Over the years a lot of wrestlers have come and gone from WWE and back in 2009 Karlee Perez signed a deal with the company. She went on to hone her skills in FCW as Maxine before she eventually started appearing on NXT before NXT became what it is today.
Karlee Perez’s run with WWE only lasted a few years as she requested to be released from the company in 2012. Recently she spoke to The Hannibal TV about why she quit the company and she admitted that she was getting frustrated with the direction that her career was going in while she was signed to WWE.
“From what I remember, I was just getting very frustrated. They were messing with me. They were trying to change my look. They were trying to change my gear because somebody didn’t like it or politically somebody didn’t like it. There was just always something. They wanted me to go back to FCW after I already spent years there. There was no reason for me to go back. It was just this game.”
“Eventually, I was like, well, you know, how long am I gonna play the game and where is this game gonna lead? Am I gonna play the game and just do what they say? I was watching other people who were there way less and had way less experience get paid way more or get their pushes for, once again, political reasons or someone they may have been dating or something they’d done, and I just ended up wanting to remove myself from the situation.”
Following her WWE release Karlee Perez went on to compete in Impact Wrestling, Lucha Underground and MLW. Do you think WWE should have done more with her when she was on the roster? Sound off in the comments below.
