Former WWE Star Wants To Produce TV In Wrestling

WWE

A former WWE star wants to produce television in wrestling.

Alicia Fox had a very lengthy run in WWE, making her main roster debut in 2008 and spending well over a decade with the company until ending her full-time run in 2019. Other than an appearance in the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble match, Fox hasn’t wrestled since then.

In May, the former Divas Champion confirmed the end of her contract with WWE, but she has indicated that it will not be the end of her time in wrestling.

Speaking to Ryback on The Ryback Show, Fox was asked to describe how it has been for her since her release from WWE. Emphasizing her desire to continue her involvement in wrestling, she said:

“I’m out of the Easy Bake Oven, WWE that is. I’ve been out for about a month. It was just kind of awkward. It’s this moment to have my name and to put some steam under it has been a dream of mine, but definitely has a lot of fear to it.”

“I’m stepping out and trying to figure out what’s the next right best thing. Just to be a service for the industry. I don’t see myself being back in another oven, but I want to be part of the industry.”

“It’s definitely different out here. Reclaiming my personality is where I’m at. Now that I have my name and I feel I can say my truth, I’m looking forward to seeing what that will look like. I have no idea.”

When asked if she’s interested in coaching or working behind the scenes, Fox replied:

“I always had this interest in being in the TV truck. I always wanted to be like little Kevin Dunn Jr. I think it’d be fun to do producing and directing, the meat and potatoes of the TV aspect.”

“Sometimes, what’s portrayed on TV, I would do my best I could to contribute to a company that wants to help the girls know an appropriate standard; the gear, certain moves where their legs are hard cam, ‘close your legs.’ Little things. That’s with any talent.”

“Just more of the overall development package. There are certain things that I think, social media allows personalities to seep in on our caricature as performers. Sometimes, I think that can be a little misleading for the product.”

“For myself, it was a little difficult to embody my Total Diva character with my wrestling character because one is PG and one is not. In a sense of producing content for a company, I would love to be in some conversations that would help elevate the voices of what real standard TV should be appropriate.”

“Right now, we’re in a very hyper-sexed environment with social media information everywhere. I would love to be able to keep the standards of a company clean and green. High ethical, good quality content.”

Stating that she would love to contribute and help others, Alicia said:

“When it comes to helping talent in the ring, I would love to contribute as talent, as a coach, I would just love to contribute. I don’t see myself really wanting to play the politics,”

Alicia Fox will make her in-ring return at the Reality of Wrestling Summer of Champions show in July.
