Former NXT Superstar Yulisa Leon was one of over twenty names released from WWE last week.
Leon took to Twitter today to announce that she actually requested to be released from her WWE contract.
You can read her official statement below:
“To my dear fans and general public.
No price is too high to fight for what you are and what you want: To be the woman of your dreams.
I thank the WWE & NXT Universe for honoring me with the opportunity to be the first Mexican woman under contract (as a wrestler).
I learned what I never imagined, I enjoyed like never before & I will stay with the great experiences and incredible friendships but for personal reasons, I took the decision to ask to be released from my contract.
I will let you know the reasons at a later time & I am deeply grateful for the facilities and for leaving the doors open for me.
I am still focused on my next projects, expect to hear from me very soon.”
