A jaw-dropping former footballer who swapped the beautiful game for the wrestling ring has shown she has still got it with a series of dazzling training drills. And cheeky fans have been left swooning, with some even admitting they’ve “fallen in love”.

Jade Gentile, who wrestled under the ring name Jazmyn Nyx in WWE’s developmental brand, previously played college football before turning out at semi-professional level in Iceland.

But it seems she has not lost her touch. The stunner recently slipped back into her football boots to take fans through a training session, showing off her skills with a series of impressive strikes on goal.

“Mind you it’s been over 4 years since I’ve played in a game so I’m RUSTY,” she joked. Before adding she’s being looking to join a local league but no success.

“Still got that Knuckleball spinning,” one fan shared. While a second said: “Good to see you playing football again!”

“R u trying to make a comeback,” a third questioned. And another added: “If this is you rusty I’m almost scared to know how good you are…I think I’ve fallen in love!”

She was first presented as part of NXT’s fall class of 2022, a couple of months after first taking some steps into the squared circle. The stunning brunette had spent the last two seasons on the volcanic island playing as a winger for UMF Afturelding.

The NXT superstar had grown up playing football stateside, and she had a decent college career with the University of West Virginia.

However, when she was offered the chance to play semi-professionally in Iceland, she jumped at the chance.

While there are traces of her past footballing life, Jade loves to share snaps that show off her curvy body. One picture is taken in the Sky Lagoon in Iceland, with Gentile showing off her gorgeous looks with a stunning backdrop.

However, there are some snaps where Jade can be seen practising her footballing skills, and another shows off the American in her UMF Afturelding kit.
