Ivelisse is coming to the Squared Circle Expo. She is a welcome addition to a stacked lineup that already includes women wrestling legends including Madusa, Vickie Guerrero, Melina, Renee Michelle, Francine, Tay Conti, Dr. Britt Baker, Shawna Reed and Nyla Rose, as well as many male wrestling legends.

Born in Puerto Rico, Ivelisse started training to be a wrestler at the age of 15. After debuting in the World Wrestling Council, she also wrestled for the International Wrestling Association, before moving on to the Chicago wrestling scene.

In 2011, Ivelisse competed on WWE's Tough Enough. An injury ended her quest, but she was signed to a developmental deal.

Ivelisse wrestled for Florida Championship Wrestling, NXT and the independent scene, before joining Shine and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. From 2014-2019, she wrestled for Lucha Underground.

In 2019, Ivelisse joined All Elite Wrestling, appearing as part of AEW Women's Casino Battle Royal at AEW All Out. She did some tag team wrestling and also had a match with Thunder Rosa for the title, but was unable to beat the champ.

During her career, Ivelisse has already won more than 15 titles in various organizations. She also ranked No. 7 of the top 50 female wrestlers in the PWI Female 50 in 2014. At only 33, Ivelisse has a lengthy resume, but is still young enough to have a long career ahead of her.

Ivelisse appearing at he Squared Circle Expo is a rare opportunity to meet the talented wrestler. I have not seen any other appearances by her.

The addition of Ivelisse to the Squared Circle Expo is more proof of the tireless effort of the SCE promoters. With just 10 days until the SCE debuts in Indianapolis, the promoters continue to add more talent and events..With an event that is already jam-packed with talent and activities and tickets running low, it would be easy to sit back and have the SCE debut as is. Instead, the organizers are working hard now and will continue working hard throughout the event to make this a spectacular debut.

The Squared Circle Expo will be a unique fan experience. Being held at the Wyndham Indianapolis West May 14-15, SCE is promoted as a "convention dedicated to the culture of professional wrestling and sports entertainment." The Squared Circle Expo takes the best elements of conventions and adds a few new ones.

The two day event will include wrestling superstars, meet and greets, photo ops, special events, seminars, memorabilia vendors, Q&A panels and more. There will even be a live wrestling show on Saturday night. In addition to the previously listed women superstars, also appearing are Booker T, the Gunn Club (Billy, Austin and Colten Gunn), Chris Masters, JTG, Kane, the Headbangers, Dustin Rhodes, Jake Roberts, Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, Charles Wright, Dan Severn, Duke Droese, The Boogeyman, the Highlanders, Al Snow, Kevin Thorn, Cody Hawk, Shark Boy, Jimmy & Jazzy Yang, Elijah Burke, Kevin Sullivan and more. The SCE promoters promise they aren't done with guest announcements either.

I will be "On the Beat" all weekend, tweeting live updates. I will also provide a full recap here after the weekend.
