Kay Lee Ray Provides More Details About Her WWE Departure, Says WWE Didn’t Want to Offer Her Anything

Kay Lee Ray provides more details about her WWE departure.

In April, it was reported that Kay Lee Ray (known as Alba Fyre in WWE) had departed the company. This was due to her contract expiring with the company, as recently revealed by her.

Speaking on Busted Open, Ray shared more details regarding her exit.

“I think in the last one I did, maybe the words were a little bit misconstrued. I had been thinking for a while if I wanted to re-sign or not. But as I said before, I’ve been with WWE for a long time. So I at least wanted to give them the courtesy of having that conversation. I knew my contract was up in three weeks by the time I spoke to them, maybe four weeks. It was at Mania, so I was like, ‘Look, I know we’re really, really busy right now. I’m not asking to have that conversation now, but can we have that possibly soon?’ Then unfortunately, I got the phone call the next week saying that they didn’t want to be offering me anything. On that, I was like, ‘Cool, this was the decision I was already heading towards anyway. If that’s the way we want to go, that’s fine.’ So, yeah, it wasn’t a surprise to me. Again, it’s kind of like a pattern recognition. You know, that time of year, after Mania, there’s going to be releases, there’s going to be firings. My contract was just up and it fell at that unlucky time. I don’t even want to say unlucky because, as I said, I was already thinking like I want to get back to wrestling. I want to get back to putting it all out there. So if I wasn’t going to get there, then where are we going to do it?”
