Ruby Riott is one of the six superstars released by WWE and that list also includes Braun Strowman, Aleister Black and few other stars. It was a big shocker for the WWE Universe and other wrestlers too.
Following her WWE release, Ruby Riott broke the silence and issued a statement through her Instagram account. Ruby Riott stated that she was panicked and sad by hearing the news of her release. She was also looked back at how lucky to accomplish her dreams and be a part of Squad of incredible women. She thanked everyone for their support.
“Well… here it goes. I’ve never been good at this sort of stuff. Yesterday in a matter of minutes, my life changed very drastically. But after some tears, some panic and a full box of Oreos, I was able look back at how lucky I’ve been to accomplish what have. I never thought I’d make it to WWE. I’ve been honored to be apart of a Squad of the most incredible women I’ve ever met, I’ve gotten to see the world, share locker rooms with some of the most talented women I know, some of which I’ve made lifelong friendships with. I’ve gotten to meet fans that were just like me, introverted kids, who never quite felt like they fit in. And between the locker room and those fans, I felt like I belonged and I’m so grateful for that feeling. With that, I am overwhelmed by the amount of calls/texts/tweets and support that I have received from former coworkers, friends, family and fans. Thank you so much for the kind words. You’ll never know how much it helped. As for what’s next….in the beginning “Heidi Lovelace” was given to me, at the end “Ruby Riott” was taken away. So I don’t know what I’ll be called or where I’ll end up. But please know this is far from over. Thank you,” said Ruby Riott via her Instagram post.
Ruby Riott signed with WWE in 2016 and became the integral part of women’s division, from NXT to the main roster. She is well known by the leader of Riott Squad consists of herself, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan.
