A recently released WWE star is excited to get back inside the square circle following her departure. The 28-year-old star was let go by the company on October 10 despite having a prominent role. Stevie Turner signed with the biggest wrestling company in the world in March 2021, initially working at NXT UK. She would move to the main NXT brand two years later. An injury kept her from being a top star in developmental in 2023 before she finally convinced Ava to allow her to represent the brand at TNA Wrestling. Back in March, Turner received a more prominent role after being named general manager of Evolve. However, her tenure ended on October 10 after announcing that she had been released. In a follow-up post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Stevie Turner expressed her excitement to finally get back in the ring. Turner's last televised match was on the June 4 episode of NXT, losing to then-TNA star Jordynne Grace. "Can’t believe I’m gonna get to wrestle again," Turner tweeted. While WWE is the biggest pro wrestling company in the world, it's no longer the only option for many.
