Sarray issues statement on WWE departure

Sarray is thankful for the time she spent in WWE.

At a press conference on Monday, Sarray formally announced her departure from WWE. Tokyo Sports reported last week that Sarray would be leaving WWE when her contract expired. She’ll be resuming her career as a freelancer in Japan.

Sarray also posted a tweet on Monday thanking WWE. Sarray wrote that, no matter what people might say, she did her best and is so glad she got the chance to go to WWE.

“No matter what some people might say, I did my best. I am so glad that I had the chance to go to WWE,” Sarray wrote. “Thank you WWE. Thank you Sarray. Thank you WWE Universe.”

Again using “Sareee” as the spelling of her name, Sarray will return to the ring at a show in Tokyo on Tuesday, May 16. Sareee-Ism: Chapter One is the name of the event.

Sarray last wrestled when she lost to Mandy Rose on NXT last August.

Sarray made her NXT debut in April 2021. She was originally supposed to start with NXT in 2020, but her arrival was delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
