Shantelle Larissa Malawski[1][2] (born January 26, 1986)[1] is a Canadian professional wrestler. She is best known for her time spent with TNA Wrestling, where she wrestled under the ring name Taylor Wilde.

Malawski was under a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) contract from 2006 to 2007, but never made it past the developmental system. In May 2008, Malawski joined TNA and would go on to become a one-time TNA Women's Knockout Champion and also went on to become the inaugural and three-time TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion with her first reign being with her first tag team partner Sarita, her second reign being with her second tag team partner Hamada and her third reign being with her third tag team partner KiLynn King, while also becoming the first wrestler to have held both titles. After departing from TNA in December 2010, Malawski announced her retirement from professional wrestling and wrestled her final match on February 5, 2011 at an independent show. She returned to wrestling with Impact Wrestling in 2021, however, that same year she went on a hiatus while still being under contract with Impact. She returned to Impact in 2022. She once again left TNA (previously known as Impact Wrestling) suddenly in early 2024 and has stepped away from wrestling for the foreseeable future due to multiple personal life factors.[5]
