NXT’s Masyn Holiday confirms WWE exit
WWE’s Masyn Holiday, aka Darci Khan, has confirmed her WWE departure.
In a recently uploaded social media video, Holiday opened up about her WWE exit and shared details behind quitting the promotion.
In the video, Holiday noted that she quit the promotion after being depressed and unhappy for a long time.
“I have left the WWE. I was very, very, very unhappy at that job. My depression and anxiety at an all-time high. Lost myself, I would look at myself in the mirror and not even know who I was anymore; it was that bad. I cried for months straight, and what kept me there was me telling myself, ‘you don’t know what you’re gonna do next, what if you leave the job and you’re still depressed and you’re still miserable,'” she said.
“Those things kept me where I wasn’t supposed to be for way too long, and literally the day that I left, it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. I’m not saying the WWE is bad, not bashing nobody at WWE, love the people there, but it’s just for me and my purpose on this Earth, it just wasn’t aligning at all. The things I desire in life and the places the WWE would take me was just, they weren’t aligned.
“I had been thinking about quitting for a very long time, but like I said, I felt like I had to have it all figured out first. The day I quit, I did not plan to quit at all; it was all God. Before I walked in the building, I prayed to God. I wrote in my journal at 1:20 pm, I said, ‘God, I need you to guide me through this practice,’ because I was on the verge of tears the whole day. I knew I didn’t have the strength to make it through practice by myself because I did not want to be there, I did not want to wrestle anymore. It was a terrible weight I couldn’t hold myself. I walk into practice, my coach comes up to me, she goes ‘what’s wrong,’ and it all just came out, and she goes ‘do you want to talk about it?’ I knew when I was gonna quit I was gonna talk to my coach, so I was like ‘you know what, I want to talk about it. I don’t want to wrestle anymore,’ and she said, ‘honestly, I can see it on your face every day,'” she further added.
Holiday also shared that she knew how good she could be in wrestling and how it could take her to places. However, despite being grateful for the opportunity, she felt it wasn’t her purpose and “calling to be the biggest WWE superstar.”
Last week, it was reported that WWE Evolve wrestler Masyn Holiday had departed WWE, and shortly after, her social media accounts were changed to her real name, Darci Khan.
Holiday’s last in-ring match dates back to the June 7th episode of WWE LFG, where she defeated PJ Vasa. She also regularly wrestled on NXT Live shows, dark matches on NXT, and Evolve.
