A former WWE star has said sorry and pulled out of a planned show to take place in Israel.

In May 2025, former NXT Tag Team Champion Gigi Dolin was part of roster cuts in WWE, bringing her four-year stint in the company to an end. Following her release, she admitted that she butted heads with one of NXT’s top bosses in her early days in the company.

Since being let go, the star now known as Priscilla Kelly has kept a busy diary, most notably feuding with her old partner in WWE, Shotzi Blackheart, on the independent scene.

Kelly had been announced for IPWA’s Passover Bash on April 6th in Israel, creating a huge amount of negative feedback. Israel is currently committing genocide in Gaza against the Palestinian people, with an increasing outcry among many for the rest of the world to boycott Israel until hostilities stop.

Ex-WWE Star Says Sorry For Israel Booking

Therefore, it didn’t take long for Kelly to change her mind. Taking to social media, she posted a statement explaining that she had pulled out of the booking:

I have made the decision to not travel to Israel for the show that was announced earlier. My intention was never to make a political statement, but to entertain those who were not tied to horrific humanitarian crisis, I do not want to be a part of this any further or give the idea that I condone the actions of the government in any way. I apologize for any harm this may have caused.

Since posting the statement, it seems Priscilla Kelly has deleted her X/Twitter account.
