Ellering was among WWE talent who have been negative towards the company backstage. The report indicates that she was unhappy about treatment recieved during her time off while injured.
“The gist was that she blew out her knee and she had reconstructive surgery… When she was doing rehab there was something that happened, and I don’t know that it was bad but it was bad enough in the sense of she complained about some treatment.
And when it came time for the cuts everybody who complained, who was not a soldier, everybody who complained were the people that were gone. So, she was basically told that, you know, you’re gone. And she’d actually thought about quitting but had not. But she did not quit, it was WWE’s decision. She was one of those cuts, but she was not unhappy about it either from what I gather.”
WWE released dozens of talent on April 15, in what many have now coined as “Black Wednesday”. A number of NXT stars part of the releases will no longer be under non-compete clauses this week.
