Other former WWE stars at PROGRESS
Kay Lee Ray/Alba Fyre has also been confirmed for the upcoming PROGRESS Wrestling Odyssey Tour, joining new company owners Nikki Storm and Big Damo/Killian Dain.
Kay Lee Ray’s contract with WWE lapsed earlier this year, and she confirmed in an interview that she was not released, but chose to leave herself. Therefore, she did not need to adhere to the 90-day no compete that released WWE main roster names generally have to:
“My contract was up. And I knew it was coming up and I had the decision of whether I wanted to stay or not. I know some other people got fired and they have the 90 days clause, but because mines was just contract ending, that means I didn’t have the 90 days and I was able to come and do this [Eve show]. And do it as like kind of a surprise but it wasn’t really a surprise. But, yeah, really glad that it worked out this way.”
PROGRESS will be heading to Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Bournemouth and Birmingham for the Odyssey tour. Talent announcements are ongoing with the aforementioned Kay Lee Ray and former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Nikki Storm confirmed.
