Kiyah Saint Looks Back On Her WWE Release, Not Knowing Why It Happened

Former WWE star Kiyah Saint recently spoke on her YouTube channel on a number of topics including her WWE release and not knowing why it happened.

Saint said, โ€œThe biggest question people want to know is why I left WWE. Some people choose to leave, but I didnโ€™t choose to leave. I got told to leave. I got released. Some people ask me, โ€˜Why did I get released?โ€™ I really couldnโ€™t tell you. I thought I was checking all the boxes, I thought I was doing the right thing, which I was. I didnโ€™t cause any trouble. I didnโ€™t cause any drama. But I guess they just didnโ€™t see a need for Kiyah Saint at the PC, which is unfortunate for them. Their loss, not mine.โ€

On finding out she had been let go:

โ€œThe day I got released, May 3, I got a call from Stanford, Connecticut. When you get released, itโ€™s a phone call. Itโ€™s not any of the people you work with, it wasnโ€™t my boss, not the people I see on a normal basis. Some random woman called me, and she was like, โ€˜Hi, is this Kiyah Saint?โ€™ I said, โ€˜This is Kiyah.โ€™ She tells me Iโ€™m getting released, my contractโ€™s being terminated, do you have any questions? Iโ€™m like, โ€˜Yeah, I want to know why Iโ€™m being released.โ€™ She said, I donโ€™t know about verbatim, this part, but she said, โ€˜Creative didnโ€™t have any needs for you โ€˜at the moment.โ€™ Honey, what does โ€˜at the momentโ€™ mean? At the moment means that somethingโ€™s gonna come in the future. So I wish I could give a review and be like, if youโ€™re gonna fire people, donโ€™t say โ€˜at the momentโ€™ because that means something else might be coming for them in the future. Just say creative didnโ€™t have anything for you, point-blank, and thatโ€™s fine.โ€

On not knowing that it was coming as soon as it did:

โ€œThings just started getting really weird. They werenโ€™t using me as much. I feel like I was just put on the back burner again, which sucks, but luckily my faith is super high. I dove really deep into my faith, trying to get back closer to God. The transition, it wasnโ€™t as hard for me as Iโ€™m sure it was for other people. I just know, in whatever I do in life, everythingโ€™s temporary, so you gotta make the best out of certain moments, and I feel like I made the best out of the 18 months that I was in WWE. Sure, I wish I got more opportunities. It is what it is.โ€
