WWE Star Shares Thoughts After Being Released
WWE recently released several talents as part of its developmental cuts.
The release came ahead of the Crown Jewel PLE and included stars from NXT, ID, and EVOLVE. As many as 12 wrestlers were removed from the roster, including Stevie Turner, Lance Anoa’i, Wes Lee, and Brayden ‘BJ’ Ray.
Jin Tala, who was a part of EVOLVE, was also on the release list.
Tala took to social media to share her thoughts on being cut from the WWE’s developmental system. She also spoke about her commitment to the craft and the burden of chasing the dream.
I have been trying to collect my thoughts & find the right words to address my recent release. Before WWE, I’ve been a jack of all trades with many hobbies, but couldn’t settle on one thing… was always missing that flame of passion.
I wasn’t just fascinated by the physical aspects of pro wrestling, what hooked me was the psychology… the emotions that can be expressed by wrestlers & felt by the audience.
She also directly addressed her doubters.
So for those questioning my commitment, dedication… I can say with a hand on my heart that I didn’t falter. I knew I had weak points, so I put 110%, fed myself with knowledge from my coaches & main roster talent who came through the PC.
