Roxxi Laveaux / Nikki Roxx / Nicole Raczynski


Nicole Raczynski (born April 19, 1979) is an American professional female wrestler, better known by her ring name, Nikki Roxx. She is currently working for TNA Wrestling under the ring name Roxxi Laveaux.

As a child, Raczynski attended professional wrestling events at the Boston Garden with her parents. Raczynski trained as a wrestler under Wladek "Killer" Kowalski at the urging of April Hunter who was already training there. She debuted in March 2001 under the ring name Nikki Roxx and later formed a tag team with Hunter called The Killer Babes.

Roxx has wrestled in numerous North American independent promotions such as SHIMMER Women Athletes, Squared Circle Wrestling, Women's Extreme Wrestling, Professional Girl Wrestling Association, New England Championship Wrestling, World Women's Wrestling, Chaotic Wrestling and Ring of Honor. She has wrestled in Mexico for promotions such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre and Lucha Libre Femenil.

Roxx debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on July 15, 2007 at the Victory Road pay-per-view. Identified as "The Voodoo Queen" Roxxi Laveaux, Roxxi was introduced as the valet of the Voodoo Kin Mafia. Following a bout between the Voodoo Kin Mafia and Basham and Damaja, Roxxi brawled with Christy Hemme, the valet of Basham and Damaja.

On the September 27, 2007 edition of iMPACT!, Roxxi defeated Hemme, Gail Kim, Jackie Moore & Ms. Brooks in a Bound For Glory preview match to claim the 10th and final spot in the TNA Women's Championship Gauntlet. Roxxi made it to the final two, although Kim ultimately won to become the first TNA Women's World Champion. On the following pay-per-view, Genesis 2007, Roxxi competed in a 4-Way match between herself, Gail Kim, ODB, and Angelina Love for the TNA Women's Championship. Roxxi had the advantage when she spit Asian mist onto ODB's face, but Gail Kim took down Roxxi long enough to pin ODB and retain her title.

Roxxi competed in a tag team match in Turning Point 2007, teaming up with ODB to take on Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. However, Roxxi and ODB lost the match, with Roxxi taking the pin after the double-team combo of Russian legsweep from Velvet Sky and a big boot from Angelina Love.

On the January 3, 2008 edition of iMPACT!, Roxxi participated in a Gauntlet match that will help determine the 2008 rankings of the TNA Knockouts division. Roxxi made it to the final two, facing off against ODB, but was pinned.

Roxxi was fired from the Voodoo Kin Mafia by Kip James on the January 31, 2008 , edition of iMPACT, because she accidentally threw white powder in the eyes of Kip and cost him the match against Hernandez.

On the March 6 edition of Impact! she was shown in a backstage promo with Angelina Love and Velvet Sky who said they were going to give her a makeover on the following Impact edition, so they could make her into one of the "beautiful people". Roxxi turned face as a result of the makeover by Love and Sky when the duo attacked her and called her a freak, sparking a feud between them.
