Missa Kate Talks About Her NWA Exit, Says She Learned A Lot There

In an interview with Fightful, Missa Kate spoke about her recent exit from NWA and had glowing things to say about her time there. Here are highlights:

On her NWA exit: “I will say yes, I am no longer part of the NWA. Before I say anything, I will say, obviously as I posted, I have learned a lot there. So I am very blessed for any experience that I have had there. ‘Cause it’s taught me so much and all the fun jazz, right? Before I get all sappy. I’m not big on sappy things. Every once in a while I’ll get in my feels. There was one of the shows I wasn’t able to get to for personal reasons, but then after that, I did do a set of tapings with them and they haven’t aired those matches, which I was really surprised at. So there are some secret Missa Kate matches in the archive of NWA. One was against Kenzie Paige, one was against Ella Envy. I was proud of those matches. I had a really fun time with them and it was really exciting. So that I don’t know what happened to them. I don’t know why they got [postponed]. As far as me not being a part of them anymore, um, I wish I could have some cool, exciting story where I’m like, ‘Screw them. I hate this place,’ and throw my tile and leave. But honestly, it was just end of a contract. As far as I know, we left on good terms. So I wish I had some really fun, exciting story, but ultimately that’s what I came down to. I don’t know on their end. I don’t know. I was surprised that I wasn’t invited back to the pay-per-view or another set of tapings. That surprised me. When asked, I didn’t get any negative feedback. I mean, it was just kind of like, ‘Oh, just not happening this time.’ I was like, ‘Okay….’”

On deciding to leave: “After Maddie left there, obviously, ‘cause you know you’re known as a tag team. So you’re just kind of like, ‘Alright, where’s this going to go from here?’ But I would, again, like consistently trying to pick Billy’s brain. So I wasn’t, at that time like, ‘Okay, what’s going to happen?’ I guess, is where I was at. Billy and I have good communication as far as I knew. Anytime I saw him about giving him ideas and whatnot. He was like willing to listen. It was, again, it’s just a matter of like his direction and where he saw things. So after she left, I was just kind of like, ‘Okay, what do we do with me now?’ I wouldn’t say it wasn’t until recently, the last show I wasn’t invited to. That’s where I was just like, ‘Okay, what happened?’ Like, ‘What did I do?’ Like, just let me know. But again, it could have been something as simple as, I wasn’t in his vision and that’s fine. But yeah, nobody’s ever contacted me saying anything bad. I’m more than willing to listen, obviously. I kind of saw the writing on the wall and like, ‘Well, if you’re not asking for me back, obviously there’s isn’t going to be any discussion further,’ which again, I’ve always been like, ‘I’m never going to stay where I’m not welcomed.’ I don’t want to say that’s what it was, but that’s the kind of feeling that I got, obviously, after you don’t get asked back. But, it’s kind of like, ‘If you don’t see me as part of your product, you don’t see that I can benefit you in any way, then that’s fine. That’s kind of on you.’ Again, you’re paying my bills. You’re my boss. So if that’s your view, then so be it. But again, we’d have to you have to get Billy on here and ask him.”
