Ava announces WWE departure
Ava has left WWE.
The former NXT General Manager released a statement on Friday revealing that last Tuesday’s episode of NXT was her last with the company, saying that she decided not to renew her contract.
Ava’s statement reads:
“This past Tuesday was my last appearance on NXT & subsequently WWE. Thank you to all who have cheered, watched, and supported me through my journey. While my decision to not renew my contract was very difficult, it’s also new turning point in my life. It has been an honor & a privilege to be Ava.”
The 24-year-old daughter of The Rock signed with WWE and reported to the Performance Center in Orlando in early 2020. She joined Joe Gacy’s Schism faction as Ava Raine in 2022 and made her in-ring debut the following year. Ava only wrestled on WWE programming three times, with her only singles match being a loss to Ivy Nile at Heatwave 2023.
She transitioned to an on-screen authority role in late 2023, first as Shawn Michaels’ assistant, and then later being promoted to General Manager in 2024.
