During a recent interview with Alicia Atout, former WWE NXT wrestler Jessi Kamea revealed that she still plans to return to wrestling.
Speaking to Atout, Kamea had this to say:
“That’s definitely something I know a lot of people on [social media have been asking]. Fans have been asking ‘When are you gonna wrestle again?’. I did put a little something on my [Instagram] story like ‘No, I’m not done.’ I’m excited to check out the independent scene. As somebody who really didn’t know that much about wrestling, [WWE] was my only exposure to wrestling and having other colleagues come in and tell me about their experiences with it … it’s just like this whole new world to me.
“I’m really excited about my first match, I kind of don’t want it to be against anybody I know. That seems like such an interesting experience to me. I had the luxury of training with the same people all the time. For me not knowing it was [a luxury] at the time, to be able to do everything that WWE calls for, [you have to be] a high calibre talent. I have a lot of respect for the women there. But I’m also excited to meet other women and meet other competitors on the independent scene. No idea where that’s gonna take place at first, but once it happens I will happily announce that. I still feel like it’s something I want to explore.”
Jessi Kamea had her first match in WWE back in October of 2017, then going by Jessie Elaban. In the latter months of her time in WWE, Kamea was a member of the Robert Stone Brand. She would remain with the company until November 4, 2021, when she was released by the company.
Since her release, Jessi Kamea has returned to her “Jessi Elaban” name.
