AEW Star Stepping Away From Professional Wrestling

Jul 18, 2022

The All Elite Wrestling roster is loaded with talent at the moment, but it looks like at least one name will be going on hiatus. AQA recently took to social media to announce that she’s stepping away from professional wrestling when she issued the following statement:

“I want to take this time to say thank you to anyone who has ever cheered for me, supported me, bought merch, had me on your podcast or wrote an article about me. Those who sent loving messages, made fan art, gave me a hug during a meet & greet, or a high-five on my way to and from the ring. Promoters who booked me, opponents that stood across from me, and my trainers for teaching me everything I know for I wouldn’t have made it this far without all of you.

At this time, I have decided to step away from professional wrestling for the immediate future. For the past few years, both mentally and physically, I have not been in a great place with wrestling, and silly me, I kept pushing, through because I didn’t want to be seen as weak, but it only sucked the fun out of every opportunity I had. I hope during this time I’ll be able to reflect deeply and see what path is best for me.

Thank you AEW for granting me this time. Until I see you all again, much love. ♡”

AQA previously worked in NXT under the name Zayda Ramier, but she was released from the company last year. She went on to make her debut on the February 9 episode of Dynamite when she faced off against Jade Cargill. AQA last wrestled for AEW during the June 11 AEW Dark tapings.
