Fans may remember Rachel Bonnetta from her time on FOX Sports and the NFL Network, but she recently made the announcement that she'll be coming back to sports television in a new series.

Bonnetta noted that she will be appearing in Vice's "The Grudge," and the first episode airs on Wednesday night.

"BACK ON TV BABY! Brand new show *The Grudge* premieres tonight on Vice Sports @ 10 ET/PT. All about the biggest rivalries in sports. Shaq vs Kobe is up first," the host said on social media Wednesday.

As she mentioned, the series focuses on rivalries between athletes. The documentary series is in the same style as "Dark Side of the Ring" and other Vice Sports series.

Episodes set to air in the future focus on "Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers, Colorado Avalanche vs. Detroit Red Wings, Terrell Owens vs. Donovan McNabb, and Brooks Koepka vs. Bryson DeChambeau."

Bonnetta has hosted other shows, beginning with "FOX Bet Live" on Fox Sports 1. From there, she moved to the NFL Network where she worked as a host on "NFL GameDay Morning" and "Good Morning Football."

She was let go by NFL Media in 2023 as part of a larger group of layoffs, and began to focus on another career in stand-up comedy.

In addition to hosting jobs and her career in stand-up comedy, Bonnetta has also made podcast appearances.

Bonnetta has worked with some of the biggest names in sports media, including Kay Adams, who now has her own show "Up and Adams" with FanDuel TV.

VICE Sports has also focused on professional wrestling, mixed martial arts and college basketball. 

The company recently released a documentary focused on Rick Pitino's return to major college basketball called "Pitino: Red Storm Rising." Several episodes of the series are currently available on YouTube, providing fans with an in-depth view of the legendary head coach.

We'll see what the future has in store for VICE Sports, "The Grudge" and Bonnetta as she makes her return to television and sports media.

Fans can watch "The Grudge: Shaq vs Kobe" at 10 PM nationwide on Wednesday night, with more episodes to follow in the coming weeks.
