Kay Lee Ray has shared her honest thoughts on her roles within WWE as Alba Fyre, prior to her departure from the company.
While Kay Lee Ray had a dominant start to her time in WWE – holding the NXT UK Women’s Championship for 649 recognised days, she didn’t quite reach the same heights of singles success on the main roster.
Majority of the then-Alba Fyre’s WWE main roster run saw her represent teams ahead of her eventual departure, from her and Isla Dawn’s Unholy Union tag-team, to Chelsea Green’s Secret Hervice.
Speaking with the Daily Star, Kay Lee Ray stated that she viewed her time in WWE as if she was an actor on a TV show playing a role.
When asked if she was frustrated about the lack of singles opportunities on the main roster, Ray responded:
“No, I’ve been singles for a long time, so it was good to get into some tag-team stuff with Isla. We had a good feud as well, I think we worked really well together.
“I enjoyed the feud we had together, then that came into the tag-team stuff. It’s just another character for me to play, I’m always going to try to do that to my best ability.
“Same with the Secret Hervice stuff, it wouldn’t have been my go-to, but I had a lot of fun doing that.”

Kay Lee Ray’s mindset explains why she was able to jump into any role the company needed her in, from tough brawler to comedy character.
While some stars like Ray are entertaining to watch in less-serious roles from time to time, WWE could do with having more vertical movement so that anybody who proves they can be funny doesn’t automatically have a ceiling preventing them from reaching the main event spots.
Kay Lee Ray also explained the origins of her Alba Fyre WWE name and a rejected pitch for a name they chose not to use, click here to read more.
