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, โThe biggest question people want to know is why I left WWE. Some people choose to leave, but I didnโt choose to leave. I got told to leave. I got released. Some people ask me, โWhy did I get released?โ I really couldnโt tell you. I thought I was checking all the boxes, I thought I was doing the right thing, which I was. I didnโt cause any trouble. I didnโt cause any drama. But I guess they just didnโt 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:
โThe day I got released, May 3, I got a call from Stanford, Connecticut. When you get released, itโs a phone call. Itโs not any of the people you work with, it wasnโt my boss, not the people I see on a normal basis. Some random woman called me, and she was like, โHi, is this Kiyah Saint?โ I said, โThis is Kiyah.โ She tells me Iโm getting released, my contractโs being terminated, do you have any questions? Iโm like, โYeah, I want to know why Iโm being released.โ She said, I donโt know about verbatim, this part, but she said, โCreative didnโt have any needs for you โat the moment.โ Honey, what does โat the momentโ mean? At the moment means that somethingโs gonna come in the future. So I wish I could give a review and be like, if youโre gonna fire people, donโt say โat the momentโ because that means something else might be coming for them in the future. Just say creative didnโt have anything for you, point-blank, and thatโs fine.โ
On not knowing that it was coming as soon as it did:
โThings just started getting really weird. They werenโt 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 wasnโt as hard for me as Iโm sure it was for other people. I just know, in whatever I do in life, everythingโs 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
