AEW grants Kylie Rae her release
Kylie Rae (Brianna Rae Sparrey) requested and has been granted her release per AEW owner Tony Khan.
Speaking at a media scrum after AEW All Out Saturday, Khan was asked about her status and said Rae was no longer with the company and asked for her release. Khan said he asked if everything was ok and that she said it was, adding the split was “very amicable”.
“We talked about it and it was very simple,” he said without going into further details.
The 27-year-old made her AEW debut at Double or Nothing in a four-way with Britt Baker, Nyla Rose, and Awesome Kong. Advertising for Fyter Fest had her facing Leva Bates, but she was replaced by Allie instead.
She has been relatively quiet on social media this summer, last sharing an AEW on TNT video in Instagram in late-July, and deleted her Twitter account in August.
In recent Wrestling Observer Newsletters, Dave Meltzer has reported Rae is on a medical leave and that her status was “a subject nobody has talked about.”
