Velvet Sky Says She Wasn’t Signed By WWE Because John Laurinaitis Told Her, ‘I Don’t Want My Divas Dating Within The Company’

Velvet Sky had a Hall of Fame career in TNA Wrestling, but never signed with WWE despite having multiple appearances as an extra.

On social media, Sky explained why she was never signed by WWE.

The reason I didn’t get signed, per right from Johnny Ace’s mouth at our meeting at headquarters when I was told prior to the meeting that I was gonna be signed, was because I was in a long term relationship with one of the talent who worked there at the time, and I was told by Ace that he “didn’t want HIS divas dating within the company.”

I chose loyalty to my long term man at the time and got passed up because I wasn’t single. 🥴
Oh well. I had a helluva career at TNA and wouldn’t have changed it for anything. ✌🏼

Johnny Ace refers to John Laurinaitis, who was the head of WWE talent relations from 2001 to 2012. He is currently named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant, who accuses Laurinaitis of participating in sex trafficking.

Velvet Sky and Angelina Love, known as the Beautiful People, were inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame class of 2025.
