Released WWE Talents Fire Back At Claim They Were Let Go Due To Being Lazy

Recently released WWE stars Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade have hit back at a report suggesting that some of those that were let go as part of mass cuts on May 2 were due to perceived laziness.

On a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that one person within WWE told him talent were released because they were not working hard enough in training, saying:

"One person there who knew this whole scene said like 'no surprises' when it came to cuts…Other than Dakota, almost everyone was actually surprised on Dakota Kai. The thing is, they felt that because there's so many people and so few spots…but they said that many of those cut were perceived as not working hard in training, and if you don't work hard in training, there's so many people who do. And at this point, if the feeling is you're not working hard in training, I saw the term kind of like 'lazy', the ones who are lazy are going to be gone and the ones who didn't stand out are going to be gone".

Dolin took exception to this report, responding on X by writing:

"When I wasn't traveling to work for either of the two companies I was working for, I trained very hard 3-4 days a week, bumping my ass off and doing cardio drills with one of the best/toughest coaches I've worked with. And worked out every single day. With live events every other weekend. So yeah I don't wanna hear this lol. The way my body feels says otherwise".

Jade, who was also released on May 2, then responded to Dolin's tweet with:

"This, plus can't forget having to go to my own gym outside of work after 'strength and conditioning' that wasn't doing anything for me other than get me body shamed by my bosses, coworkers, and fans :) crazy!"

Nixon Newell (FKA Tegan Nox) - who was released by WWE last November - blasted the company over how they handle releases.
