Brooke Tessmacher, born Brooke Nichole Adams on December 4, 1984, in St. Louis, Missouri, is an American model, fitness enthusiast, and retired professional wrestler.
Standing at 5 feet 4 inches tall with an athletic build honed from years of competitive sports and rigorous training, she has captivated audiences with her charisma, resilience, and striking features.
Relocating to Houston, Texas, at the age of seven with her family, Adams navigated early hardships, including a period of living out of her mother’s car before settling into a stable life.
Her journey from a high school athlete, excelling in volleyball, basketball, rugby, and track at Spring High School, to a prominent figure in modeling and wrestling exemplifies determination and adaptability.
Beyond the ring, Tessmacher has embraced roles as a mother to two children, Jace born in 2016 and Phoenix in 2018, and a partner to model and personal trainer Weston Wayne Piper, to whom she is engaged.
Siblings
Brooke has a fraternal twin sister, Brittaney Adams, who is eight minutes her junior.
The non-identical twins share a profound bond forged through shared childhood challenges, including Brooke’s early battle with cancer and the family’s relocation to Texas amid financial struggles.
Growing up primarily with their mother, the sisters supported each other in a modest household, where Brooke often credits Brittaney’s presence as a stabilizing force during turbulent times.
Career
Tessmacher’s professional trajectory began in the modeling world, where she competed in high-profile bikini pageants such as Miss Hawaiian Tropic Texas in 2008, Miss Swimsuit USA, Miss Hooters, and the Hooters Texas Swimsuit Pageant in 2010, leveraging her fitness background to build visibility.
Her entry into professional wrestling came in 2006 when she signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), debuting as part of the ECW brand’s dance troupe Extreme Exposé alongside Kelly Kelly and Layla-El.

Under the ring name Brooke, she performed in non-competitive roles initially, appearing on shows like ECW on Sci-Fi and WWE Raw, including at WrestleMania 23.
However, her WWE stint ended abruptly in November 2007 with her contract release, prompting a pivot back to modeling and fitness competitions.
The turning point arrived in March 2010 with her debut in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, now Impact Wrestling), initially as Eric Bischoff’s assistant under the moniker Miss Tessmacher—a nod to a Superman character.
Transitioning to in-ring competition in 2011, she teamed with veteran Tara to form TnT, marking her evolution into a full-time wrestler.
Over seven years with TNA until 2017, Tessmacher navigated heel and face turns, including a notable alliance with the Aces & Eights stable as Bully Ray’s on-screen girlfriend.
Feuds with stars like Gail Kim, Mickie James, and Velvet Sky showcased her growing skills, culminating in multiple title pursuits.
After a maternity hiatus following the birth of her first child, she returned sporadically, including a 2012 appearance for Family Wrestling Entertainment (FWE).
Retiring from full-time wrestling around 2017 to focus on family, Tessmacher has since balanced occasional indie bouts with modeling gigs, music video cameos, and entrepreneurial ventures in real estate, amassing an estimated net worth of $2 million from her diverse endeavors.
Accolades
Tessmacher’s in-ring achievements stand as a testament to her perseverance, highlighted by her status as a three-time TNA Knockouts Champion, a prestigious singles title that solidified her as a top competitor in women’s wrestling.
Her first reign began in June 2013 at Slammiversary XI, defeating Mickie James in a match that ended Gail Kim’s dominant run and injected fresh energy into the division.
She defended the belt against challengers like Tara and ODB before losing it to Lei’D Tapa later that year.
Regaining the championship in March 2014 from Madison Rayne in a bout refereed by Taryn Terrell, Tessmacher held it briefly, showcasing her technical prowess and storytelling ability.
Her third and final Knockouts title win came in July 2015, further cementing her legacy amid intense rivalries.
Complementing these singles honors, she captured the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship once in July 2011 alongside Tara as TnT, defeating Rosita and Sarita at Hardcore Justice in her inaugural wrestling title victory, which they defended successfully multiple times.
