Mickie James Is Shocked To See The Talents WWE Released
WWE fans, critics, wrestlers and legends all talked about these shocking releases. Chelsea Green was one of the most happening wrestlers in WWE, releasing her was such a controversial decision.
Samoa Joe was also a huge name in professional wrestling. WWE totally failed to utilize him. At first he was going pretty well as a wrestler. Then suddenly WWE demoted Joe to a commentator which was quite surprising, to be honest.
Former 5 times WWE Women’s Champion recently appeared onRenee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast where she expressed hard feeling on all the released stars of WWE recently. She said;
“I was pretty shocked about Billie Kay. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s kind of weird.’ I just didn’t see that one coming. I think they’re both gonna thrive. They’re going to do amazing, and Chelsea’s already. She’s so funny. She’s great. It was really impactful people that were let go in this round and no disrespect to other situations that have happened like this before,” Paquette added. “But to see you be released, and Samoa Joe The IIconics, it just seemed a little mind-boggling. ‘Wait, what?’ How is there not space for these people? How is there not creative for these people? I don’t understand.
“I think it’s because I’ve been there before and I was in a much different space then, and that was really in the space when I thought, ‘Oh, I’m just gonna take a picture of it because it’s funny’ because myself and Chelsea’s, or Billie Kay’s case or Peyton’s shoes, I would never post that picture then because you’re always thinking, ‘Oh well, there’s a chance for me to come back, and there’s all this other stuff.’
“You don’t want to ruffle any feathers. You don’t also want to make it seem negative because we are so grateful for what we do and the opportunities and the platforms. It’s just more about like, ‘Oh, you kind of feel that going out the door. Okay, here’s your s**t kind of way.’”
With some of the most important women wrestlers released, it would be quite interesting to see how WWE manage the women’s division without these wrestlers. WWE NXT women’s roster is quite thick right now, we are hoping to see WWE bring some of the fresh talents to main roster very soon.
