She was a part of the faction ‘Hit Row’ which got picked by SmackDown.

However, Gran Metalik is the only name on this list who wanted a release a few weeks ago. Thus, apart from Gran Metalik, all the other superstars have been released by the company based on their own judgment.

Following their release, some stars also took to Twitter to throw light on this situation. Scarlett Bordeaux is one such superstar who confirmed her release on Twitter.

 

WWE wished the superstars in a statement to The Post. “We wish them the best in their future endeavors,” the company stated. It will be interesting to look at whether these released WWE superstars join AEW, owing to AEW’s rising popularity. That will surely be a worrying sign for Vince McMahon.
