More on Rachael Ellering’s Release

As noted before, Rachael Ellering reportedly was among those recently released by WWE.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that prior to her release, Ellering had been in a dispute with the company’s medical team and medical procedures, which was not received well by WWE officials. Meltzer reported that a few weeks ago, she was given two options by WWE officials with neither involving a long term stay in the company. Ellering reportedly chose one of the options and was released shortly afterwards.

Meltzer also reported that while Ellering’s release was a decision made by WWE, she had been interested in leaving due to issues with the direction of her career in company.
