Bea Priestley is happy to be free.
On May 8, the former Blair Davenport became a free agent, as her non-compete agreement expired just three months after she was released from her WWE contract.
Much has been made of Priestley's availability, with many stating that she'd be a great addition to any women's division in wrestling.
While speaking with Tom Campbell of Cultaholic for a new interview, Priestley stated that she didn't realize how unhappy she was until the got the release call.
“As soon as I got the call, I was like, ‘Oh, I can go back to being Bea again.’ [laughs] It’s one of those things, you don’t realize how unhappy you are until you feel happy that you got the call saying that you don’t have a job anymore. That was kind of the thing, I was like, ‘Oh, okay, maybe it was good for me to be fair.’"
Priestley continued on and stated that a ton of people reached out to her after the news broke.
“The actual outreach that I got from loads of people within WWE — It is what it is, I don’t take anything personally, it’s business, but I do think a lot of people felt bad for me because I just got called up, I didn’t even have a year on SmackDown or Raw or whatever. The amount of outreach I got from actual talent within the company basically saying how sorry they were and they wish me the best and they’re sure I’ll be back or be fine, it was nice to be like, ‘Oh wow, a lot of people do actually care about me.’”
