More WWE talent is announcing their departures from the company.
Hours after Lance Anoa’i stated he had left WWE, Stevie Turner, Drako Knox, and Jamr Hampton confirmed their exits.
Turner (Lucie Bridge), 28, was signed in 2021 and was part of NXT UK and transferred to NXT in January 2023 after the U.K. brand was dissolved. Her role grew into an authority figure working alongside Ava and Robert Stone and extended to Evolve, where she became the General Manager of that brand.
She posted to X:
My time with @WWE has come to an end. I’ve had a brilliant time and I’m so excited for the future see you soon!
She had not wrestled since February.
Knox was in the company for the past two years with no prior in-ring experience. He was featured on LFG under the name “Drake Starks” and worked a pair of matches on Evolve’s programming along with NXT live events.
Effective immediately, I have been released from my contract with WWE. I am thankful for every person and every day I spent in that PC. I give everything I have every single day for this business! I will be available for bookings in 30 days. Email: drakestarks.43@gmail.com
Knox worked on NXT live events last weekend in Jacksonville and Gainesville.
Hampton was also part of LFG and Evolve and was signed one year ago, with his first match occurring last November.
In the first season of LFG, he wrestled as Troy Yearwood and lost to Chris Island in the opening round.
He posted to Instagram about his release:
Today I have officially been released from the WWE. I never wished to be a pro wrestler growing up, but I’m grateful I got the opportunity to try! I’ve always been a lowkey out the way type of person, but wrestling forced me to grow and step to the center of attention. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to keep going! belief in me kept me going when I didn’t believe in myself. This is the end of my wrestling career, I’ll leave it to the professionals now! Wishing success for everyone at the PC! Love (P.S. My hip has healed & I’m off crutches now)
He had not wrestled since August.
