25-Year-Old Star Officially Confirms WWE Release
A 25-year-old WWE star took to social media to confirm their release from the company.
Sirena Linton was one of the names that featured on the list of 20+ wrestlers that were let go by the Stamford promotion on April 24.
Linton is known for her time on all three seasons of WWE LFG. She was also one of the wrestlers used to promote Season 3 of Legends & Future Greats, which premiered on A&E on April 26.
While Linton competed on several NXT live shows, she never made her official TV debut on the developmental brand.
On Saturday, May 2, the wrestling company released 4 other popular names in the company—JC Mateo, Tonga Loa, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston.
According to a report by Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez, Woods and Kingston asked for their releases after declining to restructure their contracts.
Reports have also confirmed other wrestling promotions showing an interest in hiring the former multi-time WWE Tag Team Champions.
Sirena Linton Calls WWE Release ‘Gut-Wrenching’
Former WWE and LFG participant Sirena Linton took to X to share her thoughts about the recent releases, including her own, calling the entire situation ‘gut-wrenching.’
It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I share I was part of the 20+ mass departures from WWE.
Although this news has been gut-wrenching, I know I have done absolutely everything in my power to show how badly I wanted this and to make my dreams a reality.
I carry a list of accomplishments I am deeply proud of. I am a first-generation Mexican American college graduate with a Master’s Degree. I went from being a walk-on to becoming an NCAA All-American gymnast and competing in two National Championships. I walked through the doors of WWE straight out of college and, within a year and a half-with zero prior experience-was featured across 3 seasons of a show.
I take tremendous pride in my work ethic, my passion, my resilience, my vulnerability, my talent, and most importantly, my character. I work relentlessly, and I know exactly who I am.
I have immense gratitude for everything I learned and for every person who helped me grow-as a performer, wrestler, actress, athlete, and woman. I am especially proud of the work I did on LFG Season 3, and I cannot wait for you all to see it.
As I look forward into what my future holds and explore the opportunities and endeavors that await, my life’s goal has always remained the same-to inspire and empower others. To be fully, boldly, and unapologetically myself, and to do all things with love. This is what has always made me spicy.
To everyone who has supported me, followed my journey, or is just now discovering who Sirena Linton is-thank you for your love, your belief, and your unwavering support. I trust that in time, God’s plan will reveal itself exactly as it should. Stay tuned – my journey doesn’t stop here.
