“Above everything, thank you all. I am so overwhelmed at all the love and support. The DMs, txts, tweets.. you all have my heart. I love you. I am thankful for being able to meet, work, and intertwine with so many beautiful people, people I looked up to, people I learned from.. I met some of my best friends over these last few years that will remain in my life forever. I don’t know what’s next for me. I chose ‘Evie’ at 17 years old. That chapter is shut.. just know this; I’m far from being done.”

Persia Pirotta believes it’s level-up time after WWE NXT release
Another ex WWE NXT Superstar, Persia Pirotta also took to Twitter this morning to issue a statement on her release,
“Today I woke up & chose gratitude. I am grateful for so many things. I met some of my BEST friends here, I took my grandparents name, and showcased it on a platform as big as WWE.
I surprised myself with the things I was able to achieve in a relatively short period of time. If anyone knows how to make lemonade out of lemons though, it is me. Time to level up.”
Thank you so much. Means the absolute world coming from you ??❤️
