Zoey Stark Reflects on WWE Release and Future Aspirations

Following WWE WrestleMania 42, several talents, including Zoey Stark, were released from the company, marking the end of her five-year career with WWE.

Stark expressed her shock and emotional response to the news, revealing that she broke down in tears upon receiving the call. After a lengthy rehabilitation process, which included two potential surgeries, she found herself struggling to redefine her identity outside of wrestling.

Having debuted in 2013 under the name Lacey Ryan, Stark had a diverse wrestling career before joining WWE in early 2021. Now, as she navigates life as a free agent, she aims to explore her identity beyond the ring while continuing to improve her wrestling skills. Stark noted that she had a premonition about her release, despite her recent medical clearance to return to action.
