A female WWE legend is unhappy with the company for one major reason. On social media, she called out the Stamford-based promotion and also advocated for Kevin Thorn.

Shelly Martinez worked with the Stamford-based company as part of the ECW brand, under the ring name Ariel. She signed a developmental contract with the company in 2005 and started under OVW as "Shelly". The following year, the 45-year-old joined ECW as Ariel and was originally part of a vampire faction with Gangrel and Kevin Thorn.

Martinez and Thorn eventually debuted as a duo, with the veteran female star acting as the 48-year-old's valet. On X, Martinez recently put the company on notice for not adding her and Thorn to its alumni section. She seemed quite irate and lashed out at the decision.

"You guys are jerks for not having me and Kevin in the alumni section. I see how it is… @WWE," Martinez wrote.

Shelly Martinez accused WWE of trying to "erase" her from history

This isn't the first time Shelly Martinez has lashed out at WWE. Previously, she claimed that the company had tried 'erasing' her from history, as it seemingly took her former employers a really long time to even acknowledge her.

In an interview with Ring the Belle, Martinez disclosed that she wasn't on the organization's official alumni page.

"They've tried to erase me because it took a really long time for them to ever acknowledge me. They do it usually around October, which makes sense [due to vampire persona], but there was a long time they didn't, and I wasn't on their alumni page or anything."

Martinez retired from in-ring competition in 2017. Her final match was against Rebel at TNA One Night Only: Knockouts Knockdown 4 on March 17, 2016. Meanwhile, Kevin Thorn returned to professional wrestling in 2015 and has been active on the independent circuit.
