Rachel Childres (born July 1, 1986) is an American retired professional wrestler best known by her ring name Rachel Summerlyn. She wrestled for several independent wrestling promotions, most notably for Shimmer Women Athletes and IWA Mid-South. She formerly performed for several Northern United States-based independent promotions as well as the all-female promotion Shimmer Women Athletes. Under her original ring name Rachel Putski, she was billed as the granddaughter of former professional wrestler and 1995 WWF Hall of Famer Ivan Putski, though they are not actually related or otherwise associated.

Rachel made her debut as Rachel Putski and on November 3, 2006, took part in the first ever Queen of the Deathmatch tournament, where she defeated Vanessa Kraven in a thumbtack death match in the first round, but ended up being eliminated in the quarter finals by the eventual winner of the whole tournament Mickie Knuckles in a taipei death match. After the tournament, and a call from Ivan Putski's lawyers, she changed her ring name to Rachel Summerlyn. After missing the following year's tournament, she came back to take part in Queen of the Deathmatch 2008. She defeated Annie Social in the first round but lost in the semifinals to the eventual winner Rebecca Payne. On May 4, 2009, she defeated Hailey Hatred, Daffney and Mickie Knuckles to win IWA-MS' second Volcano Girls tournament. On June 21, 2009, she took part in Anarchy Championship Wrestling's first annual American Joshi Queen of Queens tournament where she was eliminated in the semifinals by Sara Del Rey.
