Xia Brookside has confirmed her WWE release, and she thanked the company for the opportunities she has received.
On August 18, WWE announced that NXT UK will be going on hiatus, and NXT Europe will be launching in 2023. Several NXT UK stars subsequently confirmed their releases, and Brookside joined the list.
In a tweet on August 19, Brookside stated that a new chapter in her life is beginning, and she's excited about it. She looked back on her journey with WWE and thanked the company.
Brookside's message is as follows:
Where it all began. 8th August 2018 I debuted for the @WWE #maeyoungclassic, 28th august 2018 I signed my first contract. This month would have been 4 years with the WWE. From the 18/19 year old girl travelling the world on her own doing tours of Japan/America/Europe, making a name for herself to the incredible journey I’ve had on the WWE NXTUK brand. It’s been a blast.
It’s not over, this is a new chapter in my life that I am very optimistic and excited about.
Thank you for everyone in @WWE that supported me and to all my fans that have stayed and grown with me.
Here’s to the next chapter! LFG!
Thank you @TripleH @WWE ---- pic.twitter.com/Gz12EbrSd9
