Ava’s WWE Exit Caught Everyone Off Guard

TLDR

Booker T stated on his Hall of Fame podcast that Ava's WWE departure caught him completely off guard, saying he heard no rumors or backstage rumblings and that "it was definitely out of the blue." According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed that Ava left WWE on her own terms and was not released, with sources saying she "just didn't want to do it anymore." Ava made her final WWE appearance on January 27's NXT episode and confirmed her exit three days later, with WWE subsequently moving her profile to the alumni section of its website.
