Bea Priestley has finally reflected on her sudden release from WWE. Priestly has been in the industry since 2012, claiming that the creative team led by Triple H went back on their promise.
Big claims from Bea Priestley
The English-New Zealander pro wrestler was one of the wrestlers who were let go by the company in February earlier this year. The former NXT UK talent had a decent main roster run on SmackDown, but things didn't work out the way she planned.
During a conversation with the Rulebreakers with Saraya podcast, Blair Davenport shared her opinions on being released by the company after being told she would join Chelsea Green's Secret Hervice faction.
“They released me. I’d say I was surprised, but I wasn’t because I wasn’t really used. They had plans for me, though. I was supposed to be on the Europe tour in March—I had the flights. I was supposed to be with Piper and Chelsea. I was supposed to be doing what Alba’s doing now, doing the Secret Harvest [Hervice] thing. Me and Piper were getting matching gear made. We’d had conversations about what they wanted us to wear, how they wanted us to act, everything. So it was definitely a thing that creative were planning.”
During the conversation, Bea Priestley mentioned that the creative team informed her that she would receive a big push after the Royal Rumble.
"I got released six days after the Rumble. At the Rumble, TR came to me like, ‘Hey, you’re going to be on the road every single week as of next week. Just be ready. You’re going to be used all the time because Chelsea’s always used.’ So I was like, ‘Perfect. This is great for me. I’m excited.’"
However, the plans were cancelled, and she was shown the exit door, bringing an end to her stint with the WWE.
Since then, Blair Davenport has since been working in Japan. Her free agent status has also allowed her to launch her third-party venture.
