A current WWE star has announced their departure from the company after opting not to sign a new contract.
Ava has served as the NXT General Manager for almost two years after she initially left the Schism faction.
However, it seems as though her time as the General Manager has come to an end, with her today announcing on Instagram that her last appearance on NXT this week was her last under contract with WWE.
She wrote:
“This past Tuesday was my last appearance on NXT & subsequently WWE. Thank you to all who have cheered, watched, and supported me through my journey.
“While my decision to not renew my contract was very difficult, it’s also new turning point in my life. It has been an honor & a privilege to be Ava.”
The new NXT Champion is set to be crowned on next week’s episode of NXT television in a seven-man Ladder match for the vacant title.
