Damian Priest, Charlotte Flair, and several other superstars react to 29-year-old's message following surprise WWE release

WWE has made a number of cuts over the past few weeks, mostly to their corporate employee. However, one name many fans were surprised to see be let go was McKenzie Mitchell.

The former backstage interviewer announced earlier this week that she had been released from her contract which led to an outpour of messages from all of the stars that had worked with her.

Mitchell recently shared her own defiant message on Instagram stating that she'll "bet on herself"

Mitchell appears to be referencing her release and several stars have since responded and reacted to her comments.

The likes of Jade Cargill, Damian Priest, Charlotte Flair, Carmelo Hayes, Santos Escobar, Chelsea Green, Indi Hartwell, and Trick Williams have all liked the post, making it clear that she still has the support even though she is no longer a WWE employee.

Mitchell met her husband Vic Joseph whilst working for WWE and he was one of the stars who also reacted to the update and will now support his wife as she takes the next step in her career.
