Former NXT wrestler Stevie Turner speaks on WWE release

Former WWE NXT wrestler and on-screen authority figure Stevie Turner has issued a new statement speaking on her WWE release from last week.

Turner, real name Lucy Bridge, posted a written statement to her social media profiles on Tuesday speaking to the variety of roles she played in WWE, the history she made, and what she is looking forward to next.

She writes:

I Wanted To Give It A Few Days To Process My Feelings And Deliver A Genuine Message;

I’m Overwhelmed With Love And I Am So So Bloody Proud Of All I Did As Stevie Turner. From Working In NXT UK In My Home Of London, To Leaving It All And Flying Across The World & Achieving A
Life Goal By Moving To NXT Orlando.

I Was 4D, A Streamer, Made History In The First Ever TNA/NXT Match And Became The Prime Minister Of Evolve. I Loved Every Second Of Everything I Did, And Despite Not Having The Simplest Journey, I’m Proud I Always Gave 100% To Everything Presented To Me. I Have No Regrets, No Loss Of Love – Just A Heart Full Of Gratitude And Wonder For The Future.

I’m Excited To Keep Working On Feature Film “Welcome To Paradise” With Crucible Films And Show What I Can Offer The World Of Voice Acting/ Acting. And Of Course, I’m Excited To Lace My Wrestling Boots Again.

My One Hope Is That In All I’ve Done, That I Would Have Made My Late Tag Partner Hana Kimura Proud, Because Without Her, I Would Have Never Had The Confidence To Push Further For My Dreams.
See You All Soon!

Turner was one of several NXT talents to be released last Friday including Wes Lee, and Lance Anoa’i. Other releases or non-renewals came from the WWE ID program, notably Kylie Rae and Zayda Steel.
