– In a post on Twitter, Xia Brookside confirmed that she has been released from WWE. Her name was included among several talents that had been moved to WWE’s Alumni section yesterday.

She wrote: “Where it all began. 8th August 2018 I debuted for the @WWE #maeyoungclassic, 28th august 2018 I signed my first contract. This month would have been 4 years with the WWE. From the 18/19 year old girl travelling the world on her own doing tours of Japan/America/Europe, making a name for herself to the incredible journey I’ve had on the WWE NXTUK brand. It’s been a blast.

It’s not over, this is a new chapter in my life that I am very optimistic and excited about.

Thank you for everyone in @WWE that supported me and to all my fans that have stayed and grown with me.

Here’s to the next chapter! LFG!”

Thank you @TripleH @WWE 🙏🏻✨ pic.twitter.com/Gz12EbrSd9
