AEW

Sonny Kiss has revealed when she found out her AEW contract wasn’t being renewed.

Sonny Kiss has been a member of the AEW roster since 2019, being more prominently featured on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation than on AEW Dynamite or Rampage.

While having received opportunities against the likes of Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho, Kiss went long stretches without appearing on AEW programming.

Ahead of AEW All Out, Tony Khan confirmed that Sonny Kiss’ AEW deal had expired and was not renewed following her profile being removed from the company website.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Kiss was asked to describe how she is feeling following her AEW departure. He answered:

“Definitely a question that a lot of people asked, like, ‘Where is Sonny? Where is Sonny?’ I understand. It hurt to go places and they was always the question they was asked.”

“Like I would be in a super market or at training, whatever, and it’s just like, ‘We don’t see you.’ But I’m feeling, it’s like a heartbreak.”

“It’s been a life is rough because this was everything I’ve always wanted to do, it’s a dream. I’ve worked so very hard, I worked tirelessly for this not to happen.”

“Dustin Rhodes, who’s been my mentor and trainer, he’s a trainer for all the women at AEW, and every single time I got sent to TV, I was there hours, hours before doors open, I worked my ass off every single week to make sure this didn’t happen. So yeah it’s heartbreaking,“

When asked to describe when she found out about her contract not being renewed by All Elite Wrestling, Sonny replied:

“I got the call the last week of August. Honestly, it took a long time for it to settle in. It took a long time because I just was in shock. I wasn’t expecting it.”

“Obviously, for the longest time, throughout the past couple years of there not being any creative for me, I’ve thought about it. I thought about everything, like why? What am I doing wrong?”

“I would beg sometimes to go to TV. Can I just go to train with Dustin [Rhodes], please? Just something. Because I wanted to work.”

“I never was resting on my laurels, I never was just okay with not doing anything, I never was okay with that. So yeah, when I got the call, I was very shocked,” 

As previously reported, Kiss previously issued a public statement addressing her departure from AEW.

WrestleTalk wishes Sonny Kiss the best of luck with the future of her career.
