She was informed tonight that the company would not be renewing her current contract. When it expires later this month, Deville would be free and clear to perform anywhere as there would not be a 90 day no compete involved.

    Well I guess it’s been 11 mins since a mass release!

    Cedric: Yeah I get it, but he’ll be fine anywhere really.

    Blair: Well Bea Priestly is back I guess lol. We’ll see where she goes, WWE never gave a shit about her.

    Sonia: I could have seen yet lasting a while longer but its clear they don’t have much to do for her. Least its just her contract running out, 10y aint a bad run.

    AoP/Ellering: None of these people should have been brought back. No hate to Ellering but he has no place without AoP and AoP should have been left on the sidelines after they pulled that scam booking people and not paying em for a show they were running (or whatever the deets were).

    100% shocked they didn’t wait to release Sonya during pride month given the way corps are jumping over themselves to bend over backwards for anti gay politics

      I’m honestly curious to see what happens for Pride month this year. I’m pretty sure WWE will be sitting it out. Or maybe bringing in a gay wrestler to sing “Do you really want to hurt me” to The Undertaker again, since everyone is reverting to their worst, most hateful impulses now.

        My opinion, they sit it out, along with most other companies that appear to have bent over backwards to appease the new regime’s anti-DEI efforts as they rush to protect their dollars over treating people with respect and dignity.

        Not to be too political, but I’m not sure what kind of Country this will be by the time we get to Summer Pride month, let alone when we get to Black Pride in September or Atlanta Pride in the middle of October. We are only on day 19… and look at the craziness.

        Mentioned it on Bluesky earlier lol. I’m wondering if a lot of companies aren’t gonna do a Pride thing this year cause of either sure unadulterated hatred, or not wanting to paint a target on their back for the dregs.
