Lady Leigh Reflects On Her WWE Release
Lady Leigh has reflected on her WWE release, saying she’s now evolving in Japan.
On October 10, 2025, Lady Leigh (then known as Jin Tala) was released from WWE. At that time, Leigh was working for the Evolve brand.
It’s been a year since she was released, and the wrestler took to social media to reflect on this. She wrote the following:
“This day last year, I was released from WWE. The call taken at my boyfriend’s birthday dinner … no reasons were given. It left me thinking I didn’t have what it takes. But Im a stubborn mf, & chased a gut feeling that my potential hadn’t reached a limit yet & that I would decide when I’m done. Now im in Japan, creating unforgettable memories & getting closer to the type of wrestling I love & to be loved by wrestling. I’m evolving, adapting, ever growing. Set your and watch it burn brightly & beautifully”
