The Entrance
Erika Hammond enters the season with the most unusual credentials of any newcomer: a former WWE Diva who performed as Veronica Lane, and now a fitness entrepreneur with a private island on the itinerary. Bravo notes she takes the other women there for getaways. Originally from Waco, Texas, she began boxing at fourteen and never really put the gloves down; Bravo says she fell in love with it at once.
The Estate Appraisal
After leaving the ring in 2016, she moved to New York and helped develop the program at Rumble Boxing, then partnered with Equinox to launch the boxing-inspired KNOCKOUT class. She is also the founder and CEO of the activewear line P.S. Active, so the woman who teaches the class also designs what you sweat in. Darling, that is vertical integration with a ponytail. Her style is the athlete’s version of luxury: sculpted, sleek, built for movement, and photographed as though the gym were a runway. It is a corporate baddie wardrobe with better posture, and a reminder that discipline is its own accessory.
The Season Portrait
Her introduction comes in the second episode, when fellow newcomers Hailey Glassman and Daisy Toye take a group fitness class she created, a very on-brand way to meet the room.
The Verdict
She is placed in the Sovereign Estate as head of the Corporate Wing’s training division, where the boardroom has a heavy bag and the dress code is performance fabric. The Heiress admires a woman who turned a wrestling career into a brand portfolio and still arrives on time.
