![]() So nobody knows except myself, Mandy, Angelina, and the management at Ring of Honor, about this talk, about the three of us eventually coming together, and debuting this new faction at Madison Square Garden… It was kind of just a brief text message, about the idea, and how Ring of Honor wanted to introduce the three of us as a strong female heel faction… Madison Rayne was not even in Ring of Honor yet. Out of the blue, I get a text message from someone in Ring of Honor, kind of explaining to me in a nutshell, the vision that the company had for the three of us, meaning me, Angelina and Mandy. I was at a Smashing Pumpkins concert, at Madison Square Garden (last summer) and enjoying myself at the concert. When were you brought into the discussion?Īll that information about what you just said, about The Allure and Madison Rayne pitching us to Ring of Honor, and Ring of Honor shooting us down, is definitely inaccurate. But then Mandy Leon denied that was the case. The word going around was that Ring of Honor passed on the idea, however. There was a rumor going around The Allure reportedly had been pitched by Madison Rayne, whom you previously worked with at Impact Wrestling. The Allure (Photo Credit: Ring Of Honor/Bruno Silveira ![]() Sky did not respond to a request for further comment about the incident, but was forthcoming about her time in Ring of Honor, rumors about the creation of The Allure and how she feels their presence will benefit the company as it faces increasingly stiff competition from WWE and well-funded upstart All Elite Wrestling. Greg Gilleland, General Manager of ROH, tells me that these types of inquiries tend to be “very detailed” and a timeline for its conclusion is not available. Human Resources officials within Sinclair Broadcasting, the parent company of Ring of Honor, are actively conducting an internal investigation into the allegations. “You were the loudest one in the arena both nights when we came out, salivating at the chance to spew your lewd & disgusting comments & cover it up by saying ‘I was booing the heels.’” “Verbal sexual assault on women is inappropriate and you know it,” Sky Tweeted. Sky also refuted his claims that wrestler Delirious was the one who took the fan from his seat and brought him backstage to be confronted by Bully Ray. On social media, the group has fired back and stated the fan had been unruly and sexually harassed them on consecutive nights. According to the fan, he was taken backstage and spoken to sternly and intimidatingly by Bully Ray, Sky’s real-life beau and legendary wrestler, following a heated ringside verbal exchange between himself and the group. More recently they’ve been portrayed as a real-life “mean girls” faction following an incident with a fan earlier this month at a show in Portland, Oregon. Their very creation and who was originally supposed to be in the group have been the subjects of much debate. Since then, the group has been one of the most talked-about factions in the promotion, generating headlines both in and out of the ring. Eight months later everything would come full circle, as The Allure made their shocking debut in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 16,000. To Sky, the entire series of events and coincidences was surreal. Velvet Sky (Photo Credit: Ring Of Honor/Bruno Silveira What’s more? Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is the owner of the National Wrestling Alliance, another promotion with ties to ROH and whose champion would also appear on the G1 Supercard broadcast as a commentator. She had never worked at MSG before, yet there she was at a concert at the very arena when the idea was pitched. ![]() ROH executives wanted the group to debut at Madison Square Garden at the company’s massive G1 Supercard show with New Japan Pro Wrestling the following April. The idea was intriguing, but there’s more to the story.

It would reunite her with her Angeline Love, her former partner in Impact Wrestling, where she skyrocketed to fame as a member of all-girl faction known as The Beautiful People. The storyline pitched was nearly perfect. It was a text message from someone within Ring of Honor gauging her interest in coming to work for the company. ( CBS Baltimore/CBS Local) - Velvet Sky, a self-proclaimed mix of the whit and know-how of WWE Hall of Famer Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and the grace of Miss Elizabeth, was attending a Smashing Pumpkins concert at Madison Square Garden one night last August when her phone buzzed.
