LFG Star Carlee Bright Confirms WWE Departure

Posted by admin on April 27th, 2026

This past Friday was another dark day in the industry, as multiple main roster and “WWE NXT” stars were released from the Stamford-based company. Carlee Bright, a former “NXT” and “WWE EVOLVE” wrestler, was one of those several talents released this past weekend, although her name wasn’t made public at first.

Proving this setback won’t stop her from shining in this business elsewhere, Bright wrote an uplifting post on her departure through Instagram. “This wasn’t how I imagined this chapter ending, but if there’s one thing this journey taught me, it’s how to fight through uncertainty and the moments that test who you really are. I don’t know if there’ll ever be enough words to express the gratitude and love I have for this chapter. From all the hours filming, hair spray & makeup, long drives, and intense training days, I really did feel like my very own Hannah Montana — living the best of both worlds. I cherish the laughs, the memories, and the people who made this experience better than I could have ever imagined. You’ve changed my life, and that’s something I’ll carry with me forever… If there’s one thing I know about myself, it’s this: mom & dad didn’t raise a quitter. This chapter may be closing, but my story is far from finished.”

Signing with WWE in 2022, Bright (real name Kennedy Cummins) would appear for the first time on “NXT” television two years later, along with Kendal Grey, but was soon sent to “EVOLVE,” where she became a regular standout up until her departure. Despite her release, Bright is one of several up and coming prospects showcased on the third season of “WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats),” which premiered this past Sunday on A&E.

It was reported earlier on Monday that more “NXT” departures would likely become public soon.

Every WWE Star Who Was Just Released

Posted by admin on April 27th, 2026

Initially bursting onto the WWE scene as Kay Lee Ray, Alba Fyre departs the company with storied runs in “WWE NXT UK” and “NXT” as well as what was an ongoing one alongside Chelsea Green on WWE’s main roster.

Fyre, a native of Scotland, partook in WWE’s inaugural Mae Young Classic in 2017, though a loss to Princesa Sugehit took her out of the tournament in the first round. Still, she returned for an international six-woman tag bout along the road to the MYC finals.

Fyre’s Mae Young Classic outings marked her only WWE-related appearances for two years until a deal landed her a spot on the “NXT UK” brand in 2019. It was here that Fyre arguably found her greatest WWE success as a victory over Toni Storm laid the groundwork for her 649-day reign as NXT UK Women’s Champion. During it, Fyre (as Kay Lee Ray) conquered the brand’s hottest stars, including Meiko Satomura, Jinny, Storm, and her future tag team partner Piper Niven. Satomura later unseated Fyre in a rematch.

With “NXT UK” in her rearview mirror at that point, Fyre moved stateside to the “NXT” brand, where an alliance with IYO SKY resulted in them winning the 2022 Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. In the months following, Fyre set out to capture the NXT Women’s Championship on multiple occasions, but fell short. She and Isla Dawn, known as Unholy Union, did triumph in their pursuit of the NXT Women’s Tag Team, and later, WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, however.

Five months after Unholy Union lost the Women’s Tag Team Championships, WWE released Dawn, which briefly left Fyre alone on the main roster. Fyre found new allies in the form of Chelsea Green and Piper Niven, the former of whom she helped retain the Women’s United States Championship in March 2025. Together, Fyre and Niven formed the loyal Secret Hervice, with Fyre respectively being called “Slaygent A.”

Even through Niven’s injury-related absence and Green’s recent ankle injury, Fyre continued to lend her her-vices, both in-ring and backstage, while wearing a formal suit. How WWE will approach Green’s patriotic storyline now following Fyre’s release has yet to be seen.

Ronda Rousey Addresses Future As MMA Promoter, Being UFC President’s ‘Apprentice’

Ronda Rousey said that her tutelage under UFC President Dana White may help her enter MMA promoting on a more long-term basis.

Rousey will be returning to MMA on May 16 as she fights Gina Carano, herself making a return to the sport after 17 years. It will be the first time Rousey has fought since a first-round, first-minute loss to Amanda Nunes in 2016, which it was itself Rousey’s return after suffering her first defeat to Holly Holm via knockout.

Ahead of her return with MVP and Netflix in May, Rousey has taken the lead when it comes to the idea of selling the card and her fight; Carano said that she had also taken the lead when it came to negotiating and setting up the fight, with it first being eyed for the UFC.

With that in mind, Rousey was asked by “Geek Vibes Nation” whether she could envision herself taking the role of promoter in the future.

“I mean, I think this is really my audition to see if [Netflix/MVP] would like me to be in that role,” Rousey said. “I think that, honestly, nobody’s more capable than I am and that I would do an incredible job. I’ve basically been Dana’s apprentice this whole time, and I’ve followed him around and see how he does it.”

She continued to say that MVP co-owners Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian had been incredible partners. And she said if they think there is a role for her with them, she would “love to inhabit it.”

“But we’ll see how this goes, and we’ll see if we can work something out,” she concluded.

Jacob Fatu Reflects on His Journey from Jail to WrestleMania and Dreams of Matching Up with New Jack

Posted by admin on April 27th, 2026

Jacob Fatu shared his inspiring journey to WrestleMania 42 in an interview with GiveMeSport, detailing his past and recent WWE experiences. He kicked off Night 1 of WrestleMania against Drew McIntyre, a highlight in his career.

Fatu contrasted his upbringing with his current WWE status, recalling his time in county jail at 18 and how far he’s come. He expressed disbelief at performing at such a prestigious event: “Man, you know what? Besides me and Drew tapping in, that is, that is one of the only greatest positive things about going into this weekend. You to tell me, dog, I went from County Jail being 18, locked up, not trying to understand anything, to be in the opening night, first night on Wrestlemania on the first hour of ESPN? Man, dog, it’s mind-blowing. So, you know, with that doubling back and tapping in, oh, baby, man, this is full throttle right now.”

Fatu also discussed a dream match with wrestling legend New Jack, whom he cites as an influence. He reminisced about childhood wrestling games inspired by New Jack: “I would have let him win. I just would have let him win. I would have said, ‘f*ck it, put the fork away, dude.’ I would have seen him playing the guitar. ‘Put the guitar away.’ I would have seen him vacuuming. ‘Put the vacuum away.’ Now, overall, though, that’s crazy you brought that up. New Jack was one of my favorite all time, man. Like, man, we used to put ketchup on our head and walk into the living room with our old school toy bucket, yo, ECW, and my mom used to whip our a** because we used all that ketchup, fake bleeding. But, nah, man, that’s a dope match, and, man, it would have been so dope if that was able to happen.”

Following WrestleMania 42, Fatu’s career in WWE continues to evolve. He defeated McIntyre and challenged Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship on the RAW after ‘Mania, with Reigns expected to respond tonight.
