WWE allegedly promised former Women’s Champion Jazz a job for life, before releasing her from her contract in 2004.
The ECW alum joined WWE in 2001 and after her release in 2004, returned for a brief stint in the revived ECW in 2006.
Speaking on Rene Dupree’s ‘Cafe de Rene’ podcast, Jazz said:
“It [the 2004 WWE release] came out of the blue, like had no idea. First of all, Johnny Ace [Laurinaitis] always told me, ‘Jazz, you have a job for life, you’re unbelievably talented, we’ve never had anyone like you. You have a job for life.’ So I kind of believed that, but yet still I wasn’t content and comfortable. I always kept working hard.”
Jazz also said in the interview that Stephanie McMahon liked one of her WWE storyline pitches but decided to give the idea to someone else.
