Masyn Holiday Confirms She Quit WWE, Cites Depression and Misalignment With Her Life’s Purpose

Darci Khan, better known to wrestling fans as WWE Evolve talent Masyn Holiday, has gone public with her departure from the company — and her reasoning is both candid and personal.

In an Instagram video, Khan confirmed she left WWE after a prolonged period of unhappiness, describing the toll it took on her mental health. “I have left the WWE,” she said. “I was very, very, very unhappy at that job. My depression and anxiety at an all time high. Lost myself, I would look at myself in the mirror and not even know who I was anymore, it was that bad. I cried for months straight.”

Khan explained that fear of the unknown kept her from walking away sooner — specifically the worry that she’d leave and still be miserable. But she said the moment she finally quit, the relief was immediate. “Literally the day that I left it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders.”

She was careful to frame her departure without bitterness toward the company. “I’m not saying the WWE is bad, not bashing nobody at WWE, love the people there, but it’s just for me and my purpose on this Earth, it just wasn’t aligning at all.”

According to Khan, the decision itself was unplanned. She described writing in her journal on the day it happened, praying for guidance before practice, and ultimately opening up to her coach when asked what was wrong. Her coach’s response — “honestly, I can see it on your face every day” — confirmed for Khan what she already knew inside.

“I always knew it wasn’t in my heart,” she said. “I knew I could be good, I knew it could potentially take me places, I know how grateful I was to be in that position, but it wasn’t my purpose and calling to be the biggest WWE superstar.”

Khan’s departure had been suspected by fans last week after her social media accounts were updated to reflect her real name. This video marks her first official confirmation. What’s next for her professionally remains to be seen, but she sounds at peace with the choice.
