WWE Fired Ex-NXT Champion After Promising Main Roster Call-Up
A former WWE star was expecting to be called up to the main roster when they got the call that they were being released.
Gigi Dolin was let go from WWE as part of sweeping roster cuts in May 2025, bringing her time in the company to an end. Dolin was best known as part of the Toxic Attraction group, and she held the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship with Jacy Jayne.
The star – now known as Priscilla Kelly outside WWE – was part of another faction with Tatum Paxley and Shotzi immediately before she was let go. Shotzi was also released, while Tatum Paxley now stands as NXT Women’s Champion.
But it seems things could have been very different.
Gigi Dolin Thought She Was Getting WWE Promotion
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Priscilla Kelly discussed her release from WWE and admitted she thought she was getting the call to tell her she was heading to the main roster:
Let me just say this, and I’ve said this before: if they would’ve released me during the time where I was depressed and…I wasn’t putting the most effort into my work, and I kinda let myself go. I would’ve understood.
The timing was so strange to me, because I thought we had such a special thing; I thought there was money – so much money to be made.
I was like, we were getting told that we were getting called up potentially. So, when I got that call that Friday that I was getting released? I thought it was the call that I was getting called up!
