Released WWE Talent Comments On Departure

A WWE talent who was released from the company on Friday has opened up following their release from the company.

On Friday, a number of WWE NXT and Performance Center talent were released from their contracts, including a number of faces who had been appearing on Evolve and WWE LFG.

Among the names was Jin Tala (Leigh Laurel), who was a part of the first season of WWE LFG.

Taking to Twitter, Jin Tala has now opened up on her WWE release, saying:

“I have been trying to collect my thoughts & find the right words to address my recent release. Before WWE, I’ve been a jack of all trades with many hobbies but couldn’t settle on one thing … was always missing that flame of passion.

“With contract in hand, I kept thinking “What if … what if this was what I’ve been missing?”

“I found my passion and I was all-in. I wasn’t just fascinated by the physical aspects of pro wrestling, what hooked me was the psychology … the emotions that can be expressed by wrestlers & felt by the audience.

“So for those questioning my commitment, dedication, I can say with a hand on my heart that I didn’t falter. I knew I had weak points in my promos & wrestling, so I put 110%, fed myself with knowledge from my coaches & main roster talent who came through the pc.

“And in the past month, I saw it & I think everyone saw it. I broke down some of those big walls I had failed to break during LFG. My promos were showing range because I finally let go … My move set I recently developed in the ring showed aggression, everything the Legends were looking for. And I was able to showcase that in recent matches. And for me … that was a win.

“Maybe it came down to timing, did I break down those walls quick enough? Maybe I was just an unrecognizable name on a list, or maybe they just don’t see what I see in myself. At the end of the day, the only person I have to prove my worth to is me. I’m not giving up, Jin Tala may be no more. But Leigh Laurel has always been a fighter.”
