From what seemed like a historic moment in sports entertainment, the merger between the UFC and WWE is becoming a nightmare. After 100 employees were laid off within a day, 19 top talent were also released by the company on September 21, 2023. These included names like Dolph Ziggler, Elias, Emma, Mustafa Ali, etc. Despite the abrupt release, one 34-year-old star took to social media to post a positive message for the fans.

While some fans are still trying to understand what is happening at the WWE, many claim Triple H to be behind the sudden changes. Meanwhile, some of the released stars are positive about their uncertain future ventures. 

Emma shares a positive response after being released by WWE

Among those who were released was Tenille Dashwood, a.k.a Emma. For her, being part of the WWE was a childhood dream after meeting Trish Stratus at the age of 13 in 2002. She signed on in 2011 and made her NXT debut a year later. On the January 13, 2014, episode of RAW, she made her main roster debut. However, she would be released by the company in 2017.

Yes, Emma was released by the company twice. After five long years, she returned on the October 18, 2022 episode of SmackDown. During the 2023 Draft, she was sent to RAW, but in just four months, she would be released by the company for the last time. This time’s release came as a shock to the fans.

A day after announcing her release from the company, she posted a message on X where she went into more details. She began by thanking all her fans and supporters, who sent her words of encouragement after her release. “While I wasn’t expecting a call yesterday, it’s also fair to say that I wasn’t shocked,” she wrote.

She said she expected to do better during her second company run. However, in time, it became clear to her that it wasn’t going to go the way she had expected. But despite everything, she wrote, “I feel very fortunate today.”

Since her debut and until her release, she has gained many fans, both native and global. These fans were even more heartbroken as the news about her release came after a post from the star that showed how excited she was for her future in the WWE.

Emma was excited about Elimination Chamber 2024 an hour before her release

As Elimination Chamber 2024 is being held in her native country of Australia, she posted about her excitement. Unfortunately, within an hour, she posted, “Oops nevermind. I just got released.” Although she was unhappy about not fulfilling her dream of wrestling on a WWE stage in her native homeland, she is still grateful to the WWE.

Emma mentioned how she met her future husband in the WWE. Emma had been dating Riddick Moss since 2022. In June of 2023, the couple got engaged. She also looked at the positive side of her release from the company, which now allows her more time with her friends and family.

For the moment, there is no official word on what Emma’s next move will be. Rumors have been circulated about her joining AEW since her release. But, for now, she could be taking a break from it all.
