WrestlingInc recently posted an article featuring highlights from former WWE Diva Cameron’s latest YouTube video, where she spoke about her release from WWE.
Cameron was released from WWE on May 6, 2016 alongside several other superstars including Damien Sandow, Wade Barrett (as King Barrett), Santino Marella, Zeb Colter, Alex Riley, Hornswoggle, El Torito and Alex Riley.
In the YouTube video Cameron released, she talks about being unhappy with her position in the company. She felt she wasn’t doing enough and wanted to prove herself, even if it cost her.
“For the people who don’t know, I wasn’t happy with my position in WWE. I was coming to ‘TVs’ and I just wasn’t doing anything. I know that I didn’t have the best in-ring skills, because I was brought up early. I’m really honest about that, I can keep it one-thousand percent. I wanted to go back down to NXT. I’m like ‘I know this may mean I might lose my spot. I know this may get me fired,’ but I rather walk away knowing that I did everything I possibly can, than nothing at all and I walk away with regret.”
She then explains how she found out about the call from WWE Senior Director of Talent Relations, Mark Carrano and knew her release was immanent.
“I get this ‘ding’ [on my phone] and Mark [Carrano, WWE Senior Director of Talent Relations] says ‘Can you call me?’ And I just knew, so I called him and he told me. It was shocking, but at the same time, that’s just where we were. I’d given my all and things just weren’t progress, so, it hit me, and I thanked him for my time. This is one experience I’m never ever going to forget, unfortunately, it’s not a fairy tale ending.”
Finally, she explains that she is unsure if her comments toward the internet wrestling community had anything to do with her release, or if it was solely due to a lack of progress or ideas for her character.
“To this day, I still don’t know if it’s partially because when I stirred up all the stuff with [the] IWC. That was one of my tactics, to try and get stuff stirring to potentially have a storyline and I never asked, I never asked. I didn’t want to know, because at that point what was done, was done. I never know to this day if it was that, mixed with everything that was already going on and my position with the company.”

Editor’s Note:
I didn’t mind Cameron in WWE and thought she was going to prove herself on NXT before she was fired. I don’t believe her being fired had anything to do with the internet wrestling community, because WWE hasn’t seemingly fired anyone else for doing something similar.
