Female Star Quits WWE: “It Was That Bad”
Former WWE female developmental talent, Masyn Holiday, recently called it quits. The reason for her abrupt departure has finally come to light.
Holiday, aka Darci Khan, changed her Instagram username from her ring name to her real name a few days ago, and fans were quick to notice. Cory Hays later confirmed that Holiday had indeed left WWE.
A few hours ago, Darci logged into her Instagram account to confirm her WWE departure and also revealed the reason behind her exit.
Masyn Holiday Was “Extremely Unhappy” In WWE
She disclosed that she was unhappy in WWE to the point where she was anxious and depressed all the time.
She had been wanting to leave WWE for a while now, but hesitated because of future uncertainties. One day, she asked God to help and guide her, and she finally found the courage to speak to her coaches and quit the promotion.
“I was very, very, very, very, very, extremely unhappy at that job. My depression and anxiety at an all time high. Lost myself like I would look at myself mirror and didn’t even know who I was anymore. It was that bad. I cried for months straight.”
“And what kept me there is me telling myself, you don’t know what you’re gonna do next. Well, what if you leave the job and you’re still depressed and you’re still miserable? Those things kept me where I wasn’t supposed to be for way too long. And literally the day that I left, it felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders.”
“The day I quit, I did not plan to quit at all. It was all God, I’m telling you. Before I walked in the building, I prayed to God. I wrote in my journal at 1:20pm I said, God, I need you to guide me through this practice. I need you to give me this practice. Because I was on the verge of the whole day. I knew I didn’t have the strength to make it through practice by myself because I just did not want to do that. I did not want to wrestle anymore. It was an unbearable weight that I couldn’t hold myself.”
“Like, I walk into practice, my coach comes up to me and she says, what’s wrong, Mason? And you know when you already finna cry. Yeah, it all just came out. And she’s like, you want to talk about it now? Backtrack. I knew that when I was going to quit that I was going to talk to my coach first. So in that moment, I was like, you know what? Yeah, I want to talk about it. I was like, I don’t want to wrestle anymore.”
“And she was like, honestly, I can see it on your face every day. She said, when you show up, it looks like you have to be here, not that you want to be here. And she was like, in this business, like, you have to love it, you have to want it in your heart.”
“And I went and spoke to him and I said, I quit. I can’t do it anymore. My heart is not in it. And I don’t want to waste your time. I don’t want to waste my coach’s time, I don’t want to waste other athletes times. And I, most importantly, I don’t want to waste my time.”
Khan explicitly stated that her intention behind this message was not to take a swipe at the WWE at all.
