Taking to social media, Leon commented on her release and revealed she asked to be released.

To my dear fans and general public.

No price is too high to fight for what you are and what you want: To be the woman of your dreams.
I thank the WWE & NXT Universe for honoring me with the opportunity to be the first Mexican woman under contract (as a wrestler).

I learned what I never imagined, I enjoyed like never before & I will stay with the great experiences and incredible friendships but for personal reasons, I took the decision to ask to be released from my contract.

I will let you know the reasons at a later time & I am deeply grateful for the facilities and for leaving the doors open for me.

I am still focused on my next projects, expect to hear from me very soon.

Leon was part of WWE tryouts in 2019 and was announced as signing with the promotion in February 2021. She made her TV debut on the October 22, 2021 episode of 205 Live.

She made her main roster debut on the May 19, 2023 episode of WWE SmackDown, teaming with Valentina Feroz in a loss to Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn. The match was a one-off as she returned to NXT.
