Masyn Holiday Confirms WWE Departure, Cites Depression and Unhappiness as Reason for Leaving

Masyn Holiday, also known as Darci Khan, has confirmed that she has parted ways with WWE after a stint in NXT. The news came directly from Holiday herself, who posted a video to social media addressing her exit from the company.

In the video, Holiday was candid about the circumstances behind her decision, explaining that she chose to quit the promotion after dealing with prolonged depression and unhappiness. The admission paints a picture of a performer who ultimately prioritized her mental and emotional well-being over continuing with the organization.

Holiday’s openness about the personal struggles that led to her exit reflects a broader conversation that has become increasingly common in the wrestling industry, where talent have grown more willing to speak publicly about the mental health toll the profession can take. The demands of the WWE developmental system — constant evaluation, performance pressure, and the uncertainty of breaking through to the main roster — can weigh heavily on performers, and Holiday’s video suggests that weight became too much to bear.

With her WWE chapter now closed, it remains to be seen where Holiday lands next. The independent scene and other promotions have frequently served as landing spots for former NXT talent looking to rediscover their footing and passion for the business, and Holiday’s willingness to be transparent with her audience suggests she is approaching this transition on her own terms.

Fans have responded with an outpouring of support following the video, wishing Holiday well as she moves forward in both her career and personal life.
