Bea Priestley Says STARDOM Contacted Her Immediately After WWE Release

In an interview with That Sweet Pop (via Fightful), Bea Priestley, who was Blair Davenport in WWE, said that STARDOM contacted her almost immediately she was released. She was let go back in February.

She said: “I’m self-aware enough to see my own situation. I’m not oblivious to the fact that I’m not getting booked a lot. There is only so much time where they’re going to see how much I’m getting paid on paper and see how much work I’ve done and be like, ‘She’s costing us more money than she’s earning us.’ I’m not oblivious to how business works. When I got the call, I was just a name on a piece of paper. It was just after Rumble, so they re-signed people to big contracts. They need to make that money back somehow. It was basically, ‘We’re sorry. Due to budget cuts and this and that.’ ‘No worries. Thank you for the opportunity.’ That was it. I think I ended the call on him. I don’t need a big explanation. I think STARDOM actually reached out ten minutes after it got announced on Twitter.”

It was pointed out that some wrestlers make more outside of WWE. She added: “I technically am, at this point. I’m contracted now to STARDOM full-time.“
