Kylie Rae announced on Thursday evening that her time in the WWE ID program is ending.

“Today I share that my time with WWEID is coming to an end, as I was informed my contract will not be renewed,” Rae wrote on social media. “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities, memories, and people I met along the way.”

Rae’s announcement comes on the same day that Zayda Steel, another member of the initial WWE ID class, announced she had chosen not to renew her own contract.

Rae was the inaugural and only WWE Women’s ID Champion. She won the title by defeating Zayda Steel and Zara Zakher in a triple-threat match earlier this year. She later vacated the championship after announcing her pregnancy.

A veteran of promotions including AEW, Impact Wrestling, and the NWA, Rae was a regular on WWE’s Evolve brand before her pregnancy leave. During her time in Evolve, she had a notable feud with Wendy Choo.

Rae noted she is ready for her “next chapter” after the birth of her second child.
