NXT, Mae Young Classic Developmental Talent, Zeda Released

According to a report from Squared Circle Sirens, an NXT Developmental Talent has been released.

Zeda was a competitor in the Mae Young Classic in 2017, where she was eliminated in the first round by Shayna Baszler. She also competed in a few matches in NXT before being released this past weekend.

Below is a clip of her appearance in the Mae Young Classic:

Her profile from WWE.com sheds a bit of light on her background:

With a background in MMA, amateur wrestling and sports-entertainment — not to mention, singing, acting and modeling — Zeda enters the Mae Young Classic with one of the most unique skillsets.

She might be a relatively unknown entity in WWE, having only joined the Performance Center earlier this year, but Zeda is the real deal: Prior to arriving in Orlando, she received wrestling training under the likes of The Brian Kendrick and fighting tutelage at the Black House MMA, the same facility where UFC legend Anderson Silva spars. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University’s communications program, where she concentrated on public relations, Zeda has only one message to deliver to her peers in the Classic: Watch out.

She posted the following Tweet on her official Twitter account, seeming to confirm the news that she had been released:
