Former WWE Star Issues Statement On Their Release

The wrestling world is still processing the WWE releases that took place last week as some fan favorites were cut from the roster. Emma happened to be one of the names who was let go, and she recently took to Instagram to post the following statement regarding her release:

“Thank you for all the lovely messages and comments, I see you all and your support never goes unnoticed! ❤️

While I wasn’t expecting a call yesterday, it’s also fair to say that I wasn’t shocked. When I returned to WWE I was so excited, I was ready to work my a** of and do all the things I didn’t get to do first time around. But it became apparent pretty quickly that this wasn’t my time. And that’s ok!

Would I have loved to wrestle a stadium show in my home country, you bet. But now many doorways and opportunities have opened up and that’s exciting.

I feel very fortunate today.

I met my soon to be husband in WWE. I’m so grateful for that and the beautiful life we have been building.

I get to spend more time with family and friends and can really focus on the important things in my life ❤️

And you bet I’m going to be traveling as much as possible I can’t wait to see more of the world, and take you all on more adventures with us soon – In more ways than one! Stay tuned ”

Emma originally signed with WWE in 2011 and she went on to work in NXT before she was called up to the main roster in 2014. She then returned to NXT in 2015, and was brought back to the main roster in 2016. In 2017 it was revealed that Emma had been released, but she wasted little time getting back to work as she went on to wrestle for companies such as ROH and Impact Wrestling. In October of 2022, Emma made her surprise return during an episode of SmackDown, but she had not been making consistent appearances on TV in recent months.

Stay tuned for more updates on WWE releases as they become available.
