Released WWE Name Explains Why Sudden Departure Was A Blessing

WWE

Former NXT interviewer McKenzie Mitchell has now opened up about her WWE departure, commenting on the possibility of a return.

Mitchell announced that she had been released by WWE on December 1, amid the most recent round of WWE layoffs, in which she was the only on-screen talent let go.

The former WWE name recently hinted that she’d be interested in returning to the company, taking to Twitter to tell fans ‘never say never’ regarding a potential comeback.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Mitchell noted that she’s excited for the future. Addressing her exit, she said:

“I’m good. You know, I think once the dust has settled, it’s been really, it’s a blessing. I think that there are so many new beginnings, and I’m excited to see what’s to come in the future.

“The outreach and the support that I’ve gotten from friends, family, coworkers, colleagues, production, staff executives in WWE, the fans most importantly, it’s been insane.

“That’s what made me emotional when I got released was being able to hear from everyone how much I impacted their opinion when watching WWE and when watching NXT.

“That’s what made me emotional was hearing from all of the people their favourite moments in my career and the favourite interviews that I’ve done and the magic that was created on screen like that made it made such a big impact on me to see what I made on them.”

Mitchell once again stated ‘never say never’ regarding a WWE return, noting that she didn’t get to have a proper goodbye in WWE.

Commenting on her goals she didn’t accomplish, Mitchell said:

“I really always wanted to have my WrestleMania moment, just as the Superstars do. They want to have their moment of having all their hard work that’s built up to this moment, to this match, to this exact, huge capstone experience.

“I didn’t get to have that WrestleMania interview or host a kick-off show. That was something I did for NXT. But I didn’t get to do that on a larger scale with the WWE main roster.

“So that’s something I’ve always really wanted to do, and to have the Royal Rumbles and go on the road and say, Hey, I made it to Raw to SmackDown so that was a bummer.

“That’s a bummer to say like, I wanted to do those things. And I wanted to do WrestleMania.”

Mitchell’s departure led to a change to a WWE announce team, which you can read more about right here.

Ahead of NXT Deadline on December 8, Shawn Michaels commented on Mitchell’s release from the company, revealing that he was “taken by surprise” by her departure.
