McKenzie Mitchell Confirms WWE Release

McKenzie Mitchell confirms she's been released from WWE

By Matthew Aguilar

Earlier today the unfortunate news hit that McKenzie Mitchell was released from WWE, which came as a shock to many. No reason for the release has since been revealed, but Mitchell announced the news on Twitter, where she talked about the great things that happened along her journey in WWE, including meeting her husband Vic Joseph. Mitchell celebrated the great times and all the friends she's made during her time in WWE, and many WWE superstars had messages of support in the comments. We wish Mitchell well on her next project, and you can find the full post below.

On Twitter, Mitchell wrote, "Today I was released by WWE. I met my husband, moved cross country from CT to FL for @wwenxt (a place I've always considered home), and met friends that became like family. I've always said and firmly believe in "when door closes, another opens." Joseph shared the tweet and added the caption, "My favorite tag team partner! All the love and support that has rolled in for you has been amazing to see and read. Love you 😍."

Johnny Gargano shared an excerpt from an interview he did with Mitchell and Austin Theory during their time in the Way, writing, "My sole intention in 99.9% of these digital exclusives was trying to get @mckenzienmitch or @CandiceLeRae to break on camera. She'll always be an unofficial member of The Way family. ❤️"

On the original post, Bayley wrote, "Damnit 💔. I had such a good time sharing a locker room with you the last few house shows. You'll be missed! Kick ass in whatever else you choose to do next." Carmelo Hayes then added "😔 you never missed! Irreplaceable." Wade Barrett wrote, "You are one hell of a talent and friend, McKenzie. ❤️".

A host of other stars and colleagues wished her well in the comments, and we here at ComicBook wish her well and can't wait to see what she does next.
