New UFC signee Kayla Harrison had been in the limelight long before the news of her joining Dana White‘s promotion. She was once a guest host on the popular television show, ‘Impractical Jokers‘. In a dramatic turn of events, the 33-year-old MMA phenomenon put the host, James Murray, through a table.

‘Impractical Jokers’ is one of the biggest television hit shows ever. The show has its own sets of fans and followers, who love every episode. Moreover, the showrunners and the hosts have collaborated with many celebrities, and apparently, Kayla Harrison was one of those guest stars as well.

Every episode of ‘Impractical Jokers’ has friends and hosts James Murray, Brian Quinn, Joe Gatto, and Sal Vulcano competing against each other by completing embarrassing dares in public.

James Murray had no chance of taking down Kayla Harrison. Whenever he would try, the MMA star would shove him off pretty quickly. However, in his third attempt, Murray was put through a table in proper WWE fashion by Harrison in front of all the guests at the cocktail party. It surely made for a funny sight for the viewers. However, ‘Impractical Jokers’ was not the only television show she appeared on. Harrison also made an appearance on AEW’s Dynamite show once as well.

American Top Team’s Dan Lambert was featured prominently on AEW television in 2021. This led to many fighters from his team making appearances on the Dynamite brand, which airs on Wednesdays. Kayla Harrison was also one of the fighters who accompanied Lambert, in his team’s feud with the Inner Circle stable, featuring Chris Jericho. However, the former two-time Olympic champion did not seem to like that experience.

Kayla Harrison was apparently on the hunt for a real challenge, which she did not get in AEW. She then proceeded to take aim at some of the wrestlers, claiming that she’d beat them all. “I want an actual challenge. Going and beating up people who hang out in their mom’s basement is like, cool. I would beat up all the guys on those rosters, like, a 100 percent,” Harrison told Ariel Helwani during an episode of ‘The MMA Hour’.
