champion Drew McIntyre – and was sacked a few months later.

However, she built a respectable in-ring career for herself, joining Impact Wrestling to take part in a legendary feud with Gail Kim, and winning the Knockout's Championship on one occasion.

She was even ranked as the 10th best female wrestler in the world by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2015.

And having later joined the National Wrestling Alliance – only leaving in 2022 – she officially retired from wrestling in November.

But the mother-of-two has not left the world of entertainment, after she was filmed dressed as a full zombie, in horrifyingly real prosthetic make-up, while doing a bizarre dance.

The clip, posted on her Instagram, shows her looking like a dead bride from the Victorian times – a stark contrast from her former image.

The attire was donned for US TV horror show Winchesters, with former wrestling colleagues commenting on the drastic change.

Marti Belle, who teamed with Terrell in both Impact and NWA, wrote: “You're the freaking best.”

While friend Chelsea Barber, who filmed the clip, wrote: “The most terrifying, yet somehow still gorgeous monster I have ever seen!”

Terrell posted about her retirement on Instagram last year, and paid tribute to NWA owner and Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan.

She wrote: “Being inside those ropes and connecting with the humans in the crowd fuels me.

“There's no place like it.

“I knew I was read to be done, but I also knew I wanted to feel the rush of having a match again. Billy gave me that.

“But the truth is, it's time to say goodbye. I love entertaining and fully intend to continue that in the way of stunts.”
