Sirena Linton Opens Up About WWE Release, Teases AEW and TNA Future

Sirena Linton has broken her silence on her WWE release in a candid YouTube video, describing the experience as heartbreaking while hinting that her in-ring career is far from over.

Linton recalled the moment the mood shifted among talent at the WWE Performance Center, explaining that an unexpected day off was enough to set alarm bells ringing. “Everybody started freaking out because we all know what that means,” she said. When the call eventually came — a Connecticut number flashing on her phone — her immediate reaction was simple disbelief. “I just looked at it and I was like, ‘What the f***?'”

What stung most, she said, was not any doubt about her own ability but the emotional investment she had made. “I poured my heart into this company and these people that I feel like just dropped me on a dime,” Linton said. “This place started to really become my home and then all of a sudden I can’t go home anymore.” She added that WWE provided no explanation for the decision, and that coaches she spoke with afterward were equally in the dark.

Despite the pain, Linton remained measured about the business realities that may have driven the move, acknowledging it could have been a budget decision made by someone who had never met her. “I don’t know the answers and I wish I did,” she said, “because I think it would make me feel a little bit better.”

Since becoming a free agent, Linton has wasted little time making noise. She released a striking vignette in which she walked into the woods with a trash bag of old gear, doused it in gasoline, set it on fire, and closed with a declaration: “I’m still spicy, bi***.” The clip immediately generated buzz about her next destination.

When pressed on whether AEW or TNA could be in her future, she offered a pointed non-answer: “You’ll just have to tune in.” She was equally coy about a potential WWE return, saying only that “we’re just going to have to see what the future holds.”

With her free-agent status confirmed and bookings now open, the wrestling world is watching closely to see where Linton lands next.
