Priscilla Kelly, formerly known as GiGi Dolin during her time with WWE, had been set to appear for the Israeli Pro Wrestling Association’s event on April 6th in Neve Yarak, Israel. After a large amount of backlash, Kelly withdrew from the event. She posted the following statement on her social media at that time:

“I have made the decision to not travel to Israel for the show that was announced earlier. My intention was never to make a political statement, but to entertain those who were not tied to horrific humanitarian crisis, I do not want to be a part of this any further or give the idea that I condone the actions of the government in any way. I apologize for any harm this may have caused.”

Priscilla Kelly’s explanation and apology apparently wasn’t enough for many folks that spend too much of their time tweeting at people they disagree with, as she later deactivated her social media accounts after what she referred to as “an influx of violent messages”.

Kelly has been working for various independent promotions since her departure from WWE in May 2025.
